International dishwasher day

Also known as international dishwashing machine day (IDM Day), this is where people get together on December 28 to celebrate Josephine Cochrane's invention of the dishwasher in 1886 cause lord knows what sort of society we'd be living in without a dishwasher.

Madeline: yo it's international dishwasher day
Abby: Eyyy lemme go grab my cascade pods!

LARP

1) Basically children's make-believe but for adults. Often augmented to a significant extent in which there are costumes, props and setting elements specifically designed for it. Funnily, the adults will take the make-believe far more seriously than the kids, who—at the end of the day—will come back to reality.

2) An internet phenomenon where the anonymity of the internet allows individuals to masquerade as any identity as they so please, with a central theme surrounding it (often a controversial one). There is no real motive for LARPing other than "for the lulz" or "for the aesthetic". LARPing is similar to trolling in a way, but fundamentally different. In fact, you could LARP around as a troll, thus creating a double-walled identity.

In both forms of LARPing, the degree of immersion can range from frivolous to completely involved.

SENSE 1: "So I was just going for the usual hike in the backwoods until I was suddenly startled by these medieval-dressed men with toy swords who leaped out of the bushes yelling some weird phrase"

"Sounds like they were LARPing"

SENSE 2:
a) Tyler likes to LARP as a dream smp fan for the experience, but really he has no interest in it.
b) Some (but not all) of the conspiracy nutjobs down in the YT comments section are just LARPers who do it for the lulz.
c) Danielle often LARPs online as a dude with the pronouns he/him. In actuality, Danielle is a girl and identifies as she/her, but being a guy feels more exciting to her.

d) "Take the comment sections in The Hollywood Reporter with a grain of salt, the users there are known to LARP as trolls"

Kombucha

A fermented fizzy tea drink where the flavors differs drastically from one brand to another. Like seriously, some taste absolutely awful while others have a pleasant beer-like aroma. Due to different bacteria strains, each one has its own distinct flavor so you can't really generalize kombucha (something I learned). You pretty much gotta sample each and every brand out there to know which one tastes the best. Once you found a good one, it serves as a nice and healthy alternative to carbonated soda.

Young Gamorra: Did you find the perfect Kombucha?
Thanos: Yes
Young Gamorra: What did it cost?
Thanos: Everything....

Store brand

The superior brand choice for the enlightened masses. These enlightened individuals realize that name brands and store brands are literally one and the same. The only difference is that you're paying more for the label on the can, and only suckers and conformists fall for that. Organic brands, however, trump both store and name brands. Mainly self-actualized people buy organic brands.

In summary:
organic/healthy brands > store brands > name brands

Some dude: *buys name-brand chips*
Me, an enlightened cashier: Hey, you know you can save $2 by buying the store brand alternative, right?

Parent who deleted their son's Minecraft world

A fucking piece of shit.

Person 1 Did you hear about that parent who deleted their son's Minecraft world just because he slept late? The son was only like 9 y/o.

Person 2: Yeah, they're a fucking piece of shit.

the Amogus game

The amogus game is based off the penis game, but instead of shouting penis you shout AMOGUS.

The one who is able to out-shout the others wins. Must be performed in a public setting.

The mall was jam packed with people today so we played the Amogus game

:P

:P is quite possibly one of the most clean and innocent emoticons to ever exist. You ideally would add this towards the end of your sentence to convey a sense of playfulness and lightheartedness, especially when the things you've said can come off as a bit inappropriate/insensitive if interpreted the wrong way.

NOTE: this text-based emoticon CANNOT be substituted for the emoji equivalent of a tongue sticking out (especially not the standalone tongue, dear god no).

TWO TEXTING SCENARIOS:

Guy classmate: Ugh I'm so thirsty :P

Girl classmate: Lol same, was too busy studying that I literally forgot to drink some water

Guy classmate: Ugh I'm so thirsty 🥵👅
Girl classmate: Ummm....
Guy classmate: Lol what? I mean I'm thirsty for water
Girl classmate: Ohh, I thought you meant something else lol
