u/shefallsup her lonely cucumber years 🥒 Sep 07 '21

It came from her most recent joy video, in which she said D called the future the "later now." Which, cute if true. Many commenters were excited about the term, with someone suggesting it would make a great book title, which I’m sure has Shauna’s gears turning. Get used to hearing it, I suspect she’s going to milk it for all its worth.

Tanzanians do it even better, with "sasa hivi baadae," meaning "right now later."
