I knew this the first time I said "rip" out loud.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Like RIP of a bong or RIP a line? Or RIP in peace?

[–] Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Rip in rest

Not particularly cringey, but I started saying howdy for the giggles, and here I am now with it as one of my go-to greetings.

I loved the Pogo comic strip (old shit from the '50s and one of the main influences on Bill Waterson for Calvin and Hobbes) growing up and it gave me the habit of using non-words like "momenterribly". I know it makes people think I'm a moron and I don't care.

It also gave me the habit of saying "Friday the 13th fall on a Tuesday this month". Same effect and same apathy on my part.

Cringe

I've found it to be a very useful word though

Rey was on the great British bake off? What timeline is this?

[–] Why9@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's sad but she just wasn't able to do well in any of the tasks. She was too ambitious with the toilet idea, and just missed the mark with the raspberry ganache. She was an awesome sport though!

[–] improbably_me@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Toilet idea is lit fam, yass queen

[–] Why9@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

The idea was awesome, but she tried to make it too big!

Should've just done what Rob Beckett did and do a tiny toilet on a mirror glaze "floor".

The sponge tasted great so she could've won it if it wasn't for the looks!

We used to say things were a total "cot death" back in the early 90s. Strangely that one didn't catch on outside of that specific friend group.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Sounds well peng fam.

As an elder millennial, I'm fascinated by the slang and youth lingo these days. If you know any you think I might not have heard please share.
