To be overwhelmingly skillful at an activity, or to overcome extreme hardship. Typically used in the context of a 2D fighting game. A term originally used in the underground fighting game scene in the early 2010s, arose from EVO 2012's Street Fighter IV. It is unknown why it is called "Gearing", but some speculate it could either represent how functional one is, or represent the Guilty Gear franchise, as it rose in popularity in the early 2020s.

Gearing up for smallies

Gearing up for smallies simply means you are doing everything in your power to get the inside advantage on catching long dong small mouth bass. This is not limited to- buying OD rats, buying Baby FishEverything haters, buying split ring pliers from your local Walmart at 11 o’clock pm and or slapping so many slaps on your fishing vessel of choice that you nearly double it’s resale value.

“ Hey Philip, you want to go fish for some bass?”

“Ya Adrian!”

“Phil what’s taking so long?”

“Sorry man been Gearing up for smallies, you know how long that can take.”

“Oh my bad Phil, ya I understand that.”

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
