So that’s how it happens. I thought I was getting old when I had to look up ‘based’ on urban dictionary.
I’m curious, how recently did you have to look it up? For me it feels ancient compared to the likes of “rizz” but that’s probably due to the circles I’ve been in.
Oh no i didn’t know what rizz meant. I had to look it up mid this year. Gg life, im now going downhill for sure :(
Wtf is rizz?
He got rizz = he’s got game (?)
If that helps. I’ve read here recently it’s short for “charisma”
Is it really pronounced “dub”? I’ve never heard it spoken.
I internally say massive win but I do hear youtubers call it massive double u
Ironic that pronouncing a single letter is more cumbersome than the full word.
u v DOUBLE U x y z
“Every single other letter is one syllable, can we just pronounce this one ‘wuh’”?
“No, it must have THREE!”
English is indeed a funny language.
Germans: “Ridiculous! We will pronounce it like ‘vay’”.
“Well, that’s a lot…”
“…AND ‘Y’ WILL BE ‘OOPSILON’”!
ಠ_ಠ
TIL!
Every single other letter
Noooo, you forgot “and z” has two /s
I call it zed or zee both have one syllable ri8?
Not exclusively, but sometimes.
Duh-b
Yeah, unless it was a really important win, then you might say it out entirely to emphasize your utter dominance over them.
Honestly don’t think it’s universal, but most of the time, yeah.
This post is the first time that I realized reply lines were in rainbow order.

If this some light mode joke I’m too dark mode to be able to read?
So this is why Golden State Warriors are called “Dubs”! Today I learned.
The nickname comes from people shortening Warriors to the letter W. The shorter form of the letter W is pronounced “Dub.” It also helps that W represents the word “win” in the world of sports, so when their fans refer to them as the Dubs, they are also referring to the team as winners.
Bright mode? [Hiss.]
I was there when it was written
Was this when all the Johns in the world assembled into a field to fight?
Hey! I’ve been invited to sports before. Some people think that me being large, tough, and angry would make me good at roller derby, unfortunately I’m also uncoordinated even when sober
