Thank you I’m funny
What am I missing here? Why “not my family?” Did they mean like “oh no, not my family! How embarrassing for them to see!” It just reads really strange.
It’s a variant of the sarcastic “that couldn’t be me”
e.g.: “Goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before the final exam? That couldn’t be me /s.” -> “Not me goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before”
Tell me you’re old and out of touch without telling me you’re old and out of touch.
Im like 20 and didnt get it too
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.
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.
Not you not groking Gen Z 😩

Goddamn it I’m “only” 37 and I don’t understand English anymore lmao

At least grok has been around since ‘61.
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.
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.
Tell them that the old men on Lemmy say stop it.
Seconded
They put their watches in “wrestling mode” then their parents get notified of when they stopped “wrestling”
Not is the correct word.
