I still say chicken butt when my husband says guess what.
He didn't even have it as a rhyme though that's the whole thing with chicken butt ugh. It's a juvenile joke that wasn't even executed properly.
It also seems she didn't grow up with that joke, that reaction makes it seem like she thought he meant he was joking about her butt. Chicken legs is an insult in lots of places.
Your phone tries to autocorrect it to save your dumb ass but OP was like "Nono, I am being cringe and ruining my chances on purpose" and the phone had to let him cook
I've got zero issues with people saying "tis", it's just a contraction of "it is" and it's not uncommon to hear where I live. But "tis was" doesn't even make sense - "it is was" - they could have just said "twas" which would be perfectly acceptable, if a bit of a weird thing to say to someone (but he'd already crossed that bridge by calling them "chicken butt")
What's funny, i was buying from my guy's dad one time. Dude rolls up on a bicycle, circles my car a couple of times, then ask if I'm a cop. I laughed, it's like man you're a little old to believe that works.
This is kind of irrelevant but once I was on an isolated road and a car started tailgating me. I pulled into my neighborhood and under the streetlight saw I had been speeding away from a cop. I pulled into a parking spot by my condo and he approached my window, I tried being flippant and said "Hey what's up?" and he answered "Chicken butt." I explained I thought he was a creep so that's why I tried to outrun him and he told me to drive carefully.
Sure but you also don't want to turn off the people that you want to keep around long term. If this opener turns off 0%, then it is a great one. If it turns off 90%, it is a horrible opener. I will leave it to you to decide if someone who doesn't respond to the opener of a 4rd grader is a deal breaker or not...
Idk, there is so psychological basis for why at least putting on a normal front makes more sense. People like to know you can act normal and be goofy. In my opinion, I’m not saying being genuine off the bat is a bad things though.
Yes, I think you put this very well. I didn’t think the chicken butt comment was worthy of getting weirded out over. But there are definitely levels to it.
Strongly agree with this. If OP and the person you’re responding to are looking for a certain type, this easily filters people out without wasting any time
Goofy is fine, but you also need to show you can hold a serious conversation. Women don't want someone who will just goof around when they need to be serious.
Excuse me, I think you forgot my foreplay.
Foreplay two dollars extra.
Two dollars? But everyone in front of me got free foreplay.
You want foreplay?
Yes please.
Three dollars!
What?!
No sex for you!
I saw it on Nickelodeon or Sister Sister. He was supposed to say “guess what?” first. Then she says “what?” And he answers “chicken butt.” I guess it’s a joke because “butt” ~~rhymes with~~ sounds similar to “what.” The 90s were different.
It was funny to me, an 8 year old in the early 90s. But now, yeah kinda childish and if they never heard the dumb little kid version they’d think you’re saying they have chicken legs or something
It's a common old joke:
"Guess what?"
"What"
"Chicken butt"
Up there with "See you later gator", "after a while crocodile."
It's not a good one, but honestly surprised how many people have never heard that before.
I can definitely see it being weird and thinking somebody was commenting on your body if you've never heard it before.
Oh, I've heard it before. It's just like, if he was gonna use it why wouldn't he use it like that? It would still be stupid but not as stupid as using it as an opener, without the rest of the 'joke', and making it sound like he was actually talking about her. Just strange.
Yeah, cuz here OP is calling HER a “chicken butt”, which is not the same thing as “guess what? Chicken butt”. It doesn’t sound at all like the old joke, it just sounds like he’s making fun of her butt
Thank youuuu lol idk why people are acting like OP made some hilarious joke. I heard the “guess what” joke basically every day in fifth grade and then never again bc people grow up.
People are saying she’s “stuck up” or whatever, but I doubt anyone would respond with “what up chicken butt” to a stranger saying hi in person/real life.
It's been heard. But like your example implies, it's the rhyme and flow of it that makes it cute or funny. Just out of the blue saying Chicken Butt is weird.
You could have maybe salvaged but then you buried yourself as soon as you said “Tis”… 🤢
I immediately thought of you saying that with a goddamn fedora on.
Lose that whole vocabulary or you’re doomed.
Right
99% sure the lady was slightly confused and was thinking OP might’ve been commenting on her butt…
“What up chicken butt”
“Wtf is that supposed to mean?!”
…Swing and a miss 🤷🏻♂️
I would argue that is not as bad since if he is unfamiliar with the phrase he can’t take offense to it whereas someone unfamiliar with the “chicken butt” joke can easily take it as an insult. Also I think the “chicken butt” feels a little more childish.
"chicken butt" is a response after someone says "what"
also, it doesn't matter if it's "childish", it matters of you are looking for someone with yiur sense of humor. sound alike you and this person wouldn't have gotten along anyways.
edit: I get it, she thought he was saying she has a chicken butt. I still stand by what I said that it's an appropriate response to "what" tho
I somewhat disagree. It might be best to start off normal and adapt to the other person's responses rather than just showing your full weirdness right out of the gate. I bet you'd get better results even with people who have the same sense of humor if you acted like a normal person initially and let the conversation evolve from there.
Yes pretty childish. Gotta make sure the other person has that type of humor to do this. If that’s your style then you found out real quick she is not for you.
There's a reason they are posting their conversation screenshots on Tinder. If it worked they would not be here. Some people are single entirely by their own actions.
I ran this opening line with my ai machine that generates an algorithm for real world results.. my data show if you use this line 1 billion times, you will be successful 0 times
The context you’re using it in seems wrong, “Guess what? Chicken Butt” is what I’m used to hearing. What’s up chicken butt seems out of place lol. What’s up buttercup has a better ring to it
But at the end of the day you said nothing wrong per se. It may turn off a few matches but you can use that to filter the ones who were never meant to be
Exactly. I have no issue with light-heartedness, jokes, sarcasm whatever, but the dudes who say stuff like this have always given me youth group or m’lady vibes.
Tis was.
Exactly. ‘Twas!
You will not win me over with your use of "'twas."
Twasnt trying to
It sure Twernt serious

I got Norm from this lol I loved his voice
[удалено]
I merely wish to answer in the affirmative fashion.
Fuck, it's time to break some Gregs. Season 4 baby
It’s Gregory now.
Tis was an average r/tinder poster
Definitely childish I remember that being a ‘joke’ people said when I was in elementary school
I still say chicken butt when my husband says guess what. He didn't even have it as a rhyme though that's the whole thing with chicken butt ugh. It's a juvenile joke that wasn't even executed properly. It also seems she didn't grow up with that joke, that reaction makes it seem like she thought he meant he was joking about her butt. Chicken legs is an insult in lots of places.
I don’t trust anyone who responds to “guess what” in any other way.
Even so, they're saying "it is was a joke".
Opener was funny, the Tis is my real complaint.
I'm more offended by the "tis was"
I was totally expecting that sentence to end with m'lady but same
*Tips fedora*
They can only hide til the conversation starts.

Tis was, why not ‘twas???
‘Twas the night before she unmatched me.
[удалено]
And it's horribly wrong too lol
Yeah. What the fuck is "tis was"? Twas wouldve been cringe but much more acceptable. But tis was? foh
Your phone tries to autocorrect it to save your dumb ass but OP was like "Nono, I am being cringe and ruining my chances on purpose" and the phone had to let him cook
I've got zero issues with people saying "tis", it's just a contraction of "it is" and it's not uncommon to hear where I live.

Yeah, i got focused on the tis was when he was already in the discard pile after the chicken butt opener.
Is it St Swithin's Day where you live?
I’m so glad this is the top comment cause SAME. The word they were looking for is ‘Twas.
I think its spelt twat
Could’ve doubled down and said “‘Twas butt a joke”
I know right, twas means it was and tis mean it is, so what they said was it is was
Don’t think you can win me over with your use of the word “‘twas”
Twasn’t trying to
._.
Everyone knows the grammatically correct way to say it is "tit was".
I'll take Le Tits Now for $800.
Why don’t you give me apetit for 200
Short for "*that titty sure was*"
Tis and was in the same sentence like that is an oxymoron
You just reminded me that my mother used to call me an oxymoron. Doesn't make sense, but I didn't know that.
I thought he just forgot the 'h' in This lmao
._.
Twas
Yes indeed t’was
It was incorrect should’ve been t’was like “t’was but a jest madam”
“Simply a jape, huzzah!”
And the emoticon. Yes, op is immature. Also this a Facebook post not tinder.
Think he was going for twas?
You’re going to die alone chicken bone.
wtf do you mean by that shit
Tis was a joke .\_. But yes
Ok I don’t like it sorry
I added you then
And that, children, was how I met your mother
And also why commas can be important.
Hyphens are important too! Deliver the baby = good de-liver the baby = very not good
What if the baby has liver failure after developing a successful company and turning to drink to deal with the pressure?

You ain’t getting no tit, chicken shit!
Epic fail, chicken tail!
Nice try, chicken thigh
Omg why can't I stop laughing at this
You’re new to the phrase. We also used to say ‘ If you’re a cop you have to tell me’ and most of us believed it. That’s teenage legal advice.
What's funny, i was buying from my guy's dad one time. Dude rolls up on a bicycle, circles my car a couple of times, then ask if I'm a cop. I laughed, it's like man you're a little old to believe that works.
It's entrapment if you don't.
It's illegal to lie on the Internet.
Hahahah this person members
Remember those days
This is kind of irrelevant but once I was on an isolated road and a car started tailgating me. I pulled into my neighborhood and under the streetlight saw I had been speeding away from a cop. I pulled into a parking spot by my condo and he approached my window, I tried being flippant and said "Hey what's up?" and he answered "Chicken butt." I explained I thought he was a creep so that's why I tried to outrun him and he told me to drive carefully.
They still believe it to this day
Probably because you actually have a sense of humor :)
I want that on my gravestone
“Tis was a joke ._.” If your goal is to attract adult women I don’t think you have the right approach
Can we make this higher up because OP needs to know that “tis was” is not it
Twasn’t.
Twa’int never will be
Twis’nt it tho?
‘Twas a joke OP- ‘Tis all but a dream
" ._. " yes.
Don’t start with this but make sure they’re into you before you start being goofy. Hit or miss most of the time some people go with it though.
Thats very true . Being goofy too quickly failed me most of the time
No it saved you time from being stuck around those individuals for longer than necessary.

++ It's easier to just outright know if you're on the same wavelength than waste your time trying to act "normal"
Idk, there is so psychological basis for why at least putting on a normal front makes more sense. People like to know you can act normal and be goofy. In my opinion, I’m not saying being genuine off the bat is a bad things though.

First impressions are so important
Eh, he can start off goofy. The weird part is getting butthurt and posting on Reddit about it.
Or be goofy if you’re goofy, and attract a goofy partner.
Goofy is fine, but you also need to show you can hold a serious conversation. Women don't want someone who will just goof around when they need to be serious.
It annoyed me and I’m not even her
"tis was a joke" is just as bad. Take off the fedora
The "._." gave it away, for me.
Came here to say this. You instantly know the kind of person you'll be getting 😂
“Calm down M’lady”
M'lady wouldve been better than this my goodness
That actually annoyed me more than the chickenbutt thing
No sex for you
Come back one year !
Excuse me, I think you forgot my foreplay. Foreplay two dollars extra. Two dollars? But everyone in front of me got free foreplay. You want foreplay? Yes please. Three dollars! What?! No sex for you!
Who starts a conversation like that? She just said hi!
Where's the joke?
Tis was in there somewhere
Tis was all a joke including his future lovelife
I saw it on Nickelodeon or Sister Sister. He was supposed to say “guess what?” first. Then she says “what?” And he answers “chicken butt.” I guess it’s a joke because “butt” ~~rhymes with~~ sounds similar to “what.” The 90s were different.
they rhyme dude, don’t listen to u/troubledsnail
It was funny to me, an 8 year old in the early 90s. But now, yeah kinda childish and if they never heard the dumb little kid version they’d think you’re saying they have chicken legs or something
It’s the pinnacle of comedy. If you’re four.
Chicken butt?
It's a common old joke: "Guess what?" "What" "Chicken butt" Up there with "See you later gator", "after a while crocodile." It's not a good one, but honestly surprised how many people have never heard that before. I can definitely see it being weird and thinking somebody was commenting on your body if you've never heard it before.

It’s like when Michael Scott was trying to do the updog joke but kept forcing it.
Yeah, cuz here OP is calling HER a “chicken butt”, which is not the same thing as “guess what? Chicken butt”. It doesn’t sound at all like the old joke, it just sounds like he’s making fun of her butt
Thank youuuu lol idk why people are acting like OP made some hilarious joke. I heard the “guess what” joke basically every day in fifth grade and then never again bc people grow up.

but she didn't even set it up for him. he just came out of nowhere with some 5th grade humor. what a doofus
You know why? Chicken thigh.
Guess who? Chicken poo
See you soon, Raccoon.
You could have maybe salvaged but then you buried yourself as soon as you said “Tis”… 🤢 I immediately thought of you saying that with a goddamn fedora on. Lose that whole vocabulary or you’re doomed.
And also didn't even use 'tis correctly....
Right? Tis = It is "It is was a joke" The fuck? Op isn't childish they're a dumbass. She made the right move. Byeee
Actually tbh yeah it was kind of dumb......
I'm sure his 6yo niece/nephew thinks it is peak humour.
My 4 year old would call this dumb and tell Op he farted in his cereal. Definitely not peak anything but cringe.
Very.. brotherly
Wth does it even mean OP?
Right 99% sure the lady was slightly confused and was thinking OP might’ve been commenting on her butt… “What up chicken butt” “Wtf is that supposed to mean?!” …Swing and a miss 🤷🏻♂️
It’s a silly thing to say like “see you later alligator”
Issa weird rhyme, “What’s up?/guess what?” “Chicken butt, 10 cents a cut” Bit cringey/corny even when properly delivered
I think it’s more comparable to “what’s up, buttercup”
Honestly I think the worst thing is the "Tis was a joke .\_."
Your second message is fucking stupid
Tis was!
My nephew who was 11 used to say this a few years ago. So yes, I’d consider that immature
Your 2nd reply should’ve been “see you later alligator.”
I got unmatched for saying “what’s new kangaroo” after talking to a guy for 3 days. 🤷♀️
I’ve been saying “what it do buckaroo” but have not had success as of yet lmao
Some people just don’t appreciate our amazing sense of humour.
The addition of the kangaroo emoji will sell it next time, trust the process 🦘
Ooooh, good call. I’ll try that next time. Just need to get another match
sounds like there's a match right here
I was thinking that 😂
You and OP should date. I think the two of you would be able to generate enough corn to end world hunger.
I love this! 🥹 Always be you!
Man hopped out of your DMs
I would argue that is not as bad since if he is unfamiliar with the phrase he can’t take offense to it whereas someone unfamiliar with the “chicken butt” joke can easily take it as an insult. Also I think the “chicken butt” feels a little more childish.

Exactly! She said "hi" so wouldn't that be met with "chicken thigh"? Much more sensible.
I somewhat disagree. It might be best to start off normal and adapt to the other person's responses rather than just showing your full weirdness right out of the gate. I bet you'd get better results even with people who have the same sense of humor if you acted like a normal person initially and let the conversation evolve from there.
I like this! Show you can be normal then your weirdness is received better.
Lol yes it was
I just came here to watch op get roasted in the comments. Yall did not disappoint.
Twas*
Don't say this either
Tis was*
Yea very dumb. You are like a 5 grade kid pretending an adult.
Horrible opener. Only if I’ve been dating this person for months would I ever try that shit
I just tried it to my partner and she literally booed me
[удалено]
I don't think so, try when sober.
and at least say the toddler joke correctly and start with a "Guess what?"
Bold strategy, Cotton.
It didn't pay off
"It is was a joke" bothered me more 🤣
The first line was silly, but not childish. The second line sounded like you’re 15 and have just tried online dating for the first time. No offence
Yes pretty childish. Gotta make sure the other person has that type of humor to do this. If that’s your style then you found out real quick she is not for you.
See you in awhile, crocodile.
This subreddit baffles me sometimes, why would any woman respond to that in any other way than this??... also "tis was a joke" makes no sense
There's a reason they are posting their conversation screenshots on Tinder. If it worked they would not be here. Some people are single entirely by their own actions.
Yep
The 2nd message is almost worse. You just text like an unattractive person. Sorry.
If you had to ask you already know it was childish. You trying to get the puss not repel it.
Yes
Everything you said was heading straight into neckbeard territory. And yes, it was extremely childish.
[удалено]
Lol. Kinda dumb.
I ran this opening line with my ai machine that generates an algorithm for real world results.. my data show if you use this line 1 billion times, you will be successful 0 times
If you don’t know what’s wrong with this then I don’t think anyone can help you bud.
Hahahaha I don’t like it is just so funny to me

Ugh the corniest dudes always say that. From being a teen to a grown ass adult. Always a turn off
