minus-squareablair24@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up88·2 年前It’s a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It’s kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place. For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say “not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop.” It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.
minus-squareAsafum@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up44·2 年前Ahhhh thanks for the explanation! I like your ice cream example, but I’m going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.
minus-square/home/pineapplelover@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-22 年前I’m a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

minus-squareSombyr@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 年前Don’t worry. I’m 25 and neither do I. I’m convinced we’ve hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I’m elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.
minus-squareTheHarpyEagle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 年前So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.
