can we come up with a new way to say something was wholly unexpected/beyond the imagination? i’ve listed my reasons below: 1. you can basically say this phrase about anything to the point that it’s no longer funny or relatable. it’s rather stale and no longer invokes the feelings of surprise or shock — it’s as tacit as saying ā€œoh that’s randomā€. 2. re:stale— we* have been saying this for 5+ years**, which is basically 400 years internet-wise. we need smth new. 3. unless you actually made a bingo card for the year, idt this phrase should be uttered. if you did make a bingo card, love that for you, and iā€˜d like to see it. 4. it’s just annoying to me idk. it gives millennial ā€œbut first, coffeeā€ vibes. i don’t have a replacement suggestion— i’m just complaining. pls comment alternative ideas for this phrase if u have any. thanks for coming to my ted ta— *gunshot* *y’all **i personally stopped saying this in 2021, but i kinda thought we’d have smth new by now. perhaps i should’ve been the change that i wanted to see in this world.

As a phrase, overdone. As an observation, tends to discourage action. Be gone.

i definitely stole this banter from somewhere i can’t for the life of me remember where, but i see a lot of people using the ā€˜ā€¦i don’t even know her’ bit and feel like we should retire it and switch to this. example convo them: this morning i got Toothbrush Fur caught in my teeth you: i used to play bass in highschool for Toothbrush Fur

tangerine juice is a perfect base to me because it has a smooth, even flavor. unlike other citruses, you can barely taste it, but it thickens up the smoothie. also, i once got into a bar underage by arguing w/ the meathead (endearing) bouncer over our smoothie recipes, so you can trust me! #gainsbrother my go-to recipe: - tangerine juice - mango - banana - spinach - ginger - pineapple (optional) - mixed berries (optional)

i simply don’t want pet dandruff floating around my coffee shop, or my job, or in the test makeup at sephora. bringing ur dog into public spaces is inconsiderate of ppl with allergies! not to mention ppl who have experienced animal-related trauma, or people who just expected a pet-free environment. too many pet owners think their animals should be the exception because ā€œthey're so cuteā€! and then ur cute, furry friend shits on the floor of a beauty store, and some part-time retail worker has to clean it up. (ask me how i know)
