An inkhorn is literally an inkwell (that you’d use to refill your quill in Shakespeare’s day) made out of an animal’s horn.
By extension, it came to be a pejorative term for scholars who’d pretentiously coin new terms in English by importing words directly from Ancient Greek or Latin to flex their learning.

This freestyle by twin brothers Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd went viral in mid-October 2021. An official song to the freestyle was later released on November 25, 2021.
Aspects of the freestyle which have attracted attention include the brothers' appearance, perceived lyrical paucity, and cultural appropriation, although some have commented positively about the song.

Whilst Steiner’s “Numbers” promo garners the most plaudits and has broken out of the wrestling culture into full-blown memedom, this effort hits harder and has more to unravel.
Steiner is ostensibly insulting the leader of the WCW faction, 14-time world heavyweight champion Ric Flair, in order to generate heat for his faction, the newly-reformed nWo (aka the “nWo 2000”, the latest and lamest attempt by WCW to reignite the huge flames of the original nWo from the mid-late 90s).
However, Steiner takes the opportunity to air some real-life grievances with WCW’s backstage politics in his own inimitable style. While we should always err towards thinking that anything recorded is staged, this is pretty close to a full-blown shoot, with Steiner receiving the (meagre) punishment of being suspended with pay from the taping of their second-tier show, Thunder.

The only line to be repeated in the freestyle, this probably refers to the life vests worn as one pursues an island boy lifestyle.
Flyysoulja & Kodiyakredd opt not to wear vests as they deliver this freestyle from a hot tub.
taking the earlier reference to firearms into consideration, this might just as easily be a reference to a bulletproof vest – implying they’re either important enough for people to want to shoot at, or live a dangerous enough life to make that kind of protection a necessity.
