Those handclap emojis trigger the fuck out of me.
👏 Don’t 👏 let 👏 that 👏 detract 👏 from 👏 the 👏 message.
Off topic but I read it as handicap emoji . I'm a boomer and use emoji and acronyms infrequently.
I read it that way too. Our brains tend to guess the word and fill in the blanks based off of the first and last character of a word. I'm sure the length helped in this case too lol
Same. Handicap is a far more common word than handclap, so it was a good guess!
The word boomer should be cancelled
OK, boomer
Don't think I am one. Born very early 80s.
OK, millennial
Think I'm GenX
It's been around since 1963, good luck with that. It will fade into obscurity once the last of the boomers are gone.
They make me think of that Stefon character from SNL.
That's kind of the point. It's supposed to be attention grabbing, drawing attention to a point that is supposed to be implicitly agreed upon by everyone, except people don't agree with it because too many people are chasing clout or wealth.
