I think the joke is that in the 6+ hours between messages, the ‘relationship’ fell through.
But I do recognize it’s a common trope for the other person to not view you as their person.
But I don’t know. I don’t know what the kids mean by anything these days.
Rizz - Charisma
Ohio - Cringe; embarrassing
Cap - Lying (No cap = not lying)
Skibidi - Depending on context can be ironically cool or just cringe/bad.
Fanum Tax - Taking food off someone else's plate
Bussin - Delicious/Good
Sus - Suspicious
Vibe - The feeling of a thing
Drip - Your style
Yeet - To throw
Fanum Tax gave me a chuckle – since the inception of my relationship nearly a decade ago, I’ve ‘stolen’ food, required kisses, or beckoned my now-wife over so I could touch her inappropriately whenever I’ve had to do something I didn’t want to do (regardless of whether the activity was for her, our relationship/household/whatever). To explain myself, I say “Tax!” and it’s become understood that it’s, well, not so much a tit-for-tat exchange, as it is a morale booster or a cheeky way of flirting with her.
It’s a cornerstone of our silly relationship dynamic. I’m glad the kids are catching up to my rizz.
Tit for tax? 😉
Sometimes. 😇
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what the joke is either, to be honest.
