i donā€™t know why or how but the occasion to say this actually comes up fairly often? itā€™s a reference to the scene in lady bird when lady bird and julie get in their big argument and lady bird says she refused to be in the play bc she was cast as the tempest in william shakespeareā€™s the tempest. which is not a role. though it is the titular role. my best friend and i more or less use this as a replacement for ā€œcase in pointā€ (but the delivery is important. it canā€™t be itā€™s the titular role. it has to be itā€™s the TITular. ROLE.) and itā€™s endlessly funny to me.

In 2012 I had just moved to the states and one of my bffs sent me an fb message detailing all the high school drama that I had missed out on since my departure. She ended the message with "it's on like donkey kong >:)", specifically about some guy she had a crush on looking her way. it doesn't really make sense, but i use this phrase at least once a month 12 years later

if the text requires more than 3 sentences itā€™s a voice memo! the efficiency of just getting to speak! the intimacy of sending your voice and the process of gathering your thoughts in real time! the presence of tone and vocal inflection! i actually aspire to only ever communicate via phone calls and voice memos. texting is such a menace in my life.
