Okay you guys, seriously?????

I started working on my presentation.  Hmmmm, how should I begin, I pondered aloud.  

 "Oh, you should say 'Hi, Welcome to Chili's!," Olivia advised.

 I looked this up.

What. In. The. World.  

 And it got millions of hits and people imitated it.  And this guy was FAMOUS before this.

Since you asked...it's Gif (with a hard G)

The discussion began with changing the cat on Everett's blog.  Here's the Gif I used :) But do I call it a Gif (with a hard G like Gift) or a Gif (with a soft J like Jiff)? According to Newsweek (article link ) ,  it should be the hard G, like Gift.   Reasons: *The  "G" in GIF stands for Graphic , which is pronounced with a hard G. It's Graphic Interchange Format. *"Gift" is GIF's closest neighbor.   *A computer would pronounce the acronym with a hard "G." *Our brains logically just want to pronounce it with a hard G.  But the creator feels otherwise.  In his acceptance of the Webby Lifetime achievement award ( Not going to lie-kind of cool to think about the real people who created the things that we use everyday and that there are awards for this stuff!) . He says (Jiff) I think I will probably still say it with the hard G because it makes sense to my brain.

Coincidentally, there was a Tweet I saw a few days later that had the handclap emoji between each word.  Ahhh..... The hand clap emoji when used in succession is a round of applause Why thank you! Between each word emphasizes your point Look at me being all relevant without meaning to. Where did this come from? According to the website Bustle, and several others I looked at, it comes from the African American culture.  It  is called "The Black Girl Clap" used often when a woman is explaining something (generally to a man). But online, according to Slate.com, it's become aggressive.  When you do this you are ...

EAT..not food...

I also love Twitter.   One of the teachers that I follow on Twitter is Mr. Victor. Mr. Victor likes to Tweet with the hashtag EAT Jimmy Victor @jimmyvic3 · Oct 9 less than 40 days until tryouts!!! B-ball season is right around the corner, I can’t wait! Get ready for some Jags basketball this winter. Meeting next Tuesday in LGI to discuss workouts and conditioning leading up to tryouts #GoJags #EAT I tried several different Google searches and a call to Liv, before we decided to look up "EAT acronym". We knew from our searches on Twitter that it was related to sports. Effort Attitude Toughness These are things we can all control. As an athlete, and a human, the EAT philosophy leads to success. "Every single successful person I know does everything with great effort, a positive attitude, and mental & physical toughness." Jeff Hamhauser-youth football coach http://www.jeffehemhau...
