This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Holy shit, just looked that up, and it has layers to it. Based on the rest of their comments in the thread, I'm sure it wasn't intentional, they probably had no idea of the origins and meanings (I certainly didn't), but man is that one problematic.
