Love how Brizzly explains trending twitter topics

I’ve been using Brizzly for a while now for all my twitter needs (and now Facebook as well) If you want an invitation, ask me.

The one feature I like most is how you see trending topics being explained. Usually, shortly after they appear, someone is going to try to explain the topic, and more people can contribute. It’s really good.

Today though, it was loads of fun to read this explanation to this trending topic
#WeCoolAndAllButwhy?
This type of tweet strongly implies that the subject is viewed as a close acquaintance or friend, but despite this favored status, certain behaviors will always remain taboo.

E.g. “We cool and all, but I ain’t letting you in my apartment while I’m at work."In this context, "we” is an American way of saying “we’re”.

^Not “American”, but “Ghetto”. Racist Americans generally hate that speak.In this context, “speak” is an American way of saying “way of speaking”, provided you ignore Orwell’s contributions to the English language, e.g. “newspeak” etc (Orwell was British)

^ Orwell was also an author of several novels. He was known to enjoy a pipe.^ Pipes are conveyances for tobacco consumption.

^ ‘Conveyances’ has four syllables. ^ I’ll four syllable your mom.

^ Mom is a palindrome.^ Mom is spelt Mum in the UK

^ 'Mums’ is the commonly used name for chrysanthemums, a herbaceous perennial.
