Why do I write? Because I can't draw! I write mainly as an outlet, and don't take it too seriously. If you like what I write, awesome! If not, that's cool too.

After Spike throws a phrase at Twilight she's never heard before, she sets out to document this new evolution in language, and try to master its usage. Unfortunately, that may be harder than she thought.

Say hello to the premiere villain of season five, an evil meme that burrows into the heads of ponies despite meaning absolutely nothing! In a matter of hours, Ponyville turns into a den of catch-phrase spouting, swag-wearing post-ironic hipsters!

By the gods, I've just typed out an idea even worse than Equestria Girls. IT'S ALREADY GOT ME! SAVE YOURSELVES AND BURN YOUR COMPUTERS BEFORE YOU GET INFECTED TOO!

"Don't hoard cat food... Star wars typhoon. We can joke all night, but no no kung foo. No more cartoons, no more kung foo. No no kung foo."

For real, I don't know the meaning behind TD4W (Ha, I didn't use the W word!).

"Turn down for what!!' ~ Princess Celestia

A phrase created by the princess so to force natural selection. Those stupid enough to follow increase their mortality by 29%. Thus weeding out the lower of the gene pool and increasing the chances of the better genes passing on to offspring.

"Two mind erasers!"

Smart move there Dash. Twilight's a bit of a lightweight so you will want to start off small before easing her into the hard stuff like Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters...

Rainbow slid a class to Twilight.

Wut?

I think you seriously need to turn down for what...

Aww yeah

Well alrighty then! :pinkiehappy:

Had to look that up on Urban Dictionary. It means don't be scurred. Man up.

This is like if MLP was an Adult Swim cartoon.

Cringed a couple times, but it read so smooth, I couldn't resist finishing it.

Crank dat solider

I can't help but think when Twi heard "plow," she mentally saw http://www.harvestofhistory.org/assets/object-images/main/plow2.jpg :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

my god I had to look them up, gorilla farts, mind erasers must try all varieties of both

4970725 You cheeky bastard. :rainbowlaugh:

4970755 I'm pretty sure there's a drink called an Orgasmic Scream.:unsuresweetie:

I think I bust a lung.

Holy hell. :rainbowlaugh:

4970835
yup found it. is this what you drink right after "sex on the beach" ?

So...
...words and sentences happened here.

4970229
You mean you've never slid a class to someone before?
I'd start with a European Foreign Language first. Smaller classes are easier for practicing.

But Rainbow... I don't turn up in the first place! :twilightoops:

4970835 It's Screaming Orgasm. Unless someone made a new variation since the last time I checked...

And to answer Twilight's question: "Turn down for what" roughly translates to "Why be sober" or "Let's party!" :pinkiesmile:

Turned up: To get crunk.
Turn down for what?: Why shouldn't I get crunk?

Thank you Todd in the Shadows for explaining that to me. And for doing an awesome piano cover of that song.

Also, something is weird about the comments here, I don't know if it's just me, but everything looks weird.

4971949 And the new word I get to look up today is: "Crunk!" :twilightsmile:

It apparently means (depending on context): either "drunk and on crack," "Drunk and on coke," or "drunk and crazy." So a general rough translation would be: "Drunk and disorderly." As in having fun at a wild party or night on the town. :twilightsheepish:

Also, something is weird about the comments here, I don't know if it's just me, but everything looks weird.

No, it's not just you, it seems to be happening all over the site. It looks like some kind of misguided attempt to implement a "nested" comment system, where replies are placed under the original post and indented to the right... except that it's not actually following the conversation threads; it seems to be just clumping posts together at random.

What kids these days come up with, and especially WHERE do they come up with, I'll never know.
Fun thing is that I'm not even that old myself, yet thanks to this I feel way too old already :rainbowlaugh:
Nice little fic there though, got a chuckle or two or more out of me.

4970904
put in Orgasmic Scream drink and you will come up with a lot of ways to mix it.

I know that feeling twi ... I know that feeling ... :facehoof:

4972016 Funny, haven't seen that till just now. Well, it's not just one person seeing it, anyway.

4970292 No. Don't bring that hideous thing here. That is the music of idiots and people who have won the Darwin Awards.

4974008
Yeah, I've noticed that too -- it's not doing it on every story's comments section, just some of them. I wonder if Knighty accidentally uploaded some beta-test code into the main site somewhere.

4974052 It seems that it only happens on posts made by one certain user who figured out how to do it.

4974039
Learn how to take a joke, man

You mean you've never slid a class to someone before? I'd start with a European Foreign Language first. Smaller classes are easier for practicing.

No. Not publicly in a bar at least. My family forbade sliding classes on misguided, legalistic religious grounds. Significant Other offered (in moderation of course) to help with some lighter regional English dialects. I am just unsure on how well I can actually handle the spoons, and the last thing I want to do is end up getting treatment in a clinic for sliding a class without spoons.
:twilightoops:

4975127 hmm. I am not going to lie, I thought you were being serious. Well played good sir, now I am a fool for believing you actually liked lil wayne. I applaud you, and since I was fooled once, I have brought shame onto myself. But I shall not be fooled twice.

Actually with the ingestion of alcohol mentioned in the fic and other activities alluded to are correct would would most likely lead to a population boom, and not necessarily the brightest ponies would be the ones propagating.

Found a few mistakes in here bud:

it is entirely within'

There shouldn't be an apostrophe on within.

"Do I even what to know what's in that?"

Do I even want to know...

"He said he worked for crown!"
Dash laughed. "The crown?

You might be missing the word the before crown in the top line.

Alright, I'm glad you can take a joke

After reading the story, I was pleased. :twilightsmile:

After reading the comments, I was confused. This is an actual phrase that beings outside of the poines in this story actually use?! I am so out of touch. :twilightblush:

4969832

it's a song by that guy that's always yelling things.

and actually it means something along the lines of im not turning down my (music party whathave you)

also late fic is late :O

entertaining though ^_^

Oh god. I never even watched the music video for this until now. Can't stop laughing :rainbowlaugh:

4980002 That is without a doubt the greatest music video I've ever seen.

All of you need to watch the video in sneaky's post. it's the song inspiring the fic, and before you say anything, yes, i know many of you despise that type of music. but guys, the music video is just so damn funny. My sides are now in decaying low earth orbit.

4980317 Are you sure that's the best video ever?

"Turn Down For What" applies to every Breaking Bnejamin song ever. :pinkiecrazy:

4980317
You are absolutely correct. I haven't been that entertained since Psi.

Thankfully, my phone has enough signal to load this streaming. I work in a deep concrete bunker. Okay... convulsing on a roof... what the heck groin of admantium... I wish I could do that through a phone... and then I can see everything, I can see it all... property damage FTW... my renter's insurance is going up just because I'm watching this... what is happening to that large woman? Oh Celestia no - nooo... now it's just turning into a slow-response Harlem Shake... didn't that cop have his face melted? Just put your face right in there, officer, yeah... That's me sleeping through a party, no wait, it's everyone - everyone except Mr. Happy there.

Final Result: :facehoof: Why?

Why? Turn down for what. That's why.
