siedemnaście/ he he 17

a humorous, playful response to a question about age or a replica in other phatic contexts (making and maintaining contact).  This is an excerpt from a popular quote: On mi drink daje i chce robić ze mną jakieś dziwne akcje ‘Ile ty masz lat?’ (hehe) 17’ from the song by the group Natsu Word: NETERNAL. It refers to an online scandal (drama) involving Leksiu from Team X sending nude photos to a 14-year-old girl. He later explained that he did not know her age and that she appeared to be of legal age in the photos (see https://boop.pl/rozrywka/youtube/leksiu-z-team-x-oskarzony-o-wysylanie-14-latce-niestosownych-zdjec-i-wiadomosci).

The phrase was popularised not only by the song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3iiK2T9KnM), but through numerous reworkings on TikTok and YouTube; it became one of the most popular viral/ memes (see #aonmidrinkdaje).

Examples of usage:

  1. How old are you? -he he, siedemnaście /h/.
  2. She gives me a drink/ Wants to do some weird action with me/ How old are you?/ Hehe 23 https://www.wykop.pl/wpis/67012997/ona-mi-drink-daje-chce-robic-ze-mna-jakies-dziwne-/
