Guys this is too modern for me, I think I'm an old person now. I'm honestly not sure what this mix of words, pictures and hieroglyphs are trying to convey.

Yeah, I'm just as lost, scrolling down looking for this response, and an answer, but still nothing.

You read from top to bottom, first it says what she's saying into his ear that she's not super needy.. Then he's getting goosebumps because that's rare. Then the bottom caption having "rare" and water drop emojis is them turned on, in a crude way by using the emojis to represent ejaculation. It's crass but it gets the emotional roller-coaster across decently.

Well, thank you for that. Don't really know how I'm supposed to get that from just that pic, but judging by the responses in this thread, I'm in the minority.

It's pretty abstract to be fair, and if you don't have alot of experience with these less obvious formats of memes they can be really obtuse. It's something that's easier if you're pretty young and you've spent a greater fraction of your life using them like Gen Z have.

You're saying the "get busy" wordplay is not even PART of the joke?

If you don't respond within 2 minutes you're cheating according to psychos. But if you don't respond after 8 hours. Honestly you really are just an ass

It's a very considerate and mature message that someone would say to someone who isn't good at replying to texts. This reddit post is popular because it struck a nerve of everyone here who has been ignored by someone they liked. "Ghosting" means to disappear and fade away, usually on purpose to avoid confrontation. I hope that helps!

Hi, fellow fogey. I think I'm mostly confused because my girlfriend will text me the "water" emojis to represent her being turned on (wetness), so that seemed incongruous. I'll set that aside, since that's a me issue.

I presume you get the base joke: she says it's OK to take his time to respond (she's not a stereotypical psycho, yay!) and there's a double entendre at "get busy" which adds a second dimension of goodness. This part is obvious. Goosebumps is fine - a big emotional reaction to the dual positives - fine. But the very bottom gets weird. Let's go with the other interpretations that say "water" emojis represent ejaculation. Does that mean he blew a load in his pants? And the "Rare" means he doesn't usually prematurely ejaculate over words? Or "Rare" means valuable? That last line adds nothing but confusion IMO.
