What is the cigarette emoji supposed to mean? Am I just too stupid to understand what PragerU's response is supposed to signify?

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 126 points 1 year ago

They need a cigarette after busting a massive testicle rupturing nut.

Oh, maybe? Does PragerU think its audience is British or something?

I forgot Americans don't call them fags.

American here, I honestly thought that fag was a synonym for asshole or jerk until I was like twenty. It's hard to say how many of my peers also didn't realize it was a slur. Obviously I don't use the word anymore.

Honestly I only found out it was a slur 3 days ago and I still don't know what it's targeted towards

Gay rights are human rights.

I'm British and even I didn't get it because I know they're not (we have GBNews instead). So I would just interpret it as "cigarette"

As a Canadian I look at that and think dart or a smoke.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I interpreted it as either meaning tab or fag so I guess entirely depends on the region you’re from.

Kinda feels like "I'm waiting"

Think its supposed to represent a cig after sex(or jerking it?) no clue if this screenshot is unaltered or not, all I know is that all gender expression is valid and that femboys do be hawt.

I think it's supposed to be a reference to the thug life meme
