I think it’s a reference to Twitter or Instagram or some sort of social media, where you use a hashtag to tag something with related things (like posting a picture of the sandwich you made for lunch and adding “#lunch” or sharing a story of something that happened to you and adding “#awkward”). It seems to be just another trendy thing to say.

I’m very tempted to change my avatar to something pretty creepy, but I expect it wouldn’t go over well :(

People only began doing it because they saw people (announcers) on MTV, sports channels, celebrities, using it regularly. Then it 'caught on'...
NT's especially don't realize how much they absorb from media without questioning it, especially if people they've categorized as 'cool'/admirable do things--
and just internalize everything without much thought...

not that this is a good/bad thing (annoying to some) but it demonstrates how they are.

Yeah thanks!

He just went to sleep while eating cheese, with his eyes closing slowly.

He was rummaging through the kitchen as I put baby to bed--

then came upstairs, led me by the hand downstairs.
I realized he had been looking for cheese sticks as the kitchen was topsy-turvy...
and a nearly empty packet of cheese was on the ground.

Trying to figure out what he wants is like detective work sometimes!
LOL

run it by a forum moderator if that's what you're worried about (being reported)?

I always call a group of professors a "league".

It just seems right.

That’s part of what I’m worried about, but I’m also concerned about putting people off even if it isn’t deemed too graphic or anything. Just because I can does not necessarily mean I should.
