[–]webhead311 19 points20 points ago

thank you

[–]motionmufin 6 points7 points ago

Your name made me smile and your words were inspirational. Thank you.

[–]kmshadoze 9 points10 points ago

I have incorporated the word "dank" in my family quite well. We make "Dank Corn" (home made popcorn with certain flavors) goto "DankWay" (Sub Way) and overall if anything is good, it is to be considered Dank, by all members of my house lol

[–]ZackOdom 4 points5 points ago

that shit CRAY

[–]kellygene 28 points29 points ago

alright i'll say it, calling anything not weed dank makes us look like full on retards

[–]quirx90 8 points9 points ago

At least they only say dank. I've heard middle schoolers claiming that something is "heady" or "middy" before

[–]cbdckr 2 points3 points ago

haha I've heard people around here call food and things worth lots of money "fire" which is a slang for dank around here

[–]waytogokip 4 points5 points ago

I've only heard that in reference to coke.

*Tennessee here, not correcting you, just love hearing about differences in slang. It's the English major in me.

[–]TheMarshma 0 points1 point ago

we say fire in hawaii, Thought it was local too.

[–]seebaw 0 points1 point ago

This bothers me just as much as dank. To me, they are adjectives that describe pot. Using these terms for things that are odd is a running joke in out circle. It pops up randomly at awkward moments that don't belong and we say it in a voice like Brian on half baked

[–]kellygene -2 points-1 points ago

the fuck did they stop teaching english in public schools?

[–]HighInAK 20 points21 points ago

Right before your generation.

[–]freemeth 21 points22 points ago

No it doesn't bro. It's funny. Things are allowed to be funny. Like this dank joke I'm about to make: Black jokes and Mexican jokes are all the same. Once you've heard Juan you've heard Jamal.

[–]kellygene 2 points3 points ago

humor is relative.

[–]kmshadoze 7 points8 points ago

dank is a great word.. I use it regularly. Hater..

[–]AnotherBrick324 4 points5 points ago

THANK YOU.

[–]kellygene 1 point2 points ago

looks like its just me and you

[–]powerofthetribe 2 points3 points ago

Well that's just an opinion, brutha

[–]zorggi3 0 points1 point ago

awww. that's so not dank. ):

[–]webslingga 0 points1 point ago

Why single that one thing out?

[–]kellygene 0 points1 point ago

because other than that i like this post.

[–]Osbourne_Cox 4 points5 points ago

I feel like almost every episode of this show has at least one scene that's perfect .gif material.

[–]ThisWontFrontPage 1 point2 points ago

My dad once told a waitress "theres only seeds and stems left" but he meant to say we needed more chips for the salsa. The waitress and I were both awestricken.

[–]spaceroach 1 point2 points ago

Gonna meet that Dad.

[–]Breyburn 1 point2 points ago

I can't think of anything that flatters my father more than slang. Maybe your dad is the same way, and he interpreted your comment like so: "This steak is delicious, you hip and stylish man."

[–]ThingsHappen 1 point2 points ago

Fuckin children.

[–]FuhShizzleMyNizzle 0 points1 point ago

wait he thinks youre an ent or you think hes an ent

[–]Ultima22 0 points1 point ago

The Office + Trees + Food = Awwww yyyeeaaahh

[–]stonersoup 0 points1 point ago

I can see it now... "Yo dad, this is some dank ass steak!"

[–]TheGoodFortune 0 points1 point ago

I have a major problem with calling everything that I find enjoyable "dank".

[–]Dunmor 0 points1 point ago

My dad says dank. But the word dank was used differently back then

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

YOUR DAD IS STANLEY FROM THE OFFICE??!

[–]ceri23 0 points1 point ago

Careful padawan. He may just think it's another word for "hip" or "cool" that the kids these days are saying. Kinda like how "gay" became synonymous with "bad" when I was in middle school. We all ran around calling things gay all the time. Felt shitty when one of my best good friends turned out to be gay. We probably totally messed him up. His parents disowned him and he moved halfway across the country. We haven't heard from him since.

[–]Hanflander 1 point2 points ago

I think his parents disowning him had more to do with why he moved away than you and your friends calling things "gay."

[–]ceri23 1 point2 points ago

Oh well yeah. No doubt about that. I just feel bad and unENTly having used gay as a slur for so long. I mean we were dumb kids. I barely even knew what it "actually meant". Still. Feels bad.

[–]Hanflander 1 point2 points ago

I did all the time back in school until something similar happened. None of my friends have "come out of the closet" but after high school a lot of the people I hung out with were openly gay and I eventually omitted the word from my vernacular as having a bad connotation. Plus there's tons of more flagrant, vulgar words that don't translate to "happy" that you can use to describe something you think is odd or unsavory.

[–]ceri23 1 point2 points ago

If I ever see him again I'm going to apologize for the childish stuff we teased him about. At the time it was a "give as good as you get" sort of boys being boys stuff, but if he already knew he was gay by 12-14 years old, it probably hurt to have us all saying stuff like "you like nickelback? That's so gay". I don't think nickelback was ever around back then, but as an example.

[–]pandub 0 points1 point ago

Your dad is the guy who plays Stanley from the office? Dope!

[–]Hanflander 0 points1 point ago

What's funny is if you look up the definition of the word dank...

dank |da ng k|

adjective

disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold.

DERIVATIVES

dankly |ˈdøŋkli| adverb

dankness |ˈdøŋknəs| noun

ORIGIN Middle English : probably of Scandinavian origin and related to Swedish dank ‘marshy spot.’

I can only assume the vernacular definition we are familiar with was derived from the pungent odor?

[–]xDrSchnugglesx 0 points1 point ago

Are you part of 'Familismo'?

[–]raging_asshole 0 points1 point ago

Hah, from the thumbnail I thought it was going to be this one

[–]Sharkey42o 0 points1 point ago

They usually are or once were

[–]Bongripasaurus -3 points-2 points ago

i use the term dank with everything, also chronic... its kinda fun haha. a lot of people are like, doesnt dank mean bad?

[–]kellygene 0 points1 point ago

i too like to misuse words, sometimes ill call stuff holocaust, like yo that kickflip was so holocaust ... see its kind of annoying when people don't use words correctly.

[–]Bongripasaurus -3 points-2 points ago

might have to start using this now... haha

[–]kellygene 0 points1 point ago

please do it near a public official that would be so 9-11

[–]trichometetrahydron -1 points0 points ago

Did your dad make the steak or cook it? I think if you look into the production chain of meat, how it was "made" tells a story much larger and darker than your enjoyment at the dinner table.

At the same time, I appreciate the feeling of finding out your parent is an ent; not trying to rain on any parades, but really more like just a well-placed drop of water, to start some fruitful discussion.

[–]NurnHoss -2 points-1 points ago

LOL! Awesome! ^

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

LOL how old is he?
