Has anyone else noticed the increasing usage of phrases like "drag ha!!!" and "spilling the truth tea" outside of ATRL? I see it all over tumblr and Facebook now and I'm wondering where people are getting it from... Is ATRL going mainstream or something? ..

I guess ATRL didn't "make up" these phrases but I've honest to God never heard anyone say anything like that in my life until recently. Even on Tumblr.

It didn't originate from a pop music forum.

Everyone uses SLAY, YAS HUNTY, THROW SHADE nowadays

yaassss! impact hunty IM-PA-CT

I said that in like the 3rd line. I'm asking why people are using it so much more lately outside of ATRL.

It's okay to not read the thread, but don't try to educate when class already got out two hours ago.

I think its hilarious ppl are using tho. Its a tru kii. My mom is always like "yaasss gaga slaayy" everytme ANYTHING happens

drag a biT

The Kermit meme is basically another way for the masses to say "spill the true tea" without actually saying it that exact way lol. Heavily implied though.

Shade, drag, yaaasss & slay are everywhere.

It's called diffusion:

One person starts with some lingo or trait and it spreads in from group to group and spreads from each group into the general population. It's how fads start.

What?

Yes this my mom was like "Nene was throwing shade though"

It's not atrl unless someone says" execute ha, photosynthesize ha, sandblast ha, microwave ha, dry roast ha, vaccum ha etc." or if someone "but not when you stan for _______"

That's awesome

what if i tell you it is?

I accidentally said "clocked the tea" at work and nearly died of embarrassment the other day.

Real people their cultural appropriation.

Yes.

I dont know where the sips tea thing is from but people need to stop using it
