Shoot or kayfabe?

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 16 points 2 months ago

I have no idea what this means

There are some times when i believe i'm only as old as i feel. And there are other times when i realize i'm actually just Abe Simpson with an onion still on my belt yelling at clouds.

It's pro-wrestling terminology, not new lingo. Keep that onion on your belt, old timer.

Shoot means its real kayfabe (or work) means its fake.

See my above reply if you are actually curious

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This definitely feels kayfabe with some shoot undertones

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

You keep using that word, and [I'm] not sure [I] what it means!

Kayfabe means scripted or in character, or 'fake' as people like to say. Shoot means off script, or it is real. Shoot fight means the guys in the ring actually started throwing blows. Shoot interview would be a wrestler speaking their mind off script and out of character
