nyaa nyaa/ naa naa (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Baker, John]

Really?  I have no trouble believing the lack of exposure of nyaa nyaa and olly-olly-oxen-free (I don't recall encountering the latter myself), but black people don't make fart sounds?

Oddly, I've heard neither this nor "olly-olly-oxen-free" in the wild.
Like the "razzberry," it's one of those things that white people write
that they do or say.
