Unrelated to the actual topic, but is anyone else starting to find this "my brother in Christ" meme really irritating? I ain't your brother, and I don't give a fuck about your Christ.
Nah I love it. That's the bit, using it so nonchalantly sort of diminishes the expression. I don't think anyone using the meme gives a fuck about a Christ either
Yes!!!! It was funny the first time I read it in 2019, kind of. Since then it's not been slightly funny but has gotten pretty irritating to me.
Would you prefer they go back to using the n-word instead?
Edit: maybe the downvote was because you don't know:
From https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-brother-in-christ :
Edit: fixed link.
Without context this is extremely funny though
"I don't like this expression"
"OH YEAH? Then I'm gonna go back to using the N-word"
I didn't say I was gonna do it! I don't use either expression.
Colon is breaking your link, btw. Thanks for sharing, though, that was interesting.
Huh, today I learned. Thanks grue.
Go away, batin'!
It's just a phrase. Like "how are you" as a greeting. Nobody who say how are you wants to know how you are or gives a shit about any answer other than "fine thanks! how are you". Just treat MBIC the same way, maybe invent your own responses, my sister in Buddha?
I don't ever use it, but I love it.
do you also get angry when people say "thank christ" or "jesus that was close"?
