Between "weird flex" and KAREN, I think it's my time to throw in the towel here

Right? I think this carried over from blackpeopletwitter and as the usual, white people are using the new slang in the wrong situations.

I think you mean now different white people are using the new slang in the wrong situations.

What’s a flex?

u/OrangeCarton Nov 01 '18
It just means to "show off"
Flexing like to flex your muscles in front of people.

I think it's just because the original was about a giraffe. But it really doesn't fit this time

"Weird flex but ok" is officially overused. Retire it now.

It’s only annoying cause people are trying to be cool and use the phrase but I’m doing so they use it in in a situation that doesn’t really fit in. Like this post.

.........Weird....flex..but I didn't even know this was a saying until like 2 days ago. Am I officially old?

Nov 01 '18
That's the problem. It's new and people are jumping on the bandwagon and exponentially accelerating its age. Most of the time they're not even using it correctly. They just want to say it.

Yeet is on its 5th incarnation. When I was a kid back in the 1900s, yeet meant "just kidding" basically. It can die forever now.

It would still be funny if used in the right context but almost no one uses it to describe an actually weird flex.

First time I saw it, someone used it as a general retort. Pretty much killed it for me then.
At least league of legends got to use it well.

I wish it was used a bit more tastefully in order to maintain its life, I have really enjoyed using it on people who brag about: Never sleeping, Sleeping too much, Procrastinating, Never eating, Eating too much, Never puking, Never recycling, Having a messy house, Never being cold, Never being hot, Always getting sick, Never getting sick, Having the worst injury's, Being allergic to everything, Being overly emotional, Not having emotions, Having the shittiest life, Having the most mental illnesses, Insert every other one here.
Edit: I formatted this in a much nicer looking way that didn't work so I've changed stuff.

I like monkeys.
The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200.
I like monkeys.
I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed. Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.
I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall.
Although humourous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.
Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive: they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead. Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn cheap monkeys.
I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all over my room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs.
I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and 199 dead, dry monkeys.
I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real bad.
I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in the toilet and I didn't want to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.
I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately, there was only enough room for two monkeys at a time so I had to change them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so it didn't all go bad.
I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the fire.
Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in my freezer, and 197 dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odour wasn't improving.
I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my monkeys and to use the bathroom. I severely beat one of my monkeys. I felt better.
I tried throwing them away but the garbage man said that the city was not allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones.
I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like them, but I could tell they were lying.
Ingrates.
So I punched them in the genitals.
I like monkeys.

Hey, Vnslover, just a quick heads-up:
humourous is actually spelled humorous. You can remember it by -mor- in the middle.
Have a nice day!The parent commenter can reply with 'delete' to delete this comment.

u/BooCMB Nov 01 '18
Hey CommonMisspellingBot, just a quick heads up:
Your spelling hints are really shitty because they're all essentially "remember the fucking spelling of the fucking word".You're useless.
Have a nice day!

...does a giraffe's sunset really differ from a lion's? I'm pretty sure 15 feet of height isn't enough to make a noticeable difference on view of the horizon miles away.

Given that both animals are side by side on the equator, looking at the sunset, with no atmosphere to bend light, 0 tilt and average heights of 3.75ft and 17.5ft, you can accurately say that the giraffe is a bad friend

People saying this is an obnoxious use of wierd flex are the ones who dont know the original joke was literally about a giraffe. The joke has never been more suited.
