i have never heard the term “washed” to mean “old”
Welcome to the ranch.
Did you know there are people finishing their Master’s degrees this year who weren’t alive for September 11th?
Will I be fed and cared for on this ranch or is it more like a concentration camp thing?
Yes, cared for… fed… fattened…
Washed?
What does washed mean?
Past tense of wash: to clean with soap and water
We got another one !!!
Wut
“Washed” means to be played out, over the hill, past it. Uncool, no longer trendy, not part of the younger generation who are “with” it.
Not understanding the term “washed” therefore serves as proof that you are, in fact, washed.
“I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!”
Would you rather be washed or stinky?
(obviously stinky)
Why does anybody like this or think it’s funny. This is crap.
It’s because I am a human capable of feeling emotions and joy.
Don’t forget zero concept of humor.
Washed police? This one right here.
The irony of the Twitter handle at the bottom.
Can’t be washed if I was never… whatever the opposite of washed is (don’t say unwashed, that’s just wrong)
dont even try to escape.
The doors open. You can leave any time you like. Nobody’s ever tried. Constantly being on the lookout incase youre exposed as “not with it” and paying attention to up to the minute trends is fucking tiring. The moment youre out of the game you wonder why you ever bothered playing it
If your are lucky you will get washed up eventually. Otherwise you will be dead.
So they literally just removed “up” from “washed up”? Come on, get creative.
Rizz is also just short for Charisma
Language, like everything, is cyclic
Compared to “6, 7” it’s creative enough
That always makes me think of Day-O (Banana Boat Song) and the scene in Beetlejuice, I’m definitely washed.
Six foot! Seven foot! Eight foot bunch! Daylight come and me wan go home.
Having not heard “washed” before automatically makes me washed. Not that I haven’t already been there for a long time.
Haven’t heard it either but I’m not a nstive speaker.
I spent 7 hours in a car with a 22 year old and didn’t hear this once, so I am not sure it’s a thing.
People have been using it since at least 2020.
Does it just mean like old/out of touch?
Yes, its a shortening of washed up.
Fleetwood Mac came on the other day and I was thinking “Rumours is a pretty good album.” Teenage me thinks I’m a dweeb.
Is that the cuck album.
It’s regularly hailed as one of the best recorded albums of all time, so I think it’s okay.
I burnt Rumours to a cd for my niece a couple years ago when she got her first car. She thinks it’s a good album. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
TIL based is washed (always has been).
Dude we live out of time nowadays. The mono culture is dead. You can listen to any music at any time. You can listen to modern music, then 19th century marches, then older modern stuff like JayZ, and just yesterday discovered “year of the cat” from like 50 years ago and it slaps. We are all closer for it, humanity ho!
I love 19th and 20th century political music :3
Damn right, if Souza marches don’t get your juices flowing…
Captain Holt, is that you?
The monoculture never existed. At least it wasn’t universal across the world. It differed in every society.
You’re right but you’re ignoring everything the other person said. Go back 25+ years and there was a mono-pop-culture. You’d go to work after the latest episode of Twin Peaks and just discussed it. Those conversations weren’t preface with “Spoiler warning.” Either you saw it or yo didn’t. It was a cultural touch stone that most people would at the very least know of, but probably was as engaged with as you were.
Sure, Japanese people weren’t watching the same thing as Americans, or South Afrikans and The Brits weren’t consuming the same things. It was still a lot more homogeneous culture back then. Not saying now is better than then or anything, just that it was very different.
It was still a lot more homogeneous culture back then.
I agree with a lot of what you say, but this particular statement is questionable. Definitely you can say there’s a big-budget mainstream entertainment industry, but even in the early 1900s there were movies, records, and sporting events aimed at various non-white populations - a lot of them weren’t preserved, unfortunately. Then there have always been people who ignored “worldly” entertainment for religious reasons, or who stayed more in tune with the culture of “the old country.” There’s always been an underground (often risque) and alternative/experimental. And there’s also been people who follow “high art” vs “popular art.”
I don’t mean to sound nitpicky, I’m just trying to emphasize that there’s always been a lot of stuff of all kinds out there.
25 years ago I was not yet born 😅
Seems like you’re more qualified to speak about the NONoculture from those days
