Man I forget how many sayings I use that just... Are Not Sayings. Like my favourite description of someone is "an Oatmeal Boy", but literally no one knows what that means because it's a quote my sister used in a poem about her friend's ex-boyfriend. Half of my vocabulary is quotes from YouTube videos or old Tumblr posts that most, if not all, of the people around me have never heard of. But everyone still has their own version of "I'm cameras, bitch" and "top-of-fridge moment" and it's honestly fascinating to me. Maybe I do appreciate being human sometimes
#armchair speaks#tbc this is not me being like 'lol I'm quirky I'm better than everyone because I use obscure quotes' /g#it's more of an observation of the sheer variety of human communication even within a single language#and also how the sheer amount of different media ppl can consume now bcuz of the internet has changed what is 'common' vocabulary#idk this is incoherent but it's interesting to me and I wanted to share it with someone
