The retired NBA and former Floridian Shakil O’Neal, 53-year-old, want to retire to Okala, Florida because of the opening of the eyes: rumors of villages that have been spread to the Floridians for years.
If you do not know, the villages are one of the largest pension communities in the United States, covering three districts and boasts more than 80,000 residents over 55 years old.
Most Floridians who know about the villages have probably heard a rumor that was viral in 2023 about the high percentage of the Community PPB and the “Luffa Code”, which the residents of the villages claim to have signaled to others what their sexual preferences are.
This, combined with true stories of the elderly who is caught having sex in public places in the retirement community, created quite a reputation of villages – so much so that Shak wants to move there for He told Mike Tyson in his podcast recently.
“For years, the villages have been collecting stories that claim that there is a larger frequency of sexually transmitted disease than in Miami,” writes the colostine Frank Kerabino for Palm Beach Post in 2023.
Here’s what Shak said about his “dream retirement scenario” and a quick explanation of what the real “Lupata Code” is in the villages.

Shak’s podm, “The Big Shak Podgue,” is a weekly show that he hosts sports castor Adam Lefko, covering a wide variety of topics, sports to personal life and entertainment. The new episodes drop out every Wednesday. Last week, with Mike Tyson there as a guest, Lefko asked Shak what his “dream retirement script was.”
Shak said he did not want to be in the old people’s home and did not want his children to have to take care of him.
“The script of dreams is: this is a place called the villages. The villages are the home of the elderly, but they have the highest percentage of PP. I want to be there,” Shak told Lefkoe and Tyson. “When I get to 65 and I can’t move, take me down to Okala, Florida. Just let me go by your boy.”
Has Shack ever live in Florida?
Yes! Shack now lives in Texas, but has owned four different homes in Florida in his stable real estate portfolio, according to Architectural Digest.

What are the villages known for Florida for? The villages of Lupata Code became a viral
The villages are mostly known for their size. With more than 80,000 inhabitants – about 79,000 in 2020 – this is one of the largest (if not, the largest) pension communities in the United States
“The villages are home to the largest recreation department in the world, there are more golf courses than any other community in the world, is the home of three city squares (with a fourth just announced), where residents go to eat and shop and enjoy free night entertainment and are home to approximately 100 restaurants.”
But they are not the opportunities for relaxation or golf courses for relaxation or golf. Like Shack, many people have heard rumors over the past few years that villages have been a community of many sexually active elderly people who use “code” to learn the sexual preferences of the other.
Reddit theory flew out in 2023 when someone published on the various colored crops that residents put on their cars. But according to the Palm Beach Post colonist, Frank Kerabino and Ryan Erisman, who publish the blog “Inside the bubbles” about life in villages, the stories of residents that use colorful coded signals for the loff, are not true.
According to reports and comments by former Reddit’s original thread employees, “Loofah code” is actually a way for some adults to find their car in parking lots.
