Pookies and Ray-Rays 

Definition - Pookies and Ray-Rays are stereotypical ghetto-dwelling men. They lack ambition; they usually don't have a job or decent income. They probably have felony records for stupid crimes (domestic abuse, petty theft, selling weed, robbery, assault), drug addiction, and multiple children by several women. They have few employment prospects due to their inability to take control of their lives, mainly because they're poorly educated. They lack personal accountability for their problems and cannot respond to difficult circumstances. They are shamelessly low-class.

Who coined the phrase? Popular YouTube and podcast host Oshay Duke Jackson coined the term around 2018 as a funny way to describe low-life black men.

Origin - The term derives from the nicknames of famous movie characters of the same names; "Pookie," the comical crackhead from New Jack City (Chris Rock), and "Ray-Ray," the two-timing crook from South Central (Byron Minns). However, these nicknames were common in many black ghettos in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
"She spent her best year weaving and gelling. Now, she has multiple children by different Pookies and Ray-Rays, but wonders why no good man wants to marry her."
