Honestly, at first I didn't know the boy was saying "yom." That was till I remembered encountering that word in the book "King Suckerman" by George Pelecanos lol

For those wondering where "yom" came from, it's a back formation of the pre-existing slur "moulinyan." Going back further, "moulinyan" itself is a corruption of the Italian words "mulignane" or "melanzane" (eggplant).

But if you're of a certain age and grew up in certain white ethnic neighborhoods, you knew that's not what he said at all.

No, what the boy actually said was, "You best better turn around, yom!" with "yom" being the operative slur.

Yes, it's the same clip of racial disturbances in late 70s Queens that was circulating on social media during the George Floyd protest era.

At around the 0:21 mark, the captioner thought the boy was shouting "You best better turn around, y'all!"
