Heard a guy call a girl “based” at the library and she replied with “what?” And he said “uh, nothing”

    Whenever a whippersnapper tells me that something is "based," I put a confused look on my face and ask them "based on what?"

    Somehow this is very embarrassing to them

      I wish I could do that - but I'm too old. They'd probably start explaining what based means.

    I'm not a fan of how frequently internet fascist communities throw around twitch and twitter slang alongside slurs. It used to be easy knowing who the reactionaries were, because for the longest time their thing was AM radio or stormfront. That was because they were either 200 years old or didn't know how to communicate to a general audience. Now they're like a plague infesting every corner of the internet. It's like a switch got thrown around 2011 and they suddenly rebranded themselves.

    Someone asked me what "based" means and I told them it's just the new "epic."

    Based? Based on what? In your dick? Please shut the fuck up and use words properly you fuckin troglodyte, do you think God gave us a freedom of speech just to spew random words that have no meaning that doesn't even correllate to the topic of the conversation? Like please you always complain about why no one talks to you or no one expresses their opinions on you because you're always spewing random shit like poggers based cringe and when you try to explain what it is and you just say that it's funny like what? What the fuck is funny about that do you think you'll just become a stand-up comedian that will get a standing ovation just because you said "cum" in the stage? HELL NO YOU FUCKIN IDIOT, so please shut the fuck up and use words properly you dumb bitch
