  I don’t fully get it either. It’s either the browser Edge or edging yourself for hours on end. Lol

    I was wondering where the weird w-like symbol formed by the brownie pan means something.

      It’s because people like edge pieces of brownies, so this pan ensures that every piece has an edge.

      Edging is not a new thing, really. You’ve probably just never encountered the concept. Edging is the practice of bringing yourself to the edge of orgasm before backing away. The idea is that when you do finally orgasm it’s been “built up to” by the earlier edging so you get a better climax.

      That’s okay, at a certain age it becomes irrelevant information anyway.

  Edging, look it up on urban dictionary.

    I’m familiar with edging, but I’m not sure I see the joke. That might be because “edge” feels somewhat semantically separate to “edging” in my mind. As a clearer example of what I mean, if the word “edgy” came up, I would be way more likely to think of it as describing someone or something that tries too hard to be dark and provocative. I’d be very confused if someone used “edgy” as an adjectivified form of “edging”.

    Besides that though, I’m sure that edging was a thing 15 years ago; the Wikipedia article for “edging(sexual practice)” dates back to 2006, for one. Part of why I didn’t get the joke is because I can’t think of any logical link between edging and 15 years ago, so I think I concluded that the meme wasn’t about the sex thing.

    Is there still something I’m missing, or am I just being supremely autistic about this?

      If I say I had a good edge, it’s like saying I had a good wank. Look at the image and replace all instances of edge with wank
