I'm a millennial and dibs has been around at least since I was a kid.
I still don't get the joke. Why would a nurse call dibs on someone else's infant son?
my guess is the foreskin snip
That's the joke. A nurse calling dibs on someone else's son.
These early SMBCs are rough
I don't know if Gen Z still uses it, but it's a common thing in Gen X. "Dibs" is what you say to claim things for yourself , e.g., "I've got dibs on the last piece of pizza".
Oh, I'm a millennial and that's a new one for me. That said I'm not from an English speaking country
I don't think there was much gen-Z vocabulary yet in 2005
Very few gen z could even read in 2005.
What a bonkers fact.
