You know how some articles require a lot of nuanced backstory and tell a deeply heartwarming tale?

Yeah... this ain't that.

This is a nice simple article about why folks should 100% not be allowed to use any of that newfangled youth-speak without a translator. Because when they do, they end up accidentally encouraging students to perform fellatio.

Recently, an image that shows exactly that scenario has been making the rounds across the internet. According to one Reddit user, it's a sign posted at the health center of their sister's school.

Yup.

That happened.

Take a long look at that "coughing" emoji. Take a long, deep, hard look.

Do you see it?

Reddit certainly did, and the jokes ... well ... they write themselves.

"A lot of time people are very prone to coughing fits after eating eggplants, you should suggest that they put an eggplant emoji right before it, for awareness." - Cetun
"This emoji would have made The Emoji Movie a whole lot more interesting." - FooFooPottyMouf
"Netflix and coughing is now a thing?!" - SurvivorDress
"This would totally change my tinder game if I had an emoji like this" - TToiv

Twitter noticed, too.



As embarrassing as going viral for this must be for the staff, they shouldn't feel too bad. The students will absolutely remember the sign and the message, after all.

They should really take heart in the knowledge that they're not the only completely oblivious adults out there trying to be "hip" and failing like.

Giphy

Because this next story had us cackling.

We'll let you use Urban Dictionary to figure out what thunderclap is in current slang and why it's not at all appropriate to call an award for children.

"My husband is a high school teacher, and at his school the mascot is Thor/thunder. Administration started giving awards to praise student behavior, and asked teachers to nominate kids for 'Thunderclap Awards'. "- Cyndurblox

So what have we learned?

If you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to be out of the youth-speak loop; and maybe you should run these things by actual kids before you end up as a cautionary internet tale.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Special Olympics Fires Back At Kid Rock With Powerful Statement After He Used 'The R-Word' To Describe Halloween Costume

MAGA singer Kid Rock was called out by Loretta Claiborne, the Chief Inspiration Officer of the Special Olympics, after he used the "r-word"—a known ableist slur—to describe his Halloween costume this year.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
