Keys

Verb. (i.e. "To Keys") (Pronounced "Keez")

To notice someone waiting for something (for example, the shower), and time your approach in such a way as to sneak in front of them the instant their back is turned, thereby cutting them off, and sneaking whatever it is for yourself, first.

The appropriate response to BEING "Keysed" is to shake your fist in the air, and exclaim "Why like this?"

Phrase originally popularized by divers, working offshore, who routinely go out of their way to steal shower time, snacks, or other goodies out from under their colleagues.
James: "Damn it, Keith! ...I put my shaving kit, towel, and soap in the shower, and I was just about to start the water, and I decided to hit the head, first! ...Then? Dano snuck in there while I was in the head and stole my shower!"

Keith: "Hahaha! You got keysed, Man!"

James: <shaking fist in the air> "Why like this!!?"

The Dawn Key Show

Just a fun way of asking a friend if they've seen The Donkey Show. A fun play on words. Similar to Sofa King.

Prop keys

A second set of keys that can be left on top of a desk to give the impression that you are in the office (versus on a long lunch or having left early) but just not at your desk. An extra cell phone or --in the case of military personnel--a beret or other headgear--can to be used in a similar fashion.
Boss: "Bill, can't have gone far...his keys are on his desk."
Uncool Coworker: "That's true, unless those are prop keys."

Kei

Kei is a very good smash bros player who simps for Joker. He's chaotic in a good way. He can tell you about all the important animes to know about. Sometimes he'll pull really good advice out of nowhere.
Kei's always playing cookie run and Genshin. Are they really that fun?
