Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road is a very old joke, The joke appeared during a 1847 of The Knickerbocker, Which is a New York monthly magazine

There are many types of the joke, such as:

"Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the idiot's house. ...Knock-knock." ("Who's there?") "The chicken."

"Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide."

"Why did the chewing gum cross the road? It was stuck to the chicken's foot."

"Why did the whale cross the ocean? To get to the other tide."

"Why did the dinosaur cross the road? Chickens didn't exist yet."

"Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side."

A mathematical version asks, "Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? To get to the same side." (I took all this shit from wikipedia lol)

Here is an example:

Johnathan: "Hey, I got a joke."

Brook: "Spit it out dude."

Johnathan: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Brook: "Johnathan, You said this joke about 76 times, The answer is to get to the other side, Dude your so lame."

Johnathan: ":("

The Tijuana trunk crossing

When a gym enthusiast sharts whilst committing to a gut wrenching dead lift or squat.

"Did you see Danny squat 500lbs on tuesday!?" "I sure did, but he definitely finished off with the Tijuana trunk crossing. You could see it running down his legs before it smelled.

star-crossed exes

The opposite of star-crossed lovers, those who are meant to be together but they are pulling themselves away, they are soulmates that completly deny it, either because they physically exes or they think they’re relationship is just temporary until one moves away.

“Its a shame Justin and Bailey broke up, they were perfect for eachother! But now they’re both cold and distant from eachother. Guess now they really are star-crossed exes.” (it is used as noun or an adjective)

Sly from Animal Crossing

Like Hornsby and Axel, he is a femboy. Other than that, he is a jock orange-yellow alligator, but is actually Namjoo from Apink in a disguise, another Apink member like the two mentioned above.

Girl’s dining companion: “IKR, Sly from Animal Crossing is my bias 😍💅🧡”

European 12-year old anti-furry: “Apink sucks”

Cross Texting

The act of texting someone on multiple social media sites in the same moment. Leaving them confused or irritated most of the time.

Billy: Yo, why the hell did you text me on snap, instagram and facebook all at the same time? We just got done texting on insta.

Jimothy: Sorry for the Cross Texting. I thought I could get your attention by that quicker.

Example 2:
*George has a conversation with Walter on snapchat, as soon as they stop talking, George sends Walter memes on Instagram, George checks facebook and sees messages from Walter from over an hour ago, deciding to answer him there now.*

Walter: Can you stop Cross Texting me all the damn time!

George: Sorry, I do it religiously.
