It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but the Toast has already provided me with the #1 reason I’m grateful for the internet this year. Seriously, THIS.
I love you = we are both on the Internet, and we agree about something
shut it all down = I’m going to stay right here and not leave the Internet and keep reading this
NSFW = this is a picture of food
#tcot = I have not talked to an actual conservative since high school
essential reading = you will have forgotten this by next week at the latest
#FF = here is a list of people I am hoping will eventually notice and follow me back
threw shade = I am a straight person who learned about the phrase “threw shade” in the last eight months
THIS = I have no insight to add
I can’t even = I am having, at most, one feeling
huge, if true = I have no interest in finding out if this is true
Devastating/raw = I read three paragraphs of this before deciding it was too depressing to continue
shots fired = I have never heard a gun go off in real life; here is a mildly provocative article about food
Please note that this post comes complete with a picture of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in college.
I know. I can’t even. I love you, the Toast.
(I don’t love you as much as I love McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, though. #sorrynotsorry)
(Also, this post should in no way be understood to mean that I will stop using and/or loving internet slang anytime in the near future. I will not. Internet slang is my spirit animal.)
