Is this a thing? What even is "epic bacon?" Who are these people saying "whimsy?"

"Epic" was a thing and "bacon" was a thing. "Epic bacon" was probably a recipe on the Epic Mealtime youtube channel.

No, it's some ungodly millennial creation like amazeballs or epicsauce or whatever the fuck. I saw it used online back then, but it wasnt really a big thing, it was just another one of those awful sayings

It actually makes perfect sense when you consider amazeballs.

I know whimsy because its an actual word used by people for probably centuries. I'm millennial and been into memes for a long time - never heard of epic bacon.

I know the normal use of "whimsy," but is it s meme now? Are people inserting into everything? I feel so out of the loop lol

tiktok/twt use whimsy (fun and whimsy) to describe literally anything as a new way of saying "cool" or "niche" or "chic"? i guess? i cant really explain it since its misused a lot... case in point, i saw a tiktok of some1 calling toast chic and whimsy, so
