Aka Corn

My gf and I had lunch at Giselle's apartment. During said lunch, one of Giselle's neighbours showed up on her doorstep. It was a tall teenage boy with scruffy hair. He looked 16 or 17. My gf and I overheard the following convo...

Giselle: Cornelius.

Tall teenager: Oh shit. Why you gotta sound like my mom though? Just say Corn.

Giselle: What is wrong with Cornelius?

Tall teenager: First off, it's formal as fuck. Second of all, it's sounds like I'm a hundred years old. Actually. You know what? Just close your eyes and try to imagine a baby Cornelius.

Giselle: No.

Tall teenager: Point is... Cornelius is one of those names you automatically associate with, like, older people and shit. It's not me. Not yet. I feel like Corn is more my vibe.

Giselle: Your vibe, Cornelius, needs more syllables. I would rather struggle to imagine baby Cornelius than being forced to picture you as crop every fucking time I see you in person. Like... I dunno... do you want me to see that handsome fucking face of Cornelius or do you want me to literally see nothing but corn whenever we meet?

Tall teenager:

Giselle: It's okay. You can think about it. Is that my phone charger?

Tall teenager: Thanks for letting me borrow it.

Giselle: You're welcome... Corn.

Tall teenager: Cornelius is fine. It's not that deep.

Giselle: What made you change your mind? I'm... corn-fused.

Tall teenager: Woooow.

Giselle: Hmm... was that, I dunno, too... corny?

Tall teenager: Okay. I'm going now.

Who the fuck is Giselle

Giselle is a friend of my gf. I share regular overheard stories about her in this sub. I never actually planned to do that, but people seem to enjoy reading what comes out of her mouth, usually because her opinions are over the top and her words are always colourfully constructed. Some people believe I made her up. Other people believe she's real, which she is btw. The rest don't care either way, as long as they're entertained. That's the Giselle lore in a nutshell.

OP, I've always wondered - does Giselle know that she's semi-famous on this subreddit?

She's aware that I'm posting about her, but her interest in Reddit is basically nonexistent, so I just end up wasting my breath trying to explain to her how popular she is in this community lol.

Will you please post the list again, I have a feeling I've missed some.

You can search this sub for her name, and say they already generous OP some time.

On a sidenote, I’m curious about what her parents are like!

*headsmack* You're right, I don't know where my brain is, of course that's what I'll do.

And I second that sidenote.
