If you’ve enjoyed the Downfall Meme videos like the ones about the Xbox, the Hillary Campaign, and the World of Warcraft, then you probably speak English. For German speaking viewers, the joke is a bit lost. Well, this variation explains why these videos are so funny to all you German speaking people. (caution, some subtitles use adult language)
TP texts: text messages, emails, tweets, and Facebook updates sent from your iPhone while you’re on the pot in the bathroom.
Example 1:
“Quit TP texting and get out of the bathroom! I need to get ready for work!”
Example 2:
“Ugh. Dude. Did you just TP text that tweet? That’s nasty. I gotta go decontaminate my keyboard. Does Norton Antivirus catch staphylococcus and rotavirus?”
Example 3:
“If my girl ever finds out our sexy texting is actually TP texting, I’m a dead man.”
Example 4:
“TP texting is plain wrong. For the same reason you don’t touch the magazines in someone else’s bathroom. It might be perfectly clean, but I don’t know that. Plus I can’t ever wash away the mental image of you thumbing one-handed. *shudder*.”
I work at an interactive advertising agency, and we recently relaunched our website. Part of the site included what we called “inspirational images.” One such image was of the Large Hadron Collider.
A day before the launch, Dave found a typo where the “r” and the “d” were transposed in the word “Hadron.” And there was much giggling.
I was IM’ing with a subcontractor in India (insert your howls of derision here), and she was telling me she’s reading a book about JRD Tata. He’s the Indian version of Rockefeller, only he’s known as being very honest and ethical.
