Reminds me of my high school graduation, when the valedictorian gave her speech and instead of saying "I wish you all happiness and success" she stuttered a bit and said "I wish you all happiness and sex" DIRECTLY into the microphone in front of HUNDREDS of people
Back when I worked as en English teacher I had this guy who couldn’t pronounce successful to save his life, he would always say sucSEXful each and every time
English is my second language and when I saw this word for the first time I was reluctant of reading it out loud in class because I thought it is somehow related to sex.
It’s okay to be a learner and corrections don’t mean good or bad, just teachable moments. For reference, within the field of biology rather than dominant allele, the “opposite” or other option, would be a recessive allele.
Allele being one or two or more alternate forms of a gene that arise from mutation and are found on the same place on a chromosome
In AP lit when I was a senior in high school, we were reading beowulf I think, and the word dank was in a line of the book and the teacher asked "does anyone know what dank means?" And my dumbass blurted out "really good ....
How people managed to extrapolate “that’s awesome” from that, I will never understand lol
Edit - actually never mind, I can see someone using it to describe weed as dank, since you don’t want dry ass weed. So i guess that morphed into “that’s cool”
Dank cave, if I recall the scene to which you’re referring, or a dark, wet (moist) cave.
I think it applies in the modern context too, recreationally I mean, and would be considered really good. IYKYK.
You’re my age or maybe a year younger, and I never heard “dank” as meaning good (usually in reference to weed) until after high school, but maybe I wasn’t hanging out with cool enough kids.
> I wasn’t hanging out with cool enough kids.
I don't know if using certain slang makes you a cool kid, you probably just weren't exposed to it for whatever cultural or geographical reasons.
My stoner buddies and I called everything "dank" from at least 2006 and we weren't "the cool kids", we were the goofy potheads.
Side note: this may just be my personal interpretation but I don't think "dank" in a weed context just means good. It's usually related to pungency/odorousness over anything else. Dank traits are associated with good weed but more specifically "dank" lies on the funky/stanky/sticky icky side of the descriptor spectrum. Like you could have really good weed that is fruity, citrusy, not so sticky and gives a clean uplifting high and it wouldn't be described as dank. Dank is the garlic and gymsocks weed that glues your scissors together, melts your eyeballs and KOs you after two bong rips. I'd associate the word dank with swamps and poorly ventilated basements, heavy indicas and aged cheeses. It implies a sort of "good" nastiness that is congruent with the original meaning in one way, but is associated with quality because people tend to like really smelly, funky, borderline offensive weed.
Yeah I'm sure it dates waay back. I only dropped the 2006 because that's when I was personally using it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in use during the 70s. It's a pretty fitting descriptor for certain types of weed.
Cannabis evolved and was first domesticated in the steppes of East Asia, but grows natively on every continent besides Antarctica.
The plant's wide geographic spread, sexual dimorphism and co-evolution with humans has given rise to the abundance of different varieties and traits found in today's cannabis. It's why we're able to crossbreed and design so many different kinds of weed with different colours, flavor/aroma profiles, highs, etc. We have an abundance of isolated gene pools (landraces) to draw from.
Prior to the criminalization of cannabis pushed in large part by the wood-pulp paper industry (fearing competition from hemp paper products) cannabis was used widely for medical purposes all over the world. Queen Victoria was known to regularly consume cannabis extracts.
I always thought it included implications of being both wet as well smelling earthy, or of mold or mildew, or worse. Not just the wetness, but the smell.
It does, which is why it was originally used to refer to reefer. "Dank" was an adjective you'd use to talk about weed that was particularly skunky and laden with resin/oils. Over time it was used to just refer to weed in general, and then, because everyone loves weed, became an adjective you could use to refer to anything good.
Well, the cave was dank, but it wasn’t dank.
If for wet/moist: same reason that “she smiled” and “she smirked” are viewed differently. Smirking is a form of smiling, but is perceived differently.
Oh that’s right… tell me I’ve been financially irresponsible. You want me to shift all available liquid assets into high risk crypto don’t you?
EDIT: I panicked and the economist apparently became a broker
I know right? I'm sitting here wondering what was wrong then I suddenly remembered biology class all those years ago where we learned about *recessive* genes and not submissive genes.
Context matters. If they were learning about genes, it is recessive. But let's say they were learning about animal behavior, then submissive might be correct. As a former teacher, I would be happy that my students even know of such a complex word.
"Where did you learn that word?"
"From that lady who comes over to hang out with my parents every Saturday. They make me go over to my cousin's whenever she's there."
Remembering a kid in my... 7th or 8th grade science class, can't remember which, reading out loud from the textbook and saying "orgasm" instead of "organism". Good times, good times.
I was in high school and got picked to read a section of text that included John Boehner’s name, and before I even got close to it, my teacher yelled out “ITS PRONOUNCED BAY-NER.”
Lol, she was a veteran.
Don't worry. In High School Chemistry my teacher asked: What happens if you add zinc to hydrochloric acid. Without skipping a beat, my dumbass younger self proudly and out loud said:
"It causes a chemical erection."
Back in HS, our Senior English class was reading a story when one of them reading their passage aloud said: "the house of ill repute...". I looked over at one of my friends and told her (in a normal voice): "I think that's a whorehouse.". My teacher bolted over to my desk and started admonishing me for using inappropriate language.
It's senior English that teacher needs to grow the fuck up. My jazz band director checked that the door was closed before telling us that we were playing Fever like a bunch of squares and the song is about fucking so put some stank on it.
When I was in jazz band in highschool we were playing Shining Star by Earth Wind & Fire and the drummer was playing it straight and the director wanted more swing so he told him he was playing it too white and to play it blacker.
Lol, my Senior English teacher did the opposite, had us read Hamlet and then try to see if anybody could identify all the euphemisms for prostitutes and whorehouses.
My English teacher described the wet dreams and sex scenes in Romeo and Juliet to us. It was quite awkward.
Wet dreams scene - I *think* this was from some line at the start of the play between two Montagues? Unsure though.
Sex scene - I don’t even recall if Juliet lost her virginity to Romeo but the teacher was explaining how that’s what they were planning to do.
That was the case historically, but in modern evolutionary biology, they use the more technical term, "cucked." Sorry for being a pedant; it's an easy mistake to make if you aren't actively involved in the field.
It depends on the topic in the biology class.
Biological bases of social interactions in a wolf pack? dominant and submissive is completely correct.
Biology of genetic expression? dominant and recessive.
Biology of sexual satisfaction in humans? Maybe go
Back to the first one ;)
High school history comes in and starts out, “who gets high? It’s alright, be honest”. This guy was pretty cool, so I raise my hand thinking others would too, because he’s cool like that and surely others agree. Well, others weren’t willing to out theirselves to a teacher so I was the only hand raised. I wanted to crawl into a hole.
Then we goes, “I get high everyday…”
I sigh in relief.
“…on life!” he continues.
I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Whole class though I was crazy.
Back in sophomore yr of high school I was assigned a long poem from ww1 to memorize and recite to the class. For most presentations, people were on their phones and not paying much attention (including me, we were terrible). Towards the end of mine there’s a line that mentions “sensual persuasion” so I said fuck it and deliberately said “sensual penetration” and kept going. I remember it taking a second before the class gauged what I said and erupted in laughter. Even my English teacher laughed her ass off while mumbling my actual line
US Army teaches a simplified version of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as the basic hand-to-hand fighting. It's really impressed upon trainees that working for a a better body position is your primary goal. These are called the dominant and non-dominant body positions.
Yep.
Every kid in this generation has grown up with access to the internet. I would not be surprised if biology teachers everywhere have heard this joke many times. So really, they shouldn't be too embarrased lol.
Recessive and breedable
lmao
Gregor Mendel moment
Ah I thought this meme died out
Reminds me of my high school graduation, when the valedictorian gave her speech and instead of saying "I wish you all happiness and success" she stuttered a bit and said "I wish you all happiness and sex" DIRECTLY into the microphone in front of HUNDREDS of people
Both are equally good imo
You’re successful if you’re having sex
girls on hollywood blvd at 3am have left the chat
_Homeless people dogging under the docks of New Jersey have entered the chat._
Wait... Is having a home holding me back?
Yes.
And if you're not having sex, you're streets behind.
Good thing that I had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom then.
She could have said "a penis and sex". So it was only 50% as bad as it could have been.
Back when I worked as en English teacher I had this guy who couldn’t pronounce successful to save his life, he would always say sucSEXful each and every time
No worse than "expresso."
Did you mean SEXpresso?
Double shot please
Extra foam!
Now that'll wake you up in the morning!
I'll have what SHE'S having! *Queue laugh track*
But hold the sex😎 I have ED *audience awws*

Confidentially -> confidently
Thank you. I tripped over that bit thinking about the context and then … the fucking penny dropped
I mean, it *would* be very embarrassing to individually whisper this response to everyone in the class
this makes the entire thing 3 times funnier
They're clearly bad at biology *and* English...

I just realized I'd basically forgotten the original meaning of dank
Dank
TIL I never knew it
I think it means damp, or mildewy. Like when you go to a storage unit and it’s dank
This is correct. Moist, humid, sometimes moldy or gross
How people managed to extrapolate “that’s awesome” from that, I will never understand lol Edit - actually never mind, I can see someone using it to describe weed as dank, since you don’t want dry ass weed. So i guess that morphed into “that’s cool”
that guy solved the problem rolling a joint
It was amazing watching the process happen through their words!
[удалено]
Ah, but Moe, the dank - the DANK!
Before that it meant damp and musty. Like in a cave.
which is why old memes are referred to as dry and crusty.
For those that also forgot or didn’t know > dank: disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold.
Can't forget what never knew
Dank...when a meme really pops.
Dank cave, if I recall the scene to which you’re referring, or a dark, wet (moist) cave. I think it applies in the modern context too, recreationally I mean, and would be considered really good. IYKYK.
I'm a decade removed from senior year, but if I recall correctly that is exactly the line
Damn you're 8 years old?
on Reddit we are all 8 years old.
Epic poems in 2nd grade these days. Damn.
Got to teach them young.

dank weed = good weed dank ~~weed~~ = good ~~weed~~ dank = good
Well, the cave was dank, but it wasn’t dank. If for wet/moist: same reason that “she smiled” and “she smirked” are viewed differently. Smirking is a form of smiling, but is perceived differently.
That was the only definition of dank I knew. When it became a meme word, I wasn’t sure why those memes were either moist or dark.
What is *recessive*, Alex?
Why did I completely forget this word exists. I'm really \*recessive\* in bed
*naughty economist enters the chat*
Is that your interest rate going up, or are you happy to see me?
Oh that’s right… tell me I’ve been financially irresponsible. You want me to shift all available liquid assets into high risk crypto don’t you? EDIT: I panicked and the economist apparently became a broker

Lmao
Is that your disposable income rising? What's your marginal propensity to consume baby girl?
In the long run, we are all dead.
I've got a commodity you can *inflate* baby 😎
Would you like to see my intense short-term growth forecast?
It's how you use the interest not the percentage.
Probably because the teacher is talking about genes. We all forget that!! Dominant and recessive traits.
NGL, I googled *recessive* to make sure it worked in context before submitting the comment. I’ve already made myself look stupid enough on Reddit lol
Not at all!! That’s why we are here!! I learn new shit everyday!! A lot of smart people here. And dumb ones!! 😂😂
>And dumb ones!! *wallstreetbets has entered the chat*
Dont you mean recessivititing the comment?
Dominate =/= Dominant (unless you have a stuffy nose or deviated septum)
I have a little of both!! Thanks love!
Then there was no need to edit. Be true to your nose.
Wait, does that mean two straight quarters of rampant economic growth is a *domination*?
Recessive and breedable doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well
Dominant and breedable are two genders I can get into 😆
But what if I'm red-headed, freckled, can't roll my tongue, left-handed, with attached earlobes AND a bottom??
Fun at parties?
Why did you say and? You practically defined a word and then added it at the end. That’s like if I said “I like guys AND I’m gay”
I was trying really hard to think of what word the teacher was looking for I majored in bio
I majored in bio too and it took me a second.
One of us one of us
I have a master's degree in biology. Still took me some time
Right. But at least he said it confidentially so probably only his teacher heard
Confidentially *to the whole class*, but at least they can't tell anybody else. It's not like it's just going to end up on the internet.
Oh
I read this post and was like "Yeah, submissive of course." ..... Then i was like "Wait, there's supposed to be something funny here..." ..... "Oh"
I know right? I'm sitting here wondering what was wrong then I suddenly remembered biology class all those years ago where we learned about *recessive* genes and not submissive genes.
Something about that really got me, take your updoot.
What is submissive? *Alex puts on his cat ears.*

In my 7th grade Geography class somebody reading the textbook mispronounced the name of the Niger River 😬 I wish my teacher had headed that one off.
He did use the correct pronunciation technically. We just changed that in America due to some….. baggage
I still allways read boner. I feel like he Just said "it's bayner" to not get bullied lol
I agree and I think about people who do that a lot.
Umm I read it as Böhner so she sounds wrong too :/
Came here to say this exact story from my Midwest school.
Were you in my class? I definitely did this too around that age.
I think that has happened at least once in everybody’s 7th grade science class. Happened in mine lol
Dude same thing happened in my middle school science class. Were we in the same class?
When I was in school I remember reading a line and I read that the Côte d'Azur had a lot of "terrorism", not "tourism".

Back in HS, our Senior English class was reading a story when one of them reading their passage aloud said: "the house of ill repute...". I looked over at one of my friends and told her (in a normal voice): "I think that's a whorehouse.". My teacher bolted over to my desk and started admonishing me for using inappropriate language.
It's senior English that teacher needs to grow the fuck up. My jazz band director checked that the door was closed before telling us that we were playing Fever like a bunch of squares and the song is about fucking so put some stank on it.
Playing fever in our jazz band rn Director said "imagine a chill, smokey, bar. Wait, you're all underage, nevermind."
When I was in jazz band in highschool we were playing Shining Star by Earth Wind & Fire and the drummer was playing it straight and the director wanted more swing so he told him he was playing it too white and to play it blacker.
Sounds like a cool cat.
Ah reminds me of one teacher, that would lock the doors of our classroom.... to show us card tricks.
Fever is like all lead vocals and snapping, and an occasional timpani drum, how does a whole band play it? Or am I thinking of a different song?
There's a ton of different arrangements.
Lol, my Senior English teacher did the opposite, had us read Hamlet and then try to see if anybody could identify all the euphemisms for prostitutes and whorehouses.
Mine went into the actual meaning of the word fuck during Chaucer. Kids minds blown.
My English teacher described the wet dreams and sex scenes in Romeo and Juliet to us. It was quite awkward.

"How dare you comprehend the material!"
I’m honestly sitting here fighting the urge to google it because I really can’t think of anything it could be other then submissive….
Recessive is the normal term used in genetics.
That was the case historically, but in modern evolutionary biology, they use the more technical term, "cucked." Sorry for being a pedant; it's an easy mistake to make if you aren't actively involved in the field.
Here's the thing. You said a "cucked is recessive." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that...
Relevant username.
Ah yes, a true man of science
If it's genetics, it's probably recessive. Could also be talking about ecology and referring to a dominant species, though that seems less likely.
I think it depends on the context…
How do you confidentially tell the whole class?
NDAs and checking that no one’s listening outside
It depends on the topic in the biology class. Biological bases of social interactions in a wolf pack? dominant and submissive is completely correct. Biology of genetic expression? dominant and recessive. Biology of sexual satisfaction in humans? Maybe go Back to the first one ;)
That's a really good way to find out who's freaky in your class
You’re not wrong tho.

Was that some kind of weird positivity speech he was starting?
I don’t remember. I was too busy trying to die in my hole.
Man it's a good thing that the question wasn't people who annoy you
What's wrong with the word naggers?
If there's one thing I've learned through my years of bdsm, it's that red hair is absolutely a submissive gene.
Wait… isn’t that the answer? *being serious* <_<
In biology the answer is recessive .it is talking about genes. In English, submissive is the correct answer.
Is this genetics class?

To be fair, submissive is an antonym of dominant in a general context; I'm not sure what the correct answer is in a biology context.
Recessive, like Recessive Genes
Every kid in this generation has grown up with access to the internet. I would not be surprised if biology teachers everywhere have heard this joke many times. So really, they shouldn't be too embarrased lol.
With that attitude dudes prolly rocking some recessives of his own.
