Unrelated to the actual topic, but is anyone else starting to find this "my brother in Christ" meme really irritating? I ain't your brother, and I don't give a fuck about your Christ.

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 14 points 6 months ago

Nah I love it. That's the bit, using it so nonchalantly sort of diminishes the expression. I don't think anyone using the meme gives a fuck about a Christ either

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yes!!!! It was funny the first time I read it in 2019, kind of. Since then it's not been slightly funny but has gotten pretty irritating to me.

Would you prefer they go back to using the n-word instead?

Edit: maybe the downvote was because you don't know:

From https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-brother-in-christ :

My Brother in Christ is a recaption meme trend using "my brother in Christ" as a slang term put on top of words, most often replacing the N-word, in other meme captions to enhance the original meaning by adding a flair of polite Christianity for humorous effect.

Edit: fixed link.

Without context this is extremely funny though

"I don't like this expression"

"OH YEAH? Then I'm gonna go back to using the N-word"

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I didn't say I was gonna do it! I don't use either expression.

Colon is breaking your link, btw. Thanks for sharing, though, that was interesting.

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Huh, today I learned. Thanks grue.

Go away, batin'!

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

It's just a phrase. Like "how are you" as a greeting. Nobody who say how are you wants to know how you are or gives a shit about any answer other than "fine thanks! how are you". Just treat MBIC the same way, maybe invent your own responses, my sister in Buddha?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 6 months ago

I don't ever use it, but I love it.

do you also get angry when people say "thank christ" or "jesus that was close"?
