A Timwae Moment is when somebody makes a joke in a group of
friends which they think is funny, but no one else does or no one in the group understands it, and so they laugh at that person. Originated in
mid 2021 as a way to
bag your mates.
*Friend group
talking about things in the group all relevant to each other*
Person 1: "What's the difference between a
brick and a
ranga?"
*Silence amongst the group*
Person 2: "TIMWAE MOMENT!"
*Group starts laughing at Person 1 who caused the Timwae moment*
