“Saw a fat kid wearing an ‘I Love Hip Hop” shirt. The letters ‘C’ and ‘S’ must have washed off”

“Just seen a fat bird wearing a t-shirt saying ‘I Love hip hop’....... ha ha…. the c and the s must have fallen off!!” was posted on Twitter by dan.e.ligner on February 10, 2011. “Just saw a fat bird at the bus stop wiv a I LOVE HIP HOP t-shirt on, thought 2 myself. Ur missing a couple of letters there love, a C & S” was posted on Twitter by Kev on February 11, 2011, Origin of the joke is uncertain.

Adding the letters “C” and “S” to “hip hop” makes it “chip shop” (a fish and chips shop).

Just saw a massive fat lass wearing a t-shirt that said “I love hip hop”
The “C” and the “S” must have rubbed off.
