Did you seriously get the name of an actor tattooed onto your arm? What is wrong with you lmao

I love the tribute, but it's pretty bold to put an in joke in a tattoo. There's a IYKYK factor for Greatest Gen fans, but almost everyone else is gonna need an explanation for why this isn't a fuck up.

I’m everyone else. Help me out.

On the Greatest Generation podcast, they say RSVP instead of RIP among other little in jokes.

If you haven't listened to it, it's a pretty funny take on basically every episode of Trek at this point. It starts a bit rough (and slightly inappropriate with some Wesley jokes IMO) but it gets good quick and now it's a fulltime job for the hosts. It's a good time if you're looking for a parasocial relationship with a couple of Trekkies.

I don’t get it. What does reservation have to do with dying?

Nothing, they just intentionally fuck up the acronym. Sometimes they call the Enterprise the Entrepreneur. It's usually rooted in some one off comment, but sometimes it takes and slowly they've developed their own weird parlance full of in jokes.

Entrepreneur is from one of the hosts wives attempting to recall the name of the enterprise and incorrectly identifying it as the entrepreneur.

I have listened to most of the greatest gen and honestly I have no idea where half the stuff comes from but I do remember that one being in one of their opening chats and then becoming a fixture in the show.

I also sorta agree that you either get a joke tattoo or a memorial tattoo and not both, but to each their own.

I don't think he can attend your party.
