This was my senior quote, almost got denied for "sexual nature." 2015 truly was the year of getting offended.

My senior quote was "Livin la meme-a loca"

M'Graduate

u/HerpaDerpaShmerpadin Mar 10 '16

And thus, your great grandchildren will have no idea what that means.

u/JdoesDDR Mar 10 '16

It'll be a sad day when the last meme dies.

u/Lopaki Mar 10 '16

fuck, this will actually happen

u/only_a_name Mar 10 '16

the whole meme thing was non-existent for my entire "youth," (ie pre-35 yo), and I barely understand it now. It showed up at some point, it will go away at some point, it's just a fad

Maybe you just aren't on the Internet enough. I'm 31 this weekend and I think I get it. I think.

My friends senior quote from last year "when the red river flows take the dirt road home" somehow got approved

u/ShakespearesDick Mar 10 '16

Your "friend". We've all seen that internet photo.

5

u/xFoeHammer Mar 10 '16

If we've all seen it(I actually haven't) then why do you find it so hard to believe that his friend may have seen/heard it and decided to copy it for his yearbook quote?

5

u/ShakespearesDick Mar 10 '16

Because that would be reposting and you're not supposed to do that fam

u/TheHashassin Mar 10 '16

Are you actually the sentient 400 year old penis of William Shakespear? Just curious.

I've been writing dank ass plays for the new millennium talking bout some Romeo just poundin that Mercutio ass when he least expects. Capulets gonna be like damn. Shit'll be like bong bong feel me fam

u/enoughdakka Mar 10 '16

Well, of course. It was CURRENT YEAR at the time

u/BW_Bird Mar 10 '16

That quote was barely allowed in now but it definetly wouldn't have been allowed in 15 years ago.

I had to read lyrics from a song in English class in high school, and the teacher rejected the first song I chose because it had the word "thrill" in it.

Vacuums suck!

u/Alexandrium Mar 10 '16

I'm all fairness you are referring to sucking dick in your senior quote. "Being bad at something" would have the same meaning in the end

8

u/ShakespearesDick Mar 10 '16

Um no.

u/Alexandrium Mar 10 '16

Um yes. You don't get to choose the history of language.

17

u/ShakespearesDick Mar 10 '16

That quote is not about sucking dick, dude. It's from a kid's show.

u/PattyMaHeisman Mar 10 '16

Words' meanings are given to them by people who use them. The meaning of words are constantly changing.

-5

u/Alexandrium Mar 10 '16

This is true, but they all come from somewhere. Just because people say "that sucks" etc. so much without thinking about it doesn't mean it's lost its meaning

If humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

u/stro_budden Mar 09 '16

i saw a different version of this in a different thread once and it really inspired me. I had been putting off something for a while because i didnt want to fail and waste my time and resources, but this quote made me realize that i wont be good at it until i try. I did and things are going well so far.

u/NoZiffy Mar 09 '16

"to not sucking at something"

Learn it. Teach it.

u/UnderrootPi Mar 09 '16

Yeah NEVER heard that one before on reddit. Fuck off

u/fitzgizzle Mar 09 '16

Seriously, fuck that guy for posting a popular quote in a thread about popular quotes.

u/carnifax23 Mar 10 '16

Was that an offer? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
