I had the extreme honor today of saying "he's our spider george" and to be understood it was amazing
#for context : im in france so many ppl dont know current english memes#so imagine knowing spider george. a kinda old very tumblr meme. for us it means having been on quite niche english internet for a WHILE#but this coworker and i have been on these niche corners for about as long and as intensively so we have exactly the same references#and it's AMAZING#we were talking abt how in our restaurant until we got 5 new staffers we were all very small (im 1m65 and i was the tallest)#EXCEPT one of our newest (again before all the newbies of the last 3 weeks) who is kinda tall#and bc i know we have the qame references i said “ok i think you'll get that one : he was our spider george” and SHE GOT IT it was great#all these english ppl saying 'memes/vines/tiktok/movie lines i quite on a daily basis' really amaze me each time#bc here unless it's extremely popular AND less than 2 years old 99% of ppl just wont get what you're saying#and yeah spider george is very niche but think of ANY english internet meme older than 2 years old and 99% of ppl wont get it#even like vine references that can seem basic when you're on internet i know (for real) 2 ppl who would get it#and this includes my coworker#i really enjoy being able to say/use some memes that i usually cant with her#bc if uqing a meme results in me giving a 20min internet history courses with translations it's better to not say anything
