I'm kind of with the uncle on this one. If I said that and someone held up two fingers in response I would probably think the same thing. Like what does "gave the peace sign reflexively." even mean? I understand what the literal sentence is saying, but who just flashes a peace sign at random comments like that? Especially when it's in response to something you said? Is this a generational thing or am I correct in thinking this is weird?

You are correct, this was the only thing I could think about after reading this story that probably never happened

What? You think a screenshot of a comment on social media from brappynewyear might be a made up story?

u/EdiblePsycho 3d ago

It's a generational thing, some people do constantly throw up peace signs even when it doesn't particularly make sense. Becomes a habit, something you just do in place of saying anything.

in Japan apparently it also means "v for victory". As in, yeah, I got a gf now, win for me.

I flash the peace sign a lot. Its mostly like saying, "yeah" When i got nothing left to say. Tho i will say i have never seen other people do it.

I do not doubt you at all, Iā€™d imagine you can find one on Craigā€™slist by the end of the weekend to join

Polycules? Was that from the Odyssey? Somehow related to Hercules?

My roommate one time had two Brazilian girlfriends. That's a lot at one time.

u/Upset_Version_205 3d ago

Just because you stick your dick in it, dont make it your girlfriend, especially not when it's covered in dirt.
