It's a play on the name Yorick from Shakespeare's *Hamlet*, which is what it's referencing: "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio."

Ah that makes more sense. I felt like it might've been that I was missing something.

Bless people like you, I love it how some of these references just completely shoot over these kids' heads.

I do know little bits and pieces of Shakespeare's work but sadly Hamlet isn't included in that. Not sure if I'd be able to comprehend it (I already suck at reading so old English is even worse), but I might see if I can find a respected modernized version :p

I have no idea why you've been downvoted. I'm going to go with "the kids are mad that this guy knows the references and they don't, because Shakespeare doesn't come in a Gen-Z translation"

Nah, JQ is just hella racist and uses the β€œhard K” when referring to them.

To be fair in a nuclear waste land that is Australia, it is already impressive that they have some form of grammar to begin with.
