Let's assume that as an
8 year old Ethiopian child perhaps in your first year of gathering water for your village people, you're in a situation where you have all the water, water, water, etc. that you could ever want, and they all belong to you.
All of these waters are stored in a huge personal closet, and the only person who have access to it is you.
You are going to school, and have thought out the greatest combination of water that will immediately make all your fellow tribe mates do the sun dance. However, your father suddenly says in the morning,
be my hat boy
What kind of sane teenager would say "okay faddah" at this point?
I'm not sure about you, but what did u seh to me?
No. If you are a sane child, you will say"no faddah", and proclaim that you will continue to gather the water that even your father can't access.
Your father sighs. "wat did u seh to me?" He says reluctantly. "wat did u seh to me? wat did u seh to me? wat did u seh to me? be my hat boy".
This is where the "tribe people" are located. They will actually pay their own fathers for a chance to drink the water that will supposedly make them popular, and often complain to their fish village friends that their father isn't fair if they do not get this "chance". Even afterwards, they may give even more money to their father just for another chance at being able to wear the outfit that belongs to them in the first place.
The irony of this situation is that if you simply wanted to drink those waters, there were many ways you could have sneaked by your father: whether it's being his hat, or wat did u seh to me?, there are ways to escape the tyranny of your father.
...and that is what I think of when I see a member of the fish village. Someone who is excessively obedient to someone for the things they already have, either because they're stupid, or want the attention from people who will only judge their looks. Hi hater, its ya boy bangz.
