“Hey babe, remember last week we saw that guy propose to his girl…?”
“Hey babe, remember a couple weeks ago we saw that guy proposing…”
“Baaaabe…remember last month when we watched that guy propose to his gf?”
“Hey Shane, I was just thinking about that time back in April that guy at the table next to us proposed to his woman…”
“Hey dickhead, you putting a ring on this or what?”
They dressed casual as fuck in an obviously high end dining establishment. Hurley shirt guy and his girl gonna be fine. They’re both loaded to the gills.
If she calls you a “dickhead” for not buying her a ring and proposing, she’s for the streets.
“Hey dickhead, you putting a ring on this or what?”
Goes to sex shop for a Ring
I love when proposal pictures are cropped so it looks like they’re commiting seppuku.
"OMG, what are you doing?! "
He’s outside of the blast radius. (I’m assuming this is the aftermath of the guy in the foreground ripping ass, right?)
Just what I was thinking. The OP is named Toots, after all.
“His girl gone talk”
Jfc… is this how people speak these days ?
Zero copula is a common but not obligatory part of African American English grammar that can occur just about any time you could contract “is” or “are” to " 's" or " 're" in Standardized/General American English:
Regarding “gone”: In casual speech, the kind most people use everyday when talking to one another, vowels become more centralized and consonants are removed or articulated as flaps or taps or otherwise assimilated to better accommodate faster speech. This has been studied in English, Dutch, and German at least. Some examples are “going to” -> “gonna” and “I don’t know” -> “I dunno”, which have transcended phonology into our orthography. I’m not sure what process explains the “gone” variant, which is just “gonna” without the schwa at the end, but it’s also a feature of African American English.
Yeah, it’s a written representation of a verbal phrase. I would’ve written gon’ with an apostrophe for marking that it’s a shortened version of the word “gonna” but it’s like spelling out the more phonetically accurate form of an abbreviated or contracted word, like “fridge” instead of “frig” or “Mike”/“Tom”/“Joe” as shortened versions of “Michael”/“Thomas”/“Joseph.”
Oh noo people writing in dialect… i konns nimmie uesholte. Bringts mi ums eck
Yeah god forbid we have dialects. Get off your pedestal.
Wait 'til you hear that you’re “supposed to” pronounce the H in “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “why,” and “which.”
Yeah I hate it. I know most of them probably don’t mean it to be, but it comes off as racist to me every time.
Straight and boomer humor? On my lemmy?
some people here are in their 40s
Representation matters.
l always love how the 2 in the back are in super casual clothes, but the 2 in front are all formal.
Looks like the restaurant in the Space Needle (Seattle). Casual clothes in fine dining is common here.
Only two of them were there to get engaged.
Bro is making eye contact with the camera lol
He’s a real one.
He’ll be fine. He’s got a good thing going in Videlectrix.
Oh, I was gonna say he looked like The Primeagen but this guy has the hair for sure.
Bad day for a breakup
I don’t often eat from elevated positions with scenic views, so it isn’t surprising to see a proposal happen.
I hope he can find solace in the fact that he looks like Andy Samberg with a mustache
