Using tumblr slang around real people makes for some interesting miscommunication
*points to dumpster* same energy
My poor co-worker: wat
Me: the fire alarm testing is giving me war flashbacks
Me: from like, dormlife
My long suffering therapist: we’ve talked about this
Me: asdfghjjhgfgj
Sister: how are you doing that with your mouth
*in a complete deadpan* I am literally crying right now
I’ve started using more odd and specific threats I’ve seen on tumblr like “i’m going to steal your pancreas for making that pun” or “if you eat my leftovers I will cut the toes out off all of your socks” my friends think it’s hysterical and people my parents age usually give me a frightened “you’ll WHAT?” oddly old people also find it hysterical and usually have witty comebacks
threatening to cut the toes off of socks is the scariest threat by far
Old people had the same humor when they were young. Tumblr crap appeals to people who lived through the original dada period.
Meanwhile, people our parents age had a whole different thing.
the dada and the e-dada generations
It’s taken me six months to inure my Bible study groups to my use of “mood.”
i still can’t believe tumblr users are allowed in church
