Whack Ass Queens or Whack Ass Queenz (Queens)

“Crack is Wack” is a famous Manhattan mural that was painted by Keith Haring (1958-1990) in 1986. “Wack” or “whack” comes from “wack” or “whacky,” meaning, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “absurdly or amusingly eccentric or irrational : CRAZY.” “Whack-ass” (also “whack ass” or “whackass”) means the same as “whack,” but more so.
 
“Whackass” has been applied to the borough of Queens, New York, since at least 2009:

Wikipedia: Queens
Queens is the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City. It is geographically adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the southwestern end of Long Island, and to Nassau County farther east on Long Island; in addition, Queens shares water borders with the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Coterminous with Queens County since 1899, the borough of Queens is the second-largest in population (after Brooklyn), with a census-estimated 2,333,054 residents in 2016, approximately 48% of them foreign-born. Queens County also is the second-most populous county in the U.S. state of New York, behind the neighboring borough of Brooklyn, which is coterminous with Kings County. Queens is the fourth-most densely populated county among New York City’s boroughs, as well as in the United States. If each of New York City’s boroughs were an independent city, Queens also would be the nation’s fourth most populous, after Los Angeles, Chicago, and Brooklyn. Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world.

wack
1. To be of low or dubious quality. Origin: comes from ‘whacky’, which evolved to ‘whacked’ or ‘whacked out’. Eventually shortened to ‘wack’. The ‘h’ is usually dropped to differentiate the meaning from ‘whack’, which is to hit something hard or, kill (old wise guy terminology).
Yo, my dog, those shoes are wack.
