About

Oh, Honey, Girl, Security, also known as Tatianna vs. Raven, is a catchphrase and viral video from the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race in which the drag queens Tatianna and Raven are arguing. In response to their ongoing feud, the other contestants replied with the memorable quote "Oh, Honey, Girl, Security," each saying a word in a comedic tone. The moment originally aired in a 2010 episode of the TV show but was brought back as a TikTok sound in mid-2023, being mostly used by friends and family in skits reacting to someone who attempts to act tough in the middle of a fight or be assertive but fails.
