I thought they meant AvE the "keep your dick in a vise" guy. I stopped watching him a long time ago when he brought politics into the shop but he did have some funny sayings.
He was a disembodied pair of hands on YouTube who said things like "tough as woodpecker lips" or "stiff as a wedding night prick" He'd take apart power tools and see how they were built. He was funny, gained a following and became an asshole grifter.
It's not just you. That's who I thought of as well. I wasn't aware of any of the in between stuff I just moved on and wondered what happened to him. Used to be a pretty active subreddit based on his channel too but reddit people got weird about the lord and savior stuff.

Given the vise, I suspect he wasn't fucking much of anything.

I'm not grateful, I already knew, you presumptuous bastard.

Oh. I thought it was an anime.

Thanks, I googled it and came up with nothing useful. Like another user I also thought it was going to be something anime related.

So much comes from AAVE, I'm expecting it to become the default American dialect in a few decades. More and more I see online creators talking in it.
The British vs American English shitposting will get a huge boost, we kinda got used to the existing differences.

I was gonna say in the UK, a lot of modern slang over here comes from MLE (Multicultural London English)
Clearly this makes up a key part of our respective shitposting R&D divisions

Aren’t there some that come from Korean (“cheugy”, IIRC, and some gamer slang)?
