For me, it's about people having to always point how something makes them so old that was popular in their childhood. And they never ever stop to point out to everyone and announce how old they are.

Like yes, we get it, time fucking moves forward. It is by design. What makes you so special out of the billions that came before you and the billions more that'll come after you, about how old you are? It doesn't make you special so shut up.

You're not asking, you're soapboxing.

Yeah, but it's the first time I've felt old....

Get over yourself. People say stupid shit all the time, you'll understand once your older there skibidi toilet chum.

Who said it is by design? Have you spoken with these designers?

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whoever it is, I would like to speak to their manager

Ok, Karen.

Actually... That's mine. "Ok, Karen."

All the places where time’s not moving forward, the designers are frozen.

Time’s still in the icebox, so to speak.

Based.

It's fucking annoying and adds literally nothing to the conversation.

And every time I think I understand what people mean by it, I’m wrong. This one has got to stop.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's an affirmation that's usually pulled out when someone's statement goes against mainstream thinking.

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I think I’ve seen that usage, but I’ve also seen it used as a negative put down rather than an affirmation. I just have a lot of trouble with this one for some reason. Anyone know where it comes from?

"My brother in Christ" before every stupid comment on reddit. I was over it the very first time I read it.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I like following verbal meme trends, then watching them die out.

Couple of years ago everyone described nearly everything as "spicy".

The overuse if "hear me out" before making a mid statement.

That dark period of time when people used "amazeballs".

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Amazeballs was amazeballs, you shut your dirty mouth about amazeballs

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You sound salty about their take on amazeballs.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nothing like some nice, salty amazeballs

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're packed full of vitamins and good for you

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

You know, I've said the exact same thing to people about my amazeballs. Successfully even!

There used to be a patisserie in NYC that sold amazeballs. Chocolate, caramel, salt, nougat, and a couple other flavor profiles. They were not good. Well, I didn't think so.

"a masterclass in"

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

"Society owes you nothing."

Always spoken by someone who wouldn't give if they felt they had to anyways.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really a saying but more of a term.

Sus

That thing needs to die
