    I love when proposal pictures are cropped so it looks like they're commiting seppuku.

    He's outside of the blast radius. (I'm assuming this is the aftermath of the guy in the foreground ripping ass, right?)

    “Hey babe, remember last week we saw that guy propose to his girl…?”

    “Hey babe, remember a couple weeks ago we saw that guy proposing…”

    “Baaaabe…remember last month when we watched that guy propose to his gf?”

    “Hey Shane, I was just thinking about that time back in April that guy at the table next to us proposed to his woman…”

    “Hey dickhead, you putting a ring on this or what?”

    He'll be fine. He's got a good thing going in Videlectrix.

    I don't often eat from elevated positions with scenic views, so it isn't surprising to see a proposal happen.

    I hope he can find solace in the fact that he looks like Andy Samberg with a mustache

    "His girl gone talk"

    Jfc... is this how people speak these days ?

    Edit: Wow this certainly blew up, and it's been amazingly effective at identifying a whole bunch of arrogant twats that I needed to block, because they clearly have nothing to say that interests me.

    Zero copula is a common but not obligatory part of African American English grammar that can occur just about any time you could contract "is" or "are" to " 's" or " 're" in Standardized/General American English:

    • "His name's Steve" "His name Steve"
    • "We're leaving" "We leaving"
    • "I know who that is" "I know who that is" (ungrammatical to contract, ungrammatical to remove copula is)

    Regarding "gone": In casual speech, the kind most people use everyday when talking to one another, vowels become more centralized and consonants are removed or articulated as flaps or taps or otherwise assimilated to better accommodate faster speech. This has been studied in English, Dutch, and German at least. Some examples are "going to" -> "gonna" and "I don't know" -> "I dunno", which have transcended phonology into our orthography. I'm not sure what process explains the "gone" variant, which is just "gonna" without the schwa at the end, but yes, many Black Americans say that.

    Yeah, it's a written representation of a verbal phrase. I would've written gon' with an apostrophe for marking that it's a shortened version of the word "gonna" but it's like spelling out the more phonetically accurate form of an abbreviated or contracted word, like "fridge" instead of "frig" or "Mike"/"Tom"/"Joe" as shortened versions of "Michael"/"Thomas"/"Joseph."
