The boy doesn't rest. His giant gourd is capable of spewing absurd amounts crap, ranging from mispronounced words to completely jumbled sayings that end up making no sense, making it impossible to keep up with new Cobraisms for anyone but the most dedicated followers.
While there are some staples that the boy enjoys saying over and over, any time he opens his carp lips, there is a chance something new comes out, because he is listening, he listens to many other videos, and likes to repeat what other people say - like a toddler, if you will. And unfortunately for him, like a toddler, he doesn't really understand most of the stuff he repeats, which is very fortunate for us, because it blesses us with so many hilarious moments.
Josh has a handful of phrases that he will continuously use that have become ingrained in Cobraverse culture.
The phrase | The meaning |
---|---|
“That's what's up” | Often abbreviated to “TWU”. In regards to something cool/good happening. The opposite can be also true by saying “That's most definitely not what's up,” abbreviated as “TMDNWU.” |
“That's most definitely what's up” | abbreviated to “TMDWU”. See above. |
“I ride bike, weather permittable.” | Josh occasionally rides his bike when the weather permits it. |
“I'M SICK OF IT!” | Self-explanatory. Heard after/during major tantrums, like getting swatted. |
“'Toobz” | YouTube. |
“But I digress…” | Our King gets off topic sometimes. |
“Not a sponsor” | Said after saying something good about any product. |
“Between the lips, to the liver and to our hips.” | Presages drinking something alcoholic. |
“Happy Easternoth” | Equinox. Said in celebration of Christmas, although Equinox is not in December. |
Sayings that need no explanation, because there is no explanation that could possibly make them seem normal.
Common and rare ones, all mixed together. Boy hears something, and like a parrot, often doesn't understand the meaning behind the words, but unlike parrot, is unable to memorize the precise saying, so ends up completely butchering the meaning.
