I appreciate you posting the snopes. I am more bothered than I probably should be when someone claims this is real and if OP is willing to lie about something so mundane then none of their posts should be believed.
Honestly there is something to the idea of pretending a joke is personal experience, as it’s always funnier. Like, instead of saying “so this guy was talking to his neighbor…” I’ll say “so I was talking to my neighbor yesterday and…”
The real issue (well besides the possible racist connotations) is this joke is SO overused, this is the fourth time I’ve seen it while scrolling this thread. At least give a different variation like “-andra” (dashandra) or “beu-ious” (bodacious lmao I’m actually kinda proud of that one).
