1

A is for... “After a long night of hookin’”

Thus begins S7 contestant Kennedy Davenport’s hilarious explanation for an absolutely insane costume. The judges thought she looked like Tony the Tiger on crack… and who are we to disagree?

2

B is for... Bye, gurl, BYE!

The ultimate unkind dismissal from one queen to another.

3

C is for… Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve & Talent

Qualities every good drag queen needs according to RuPaul herself. We’ll leave you to work out the acronym for yourselves.

4

D is for… Diva

There's a little devil in all of us... but queens have a little diva too.

5

E is for… Echa pa' lante!

S3 queen Yara Sofia's famous phrase literally means "moving forward." Wise words.

6

F is for… Flazéda

This is what happened when S7 contestant Pearl tried to say "laissez faire" but got it wrong. Now, flazéda is the new fierce.

7

G is for… Glamazon

A tall, glamorous and self-confident woman. (Also the name of RuPaul’s classic album.)

8

H is for… Heathers

Remember the 1988 Winona Ryder movie? Carmen Carrera, Delta Work, Manila Luzon, and Raja recreated it during S3. It was the alliance to end all alliances.

9

I is for… Ivy Winters

Fire-breathing S5 contestant famous for strutting the catwalk on stilts and dressed as a butterfly.

10

J is for… Jiggly Caliente

Fan favourite S4 contestant adorably named from the Pokémon, Jigglypuff.

11

K is for… Ki Ki

A catch-up, gossip, natter or chat. Not to be confused with a Kai-Kai… which means something else entirely.

12

L is for… Lip-sync for your life

The ONLY way to survive RuPaul’s Drag Race.

13

M is for… Mawma

A lovely term of endearment between queens.

14

N is for… “Not today Satan, not today”

Bianca Del Rio’s brilliantly bitchy comeback to Courtney Act during S6.

15

O is for… Ongina

Controversial S1 contestant celebrated for bravely coming out about being diagnosed with HIV.

16

P is for… Pit Crew

RuPaul’s buff beefcakes are always on hand to assist Drag Race contestants in challenges.

17

Q is for… Laila McQueen

S8 contestant and (for the convenient purposes of this list) the show’s 100th queen! Laila describes herself as “the crossbreed between a cute stripper and a punk rock girl.”

18

R is for… “Rolodex of hate”

Also known as Bianca Del Rio’s s**t list. Nobody wants to be on it.

19

S is for… Sashay away

The one thing no queen wants to hear from RuPaul.

20

T is for… Tea

Tea gets served up when a queen decides to dish out a truth bomb. Brace yourselves.

21

U is for… Untuck

What happens when it’s finally time for a queen to relax… used both literally and figuratively.

22

V is for… Michelle Visage

Longterm Drag Race judge and all-round legend. You may recognise her from Celebrity Big Brother.

23

W is for… Werk

Putting in a performance with fiery attitude and fierceness.

24

X is for… JinkX Monsoon

S5 winner and much-loved queen Jinkx is Seattle’s hottest, youngest MILF.

25

Y is for… Yara Sofia

S3 and All Stars contestant Yara was voted Miss Congeniality by Drag Race fans. Because she’s awesome.

26

Z is for… EleganZa extravaganZa

What happens when a queen takes elegance to a whole new level.
