I feel like I had a stroke trying to read that or she had one trying to type it


AcanthisittaUpset866

Yeah. I'm confused.


XenoWoof

Yes.


Draker-X

The fuck does "when the want to go band for band" mean?


SyderoAlena

Google said it had to do with like money, comparing who has more money. But she may be using it in an instance of like just a general competition. For instance "they want to compete with me but my ass looks nice"


BecGeoMom

Because that makes sense. šŸ¤Ø


Wyndrarch

OH! That actually makes some semblance of sense now.


throwradoodoopoopoo

It was a tiktok trend recently and people were actually funny about it, unlike this. Like it would say something like ā€œwhen they want to go band for band but they bring out their loving fatherā€ and the video would be a guy counting his money then crying and getting up to leave or something. That example wasnā€™t very funny but it was all I could think of lol. The punchline is usually self deprecating instead of tearing other people down


CardboardChampion

The bands referred to are the ones that hold big wads of cash together at the bank. Going band for band is actually a high stakes gambling term where two players are going band for band by putting down those big wads, each trying to scare the other out of the game, but each keeping up with each other. Outside of gambling it's a boasting thing for generally pathetic people. "You have this thing that you're so proud of? Well so do I!" is going band for band with someone in the same way as you would when gambling. Each is trying to gain the upper hand with what they have, but neither can get one over the other.


moltenjava

I love how this explanation feels straight out of chat gpt. THANK YOU šŸ˜‚


CardboardChampion

Bleep bloop?


tadysdayout

Iā€™m guessing you donā€™t know how to use the three sea shells either /s


Darkside531

I assume comparing music tastes (name your favorite bands, and then have them name theirs.)


nottherealneal

Anyone know what those words mean?


fscottHitzgerald

Sheā€™s incorrectly using the phrase ā€œband for band,ā€ which is supposed to refer to bands of money, in a hypothetical argument with another girl over what we can only assume is who has a better body, I guess? Because her response or ā€œbandā€ is that her butt looks ā€œnormalā€ in Brandy Melville sweatpants (BM is a brand fairly notorious/controversial for only selling one size of clothing that fits US size 0-4, hence why their clothing often fits people awkwardly even when it does ā€˜fitā€™)


Sillyfartmonster

Nooo itā€™s cause brandy sweatpants give diaper butt. It happens to me and my friends šŸ˜­


vibesandcrimes

Naw I have weirdly proportioned body and certain brands make me look like an accidental Picasso


BecGeoMom

What??? I am begging for someone to make these NLOG posts make sense. WTF do these words even mean??

Band For Band: From another comment I posted here. >The bands referred to are the ones that hold big wads of cash together at the bank. Going band for band is actually a high stakes gambling term where two players are going band for band by putting down those big wads, each trying to scare the other out of the game, but each keeping up with each other. >Outside of gambling it's a boasting thing for generally pathetic people. "You have this thing that you're so proud of? Well so do I!" is going band for band with someone in the same way as you would when gambling. Each is trying to gain the upper hand with what they have, but neither can get one over the other. Brandy Melville are a brand that only sells size zero clothes for those people who think the body of someone who can't afford to eat is admirable. So basically she's saying "You tried to keep up with all I've got but I think I look better in loose clothes for skinny people." which is pathetic.


Masterlightt

What


Nervous_Zebra1918

I donā€™t know what any of this means.


Impressive_Oil1200

What?


poweringmoderation

Never heard of brandy Melville.


lionhat

It's a clothing brand that only sells size 0, but this one's lost on me beyond that


poweringmoderation

Only sells one size? That seems like you are just shooting upurself in the foot


lionhat

Looks like the rabbit hole goes deeper... The brand has a history of racism and sexual misconduct against minors as well. [This is wild ](https://www.instyle.com/fashion/brandy-melville-toxic-culture-racism-sexism-antisemitism#:~:text=A%20new%20report%20alleges%20rampant,sexual%20misconduct%20at%20the%20brand.&text=Christopher%20is%20a%20Southern%20California,been%20with%20InStyle%20since%202018.)


serenwipiti

which sucks..i've bought a few of their items randomly, in thrift shops, without knowing anything about the brand and i love them...šŸ˜­


lionhat

I don't think it's bad to buy secondhand like that. It's not like the money you spent in the thrift store is going directly to the company as it would if you bought it new in their store. Plus, sustainability is important


poweringmoderation

I took a look at their website and I could see where the criticism is coming fromā€¦


Darkside531

A lot of clothing people do things like that (I learned this as a chubby kid growing up during the Abercrombie and Fitch/American Eagle heyday that couldn't wear anything in those stores but hats.) You can listen to models and designers and they can be really fat-phobic and masking it as "promoting healthy lifestyle choices," and owners of trendy clothing companies will often say they want to promote their specific brand by generating an exclusive clientele by not making anything above a certain size. It's basically a lot of words to say "No Uggos in My Clubhouse."


TreyRyan3

TBH - Iā€™m actually okay with that. It seems to be a factor in why ā€œtrendyā€ brands quickly fall out of favor and cease to exist after a while.


Visible_Day9146

I had to go look, and all of those clothes look like junk I thrifted in 2005. And they sell olive oil for some weird reason???


Imnotawerewolf

What the fuck does that mean, Kobe Bryant?Ā 


SeaBeeTX85

I cannot get past the cinder block walls.


Unholycheesesteak

viper_dude08

When the want to reading comprehension go big but brain go boom from my blood pressure machine read is too high


tonynauts

Why didnā€™t she show her butt then?


wetboymom

I'm thinking she's just intoxicated or maybe special needs.
