I remember a guy i worked with who would say at least 10 times a day: if you don't have an iphone, you don't have an iphone. That was tge commercial at the time. It was so odd.

a fan of billionaire owned sports team, i never understood that at all.

i play a variety of sports but don't watch any, aside from occasionally cheering friends competing in local events

Fuck you, I'm team non-tribalism!
