I am truly surprised someone posted this before I could. Bravo!
Have not seen that one, worth the watch.

Revved up like a deuce makes no sense either.
In 2005, Springsteen himself commented on this amusing mistake. “Deuce was like a Little Deuce Coupe, as in a 2-seater Hot Rod."
TIL this was originally a Springsteen song. I’ve only ever heard Manfred Mann's Earth Band’s far superior version.
far superior version.
thems fightin words
Heresy, the Springsteen version has more verses
As an aside, but in the same vein; TIL that the song Hard to Handle is not a Black Crowes song, nor Grateful Dead, but Otis Redding
I did know about this being a Springsteen song ( and you are totally correct, Manfred Mann hits it outta the park)
Ahhh
*wrapped up like a douche
*revved up like a deuce-
As written by Bruce Springsteen. The line reference a deuce coupe.
they are referencing the meme, most people mishear it as 'wrapped up like a douche' vs 'word up, i'm a douche' due to the way it sounds
Probably generational too.
Word up isn't part of my vocabulary until I've had a few.
Why are we including the post around this image here? Just right click and select "copy image", or the equivalent on a phone. It's not so difficult. 😅 The post around the image doesn't add anything. I'm not complaining, I'm just confused.
Because this is a twitter community, not a meme community.
Oh shit, finally a reply that makes sense. I missed that, actually. 🙏👍 Well done.
I'm not op, but it's actually easier to use the snipping tool hotkey, as it's one press, saves the photo and immediately copies to my clipboard
That's literally one vs two clicks, and that's not as exact/precise as copying the image itself to the clipboard like you can via the context menu.
But that still doesn't explain why the post around the image was included. Why snip so far around the image. 🫠
Yeah, ones still smaller than two, and when I'm snipping, I'm not precise, I get what I need and move on with my life, because believe it or not. I don't really care .
Yeah, one[']s still smaller than two
Except I'm done after clicking "Copy image", which is only two clicks. You have to press a key combo to initiate snipping, then click to start snipping, then drag the cursor.
That's more work, buddy. 💀
But since you don't care, I guess you don't need to optimize. 😉 Carry on!
Why are you getting upset? I'm just explaining my process
Upset?
