minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink88•2 years agoIt’s a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It’s kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place. For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say “not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop.” It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink44•2 years agoAhhhh thanks for the explanation! I like your ice cream example, but I’m going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•2 years agoIt was a good run! At least grok has been around since ‘61.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•2 years agoDon’t worry. I’m 25 and neither do I. I’m convinced we’ve hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I’m elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.
minus-squareTheHarpyEaglelinkfedilink7•2 years agoSo it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.
minus-square/home/pineappleloverlinkfedilink13•edit-22 years agoI’m a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.
