‘Mouth Breather’

Like yeah I don’t get this one. We all breathe through our mouths (and noses), because we have to. Yet I read this sometimes as it is used like an insult. So what are you saying? You’re insulting someone for doing what billions of other human beings have to do naturally?

    Much less common now but calling things gay. I find it fascinating watching early 2010’s video and hearing people call things gay, I even remember doing it myself lol.

      My trans niece doesn’t get the joke when I (correctly but excessively) call random shit she does gay (like not in an insulted way, mostly just confused). She’ll be like “my girlfriend is so pretty” and I’m just immediately like “gay.” Your girlfriend made you pancakes? GAY. Cuddling with her? SO. gay. Long walks in the park? Extra gay. I picked that joke up in 2016 and I’m not letting go any time soon.
