Sorry I was out but when did kirk become a verb ? I hope this is not copyrighted because it's as dark as brilliant

[–] Todd_cross@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Oh! Charlie, not Captain. This makes a lot more sense.

It took me a moment to get it. At first I thought this was a reference to captain Kirk saying Sora died like a red shirt. The I was like oh yeah there was that forgettable man named Kirk that die.

never did people pay as much attention to this guy as immediately after his death

[–] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 3 points 2 days ago

I am pretty sure the guy had some ment illness going on. I watched some videos after he died and he sounded like the guys at the group home I used to work at.

Yeah, I saw him, thought "asshole" and switched to something else.

Reading this makes me feel like I'm having a stroke

[–] oozynozh@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

this one's a little more rare but it's kind of like how "trumped up" has evolved from meaning "fraudulent" (e.g. "trumped up allegations") to also include "botched via arrogance and/or incompetence" (e.g. "Donnie really trumped up that hundred year alliance with one lazy tweet")

Please no

That human shit stain deserves to be forgotten as quickly as possible

He died the way he lived, being a human shitpost. Imagine your last words being a dog whistle "counting or not counting gang violence"

Lowkirkenuinely after kirky got kirked in the neck people started making memes about him.

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 2 points 18 hours ago

Hoo boy my ESL brain is short circuiting trying to read that first word.

[–] ramasses@social.ozymandias.club 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I also heard it as metaphor for a blowjob, kirked- shot in the neck- getting neck

[–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Hmm, never had a side of the neck blowjob
