Me Rikey Yur and Likey

Yul is a modification of the old nordic word „Yula“, meaning „wheel“ and referring to the ever constant cycle of the seasons. „Yul“ is a pagan celebration of winter solstice. Solstitium in turn is Latin, meaning „resting of the sun“. During Yul, the longest night of the year, the promise of rebirth and the return of the light are celebrated and realised and many candles are lit. While it originally refers to the night of the 21st December, it has been postponed this year by two weeks, for purely personal reasons.

Rikey, however, is a racist misconception of Asian English accents used predominantly by white heterosexual young males as a humoristic element in popular language. It connotes “like”, i.e. implying bad grammar and pronunciation as in “likey”. Here is a very good example.

I can guarantee you that there is. And she’s a maverick tingle massage.
