I'd like to think that I'm still young, rather that I'm up to date on what's new, hot and current. Scratch that, I'd like to think that I can pretend to understand the things that fascinate my nieces and nephews and the slang that they use in their daily lives. What pray tell am I referring to but none other than tthe term "Gucci" as an adjective. When used as an adjective, Gucci refers to something that it luxurious and cool. Don't ask me why you wouldn't simply say that something is luxurious or cool instead opting to describe something as "Gucci." Surprisingly enough, even though this slang is new to me now, it's apparently been around since 2008 as referenced here by urbandictionary.com
Gucci
Good, chill, cool, awesome...
Comes from Gucci as in the fashion label... because Gucci is rich and ballin' therefore he is good, cool, and just pimpin'
It's all gucci
Anyways, this past weekend I visited Glory Hole in the Roncesvalles Village of Toronto. The donut shop or parlor had a distinct vintage, rustic feel with just enough elegance to display their outrageously extravagant donuts. I'm not exactly overwhelmed with joy when I see, smell and consume these donuts but they are good. I think of them as the evolution of the once popular hand made specialty cupcakes and muffin craze that became the "it" food was much like Frozen Yogurt and maybe Poutine?
Anyways, check it out for yourself. Try it out. They are literally Glory Holes!
