Coach Prime / Buffs Football Social Media Thread

The phrase is much older than three weeks in the Black community…
Dude, I don’t think you’re understanding my question. I recognize the phrase has been around for a long time. I recognize its origin. I recognize it’s a phrase in the black community.

What I do not understand is why in the year of our lord 2024, week 4 of college football, it started making the rounds on social media? Why have I not heard it up until then?

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference


The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate
 
You guys can tell @Bread you don't know. It's ok.

Bread, I don't know what the specific trigger was.

I explained it to him multiple times. He acted like I was talking to a wall. Apparently he doesn’t understand that sometimes phrases get repeated by people and catch on…
 
That is true. But that's not what he's asking. He's trying to identify the specific "tipping point" from Gringo's post. It's ok that no one knows.
Yeah, Bread asked a very clear question, and those trying to answer, answered completely different questions.
 
I think the phrase got more popular in the sports world last year when Patrick Beverly started using it. He has a podcast on Barstool with a white battle rapper, so that could explain why lots of young to middle aged white dudes started using it more recently. I'm guessing that was the "tipping point."

Because whites are typically YEARS behind the black and gay communities when it comes to turns of phrase, slang, jargon, etc.
