    BY JOEL STEIN; MARLON WAYANS

    Q. I'm white, so I never saw The Wayans Brothers TV show. Was it any good?

    A. Actually, a couple of white people saw it. It was on the WB, which stood for We Black, and is now Was Black.

    Q. When Carmen Electra came in to read for Scary Movie, how many words did she stumble over?

    A. None. She just took her shirt off.

    Q. Does it hurt that there's a fly girl more famous than you?

    A. Jennifer [Lopez] is a talented girl. I don't have the ass she got.

    Q. Don't put down your own ass. You've got some stuff going on.

    A. Thanks, man. You ain't seen me naked though.

    Q. Why does the MTV Music Video Awards bother with Best Cinematography in a Video? Who cares? Why don't they do Nicest Booty in a Video?

    A. That's what I'm saying. Best Gold Teeth in a Video.

    Q. How come you Jehovah's Witness families become famous? You're not so entertaining when you come to my door.

    A. It prepares you for Hollywood, getting all those doors slammed in your face.

    Q. Who's the Stephen Baldwin of the Wayans?

    A. Which one is Stephen?

    Q. He's the slimy, scary one.

    A. We ain't got no slimy, scary ones in the Wayans family.

    Q. What do the five nonfamous Wayans do? Are they accountants?

    A. They're what you call chillin'. On their W-2 form it says "Chillin'."

    Q. I'd like to be a chillin' Wayans. If you ever have a white Wayans brother, can I be him?

    A. I promise you, you will be him.

    what is a "fly girl/guy"

    enquiring minds would like to know!

    A "fly girl" was a dancer on the TV show, "In Living Color" created by Keenan Ivory Wayans and featured all of the Wayan children and others. It was a very funny show. Made fun of everyone. That is where Jennifer Lopez got her start, as a "fly girl."

    If you live in the US, the reruns are on one of the syndicated stations, not sure which one.

    More generally, "fly" is slang for "hot" or "extremely good-looking" and can be used for either gender.

    Thanks guys for your answers. Sometimes it takes a little while for some of your American slang to work its way across the pacific.
