I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is - eviltoast

Is “no cap” next? I’m like way old.

    My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.

    I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”

      That’s the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.

      It’s one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.

          Precisely. Another fun subtle thing to do is add “the” to the term. Gives it an extra sense of dismissiveness. It ain’t “TikTok”, it’s “the TikTok.”

          Or better yet, “the tikkity tok.”

      Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically

        This was me in high school. I even listened to boy bands ironically and then noticed I was singing them unironically.
