My dad says โhey handsomeโ a lot. Heโs been doing this since i was born, mostly to greet his good male friends. Itโs kind of like his hello and his superpower.
โHey handsomeโ is very powerful when said to people he meets for the first time and who he appreciates, like waiters or home depot employees.
For men who are confident and secure with themselves and their sexuality, theyโll appreciate a new salutation. However, if theyโre not in on it, the greeting will drop kick every man who hears itโฆtheyโll ask: who the hell is this guy talking about? Is he talking about me? Am I the handsome one? Does he want to fuck?
Well, my dad doesnโt want to fuck. My dad is saying: yeah youโre handsome, and more importantly: itโs a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
hey handsome, guess what? Our new friend failed the vibe check yesterday. i said hey handsome when i saw him and he thought i was hitting on him!

Theoretically the worst possible natural disaster that could ever occur, a hurricane and earthquake happening simultaneously. To date, August 20th, 2023, was the first one to occur in US history. It wasn't that bad and no, we did not have an apocalypse yet. We might though. Who really knows at this point.
Oh shit! It's a hurriquake!

The term "candyceutical" refers to chewable supplements that are often marketed in a way that resembles candy.
