People are great aren't they? The only problem is, sometimes they say things we don't know how to respond to. Maybe they want an answer we don't want to give. Maybe words just aren't enough to express how we truly feel. Other times, they just say crazy stuff that makes you go Nick Young on 'em
The good news is that we live in the 21st century. These awk moments are very tough face to face, but we don't have to face to face anymore. There is a good chance I am actually a robot who exists solely on the internet and have never talked to a single person face to face in my whole life beep beep boop boop 101001100111000111 boolean FALSE. Even if I was real, I am sitting two feet from my best friend and we are texting each other rn b/c lol y not?
Not only are these times when we don't know what to say not as troublesome anymore, they provide great opportunities to drop it like its hot. Here are your 8 best replies to fill in a conversation when you just don't know what to say.
1. CARLTON DANCE!
Did your best friend invite you to a party and you already committed to brunch with your other best friend who is actually your best friend but you don't have the heart to tell your other friend who thinks that they are your best friend that they are not in fact your best friend that you can't go to the party? Plus it' brunch and who doesn't love that. Avocado toast baby! In the event that this happens to you, just send them this GIF!
With the Carlton Dance GIF you can communicate that you too are excited to, "boogie," without ever committing to actually going. Everyone who ever lived loves Carlton, so they will groove with the GIF and you don't have to worry about breaking another heart today you champ you.
2. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
Did you get lost in a conversation because you were zoning out and wondering if hot pockets actually make your pockets hot? This is the GIF for you! Laughable because Brick and entertaining because it is extremely over the top. A light chuckle from your buds and they will refresh you in the conversation like you were there the whole time.
3. Sorry I'm busy
Look. Sometimes life hits the fan. I get it, and so will they. If someone keeps sending you messages and you just don't have the time to reply, send them this. This one is great, because it is ambiguous. But it is also a cat. Ambigucat.
Maybe you can't reply because you are busy, and so is this cat. You are just typing away and sorry you can't come to the phone right now. Or maybe they take it the other way and think you are saying they are typing like this sending you all the messages and that you are offended because they are a cat. Either way, 10/10 would send.
4. Glasses on
The real life version of the sunglasses emoji, this one oozes style. Someone compliments your mom's french pudding? You got it. Just won the prize for first in hog showing at the county fair? Uh huh. The world finally knows about your birth mark that looks like Nicolas Cage? YUP! Ma made bagel bites? What else is there to say.
5. I'm Coming
This one is great for either coming or going. Pancakes in the cafeteria, or free bubble wrap at the UPS store? We out here lickity-split. Family coming to stay for a week and you have to share your bed with the cousin who only showers once every three days because he or she is hardcore about the environment? See you next Tuesday.
6. No
Sometimes you got to tell it to them straight, and 2 letters ain't gonna do it. That is why we have Miss Piggy.
7. It's Lit
Nothing says it is about to get lit like Spongebob at the Bubble Bowl.
8. Cat in a Hat
To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know what is going on here. But then again, NEITHER WILL THEY! It appears that there is a cat with a piece of fruit stuck on its head, and, not only is it perfectly okay with it, it matches its eyes like nothing else ever could.
This is either one to keep 'em guessing, or a compliment on a bold fashion statement, because not everyone can pull off a melon hat like this kit can.
