T.W.S.S.

"That's what she said."

Don't get me wrong. This is not a bad joke.
Just like K-C and JoJo's "All My Life" was not a bad song. But after several months of hearing it 12 times a day on the radio, MTV, CMC, and anyone showing off on a piano, the Jodeci alumni quickly climbed to the top of my To-Punch-In-The-Face list.

The comedic market has been flooded with TWSS comebacks, and their value is PLUMMETING. People EXPECT to hear this after any and every mention of slightly suggestive, half-innuendo key words. among which are:
hard, mouth, fast, long, down, big, small, tonight, quick, in, out, more, do, again, the, and sexual intercourse.

This is not to put down the joke or anyone who uses it (i know several), but i feel like i hear it EVERY day, and i can safely say it NEVER surprises me, much less make me lol, rofl, lmao, nor any combination of the three.

what i say to you Twss-heads then, is this:
If you and the people around you honestly still enjoy the joke and you MUST use it, then please,
RAISE YOUR STANDARDS.

Wait for the GOLDEN opportunities, comments that NOBODY expects anyone to twss. no more throwing out cheap twss's at "this is big" or "that was hard."

because if there's a joke, and everyone expects it, and it doesn't matter who says it, and (here's the kicker) no one really laughs at it, then can't we, at that point... just, like, skip it?

YES. i used to love TWSS but its losing its charm bc people say it after EVERYTHING these days. I second the "just skip it" idea for all the obvious ones.
