It's because it's so close to baby talk, just very easy to say and understand.

I also think about this. It makes no sense, everything about it says "quick trend". Gen Alpha kids should be ruthlessly mocking us for still saying it, but somehow it became fully canonized.

"Bop" is my favourite new term for a good song (replacing "banger") because it's also straight from 1920s jazz lingo and that's loving cool. In fact a lotta of 20's jazz slang is coming back around and I for one and here for it.

Well, sure, it's the '20s right now.

It stopped being slang and is now just the definitive word for the broader concept. Slang tends to be applied to a narrower scope. Like rizz and drip aren't synonyms but both describe aspects of coolness

Plus it's just fun to say "gently caress that's cool"

I know, right? It's the dollar store version of "cool bananas".

Which is what people with "rizz" say.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's so stupid. The way to go is to say that outside of lunch hours, there's a 10% discount on selected items and combos, while increasing the price across the board.

I don't know which one of the PYF funny stuff threads had it recently, maybe the Tweets one, but it's a reference to how some Californian DMV rejected a guy's vanity plate (presumably he was a fan of Nier: Automata) for the reason that 2B 9S must stand for two blunts, nine sluts.

That is absolutely what will be happening. They've already had to do damage control and say they won't dynamically raise prices, so that means the only alternative is an overall price increase with dynamic "discounts".

Damage control? Nah, they’re in our heads rent free now. I bet this was their plan all along.

Could employees use this to mess with customers? Like "Ok, just the small vanilla Frappuccino, that'll be $5. [Customer tries to hand over a five-dollar bill] Ooohhh, sorry, it's actually just gone up to $5.01."
