A GUIDE: SEVENTEEN/CARAT INSIDE JOKES AND MEMES

helloww~

whether you are a new or old carat, i welcome you to this post! it’s essentially every fandom inside joke/meme that i could think of and boy are there A LOT. For every joke there is an explanation and then some links(: I know this is not all of them, so please reblog with the ones i’m forgetting and let me know if any of the links do no work. I hope you have a fun time reading through this and as always, please love and support our boys!! ^.^

slip into the diamond life

A phrase used to indicate joining the fandom. seventeen released a song before they debuted called “shining diamond” in which “slip into the diamond life” is a recurring lyric. The fandom name is carats. Therefore, becoming a carat means slipping into the diamond life.

This birthed a spur of many many “slip into the diamond life” related memes.

hoshi’s many nicknames

(his real name is kwon soonyoung btw)

1.) “naega hosh”: Alright i’m p sure this one started way back when he was a trainee but it’s been his sort of “catch phrase” if you will. it means “i am hosh(i)” and you can watch a 10 minute compilation of him saying it (here). he has a hand motion to go with it and legit even put it in a song (jam jam) because he’s extra. 2.) “10:10″: soonyoung has branded himself 10:10 because the ends of his eyes are slanted upwards. If his face is a clock and the ends of his eyes are the hands, it looks like they are pointing to the time 10:10. (he even has a cute lil hand motion). he often shouts “what time is it now” at an audience and is a salty lil bitch when no one answers 10:10 or “ten hour ten minute” (watch here and here). also, here is soonyoung doing both the naega hosh and 10:10 hand motions. 3.) “kwon fire”: during seventeen’s reality show on one fine day (the first time), soonyoung came across his undiscovered talent for starting/keeping up fires. (watch here). he and the boys referred to him as kwon fire. 4.) “kwon spoiler”: excited lil bb sometimes has trouble keeping his mouth shut, that’s really all there is to this one. 5.) “kwon hamster/hamster hosh”: he looks like a hamster okay, even seventeen acknowledge this. look at his lil squishy cheeks omg i love him. 6.) BONUS: “my name is soonyoung, call me soon”. yes, these words came from his own lips in this 130709 broadcast

are you kimbap kidding ??

soonyoung and seungkwan used to have a broadcast show called “andromeda”. one time, junhui and joshua were guests in a game and competition to make kimbap, and apparently joshua done hecKED UP. (watch here).

seventeen’s “friend” john

this comes from an andromeda episode where seungkwan accidentally swore (the word sounds similar to “john”), and they all tried to play it off smoothly like the idiots they are. (watch here).

EGGU TART

When seventeen were in hong kong for mama, they got really hyped about eating egg tarts and mentioned it a few hundred times on their broadcast XD (watch here)

jihoon’s guitar rage

so one time when the boys were trainees, jihoon (woozi) chased mingyu with a guitar as a weapon. It became a thing. (see here and here)

yes of the yes

i really don’t know. it just became a thing. (watch here). seungkwan, dokyeom, and hoshi are known as the sunshine line, the gag trio, the mood makers, whatever you want to call it. they have branded themselves “booseoksoon”, a term derived from their real names; boo seungkwan, lee seokmin, and kwon soonyoung.

jun vs. logo

basically, whatever logo is overlayed on the video is always covering jun’s face and he k n o w s. (see here, here, and here).

YOOOO LADIESSS

on an episode of 17tv (when they were trainees), seungkwan tried to wake jihoon (woozi) up by playing the song “queen” by son dam bi (watch here). since then, they have reenacted it LOL (watch here).

mal (horse) dance

in korean, mal (말) means horse. dokyeom started a campaign where seventeen does a horse pose whenever “mal” is in lyrics. (watch here and here).

vernon bubble

vernon impersonating a bubble. it’s cute cause he gets shy shy shy about it. (see here and here).

michael chanson

dino’s real name is chan, and he worships michael jackson (examples here). since chan is a dancer, this is mainly regards to dancing and performing. there’s so many videos of him dancing michael jackson style, and one of his hobbies is dancing specifically girl group dances michael jackson style haha!

pin dropping joshua

basically, he pin drops all the time and seventeen are 100000% hype for it. (see here and here). fun fact: one time jeonghan tried it and failed.

jeonghan’s list of claims

just see here, here. here, and here.

pretty u first win

several members cried when seventeen got their first win, and understandably so. the feeling of your hard work being acknowledged in such a way is incredible, but i can only imagine how it must feel given that seventeen are so self producing. anyways, the members who cried the most are woozi (bb who wrote/composed the song), hoshi (bb who choreographed the performance), and seungkwan (bb who is soft okay). (watch here). now the reason why this is so great: every year, seventeen reenact the crying and it’s hilarious. (example here). fun fact: someone once gave hoshi a crying hoshi doll (x).

clumsy mingyu

he might be a tall mess, but at least he’s a cute tall mess.

*drops things, bumps into things, forgets luggage passcode, sets off trap in boom boom video (is that a coincidence i think not)*

theres honestly so many instances where this poor baby is clumsy, here are some examples: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h

boo seungkwan’s many nicknames

1.) “best quality boo”: just watch this video and know that seungkwan is the best quality. 2.) “boonon”: whenever seventeen does part switches, seungkwan and vernon always switch parts. the thing is, seungkwan is actually pretty good at rapping so now we are just waiting for boonon to make his debut. (watch a compilation here). 3.) “diva boo/booyonce”: he’s a sassy savage lil drama queen but in the best way okay hear me out. also one time he uttered the words “beyonce sunbaenim”. there’s way too many examples of diva boo, but see examples here and here. 4.) “boo from jeju”: seungkwan is from jeju-do island and mentions it whenever the opportunity strikes okay the hometown pride is REAL. (see examples here and here and there are so many more). one time he brought tangerines to give to fans and it was so cute, he became sad when he ran out. ALSO seventeen had a mini reality show type thing in jeju where seungkwan was their guide. (watch that here). 5.) “mc boo”: he’s just a variety king and great mc. that’s all there is to this one.

drink water not alcohol / you need jisoos

i’m not 100% sure this is the actual origin of the meme, but one time during trainee period some of the members were doing a vocal practice for pitbull’s “give me everything tonight”. samuel (a previous member) sung the line “i might drink a lil more than i should tonight” and at the time he was like 10 years old or something, so joshua awkwardly but cutely just went “drink water!....not alcohol!...” (watch here). conveniently, joshua’s korean name is jisoo, so “jisoos” (as in Jesus) became a thing. the meme only got better when joshua literally dressed up as a pastor one halloween (see here).

memesol

vernon’s korean name is hansol, and his entire existence is a meme. it started off with his *embarrassing* videos from when he was a child and there are many. the most famous reference is probably “kidney function is not a right, it’s a privilege” (see here). other than that, he just has priceless reactions to everything and basically all of his english lyrics in his raps have been made into memes.

thughao

the8′s real name is minghao and judging by his voice, face, and mannerisms you might think he is a cute lil button however you are w r o n g. there is a side to him we refer to as “thughao” because he can be savage AF (watch some compilations here and here). there was one particular famous instance (watch here) that even made a meme appearance at ISAC (see here) honestly i’m still laughing i love him so much. you may think this is just a reference to all the ways in which minghao has displayed savageness, but no, he was an actual child thug (see photos here). he was the leader of a swag bboy group (see his skillz here and in many current videos) also he is great at martial arts (watch this).

germgyu

mingyu has a sneezing problem. and a germ problem. just look at examples here, here, and here.

and there you have it! i hope everyone reading this has a smile right now because of seventeen! if you are new to the fandom, i hope you feel more at home and love the boys even more.

like i said, i know there’s things i’m forgetting so please reblog this with any other fandom jokes/memes you can think of!

thank youu!!!!!
