Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

When I was five or so, my older sister invented the word "cosweb", convinced gullible-little-me it was the worst thing ever, and called me that for (what felt like at the time) months. She eventually just stopped. I didn't figure it out until I was in grade six or something.

Oddly, I've started calling my sister's sis and brother's bro rather recently. 'It saves time on texts' is my reasoning.

I think it might be laziness mixed with too much fan translated manga / manhwa with a dash of IDGAF.

Chicken Wing is the preferred nickname both ways between myself and my younger brother. No clue how it started exactly.

For us it's Gollum. Girls and boys alike. Everyone is Gollum.

If there is a preamble of any kind, it's "Dude" followed by a story of some kind. But usually it's just like... Stream of consciousness. Like. A text will be "so, this thing happened." Or we send memes. That's it. Sometimes we say "hey".

Depending on the specific sibling dynamic, the following is also acceptable:

"Hey dickweed!"

"Fuck off. Alright what do you want?"

My sister once got my attention from a distance by shouting "HEY, DIPSHIT!"
