A lot of times someone (a man) will be spewing nonsense, and I’ll be like ‘that dude is wrong.’ But then something will happen — he’ll end his sentence with ‘amiright,’ and I’ll realize, ‘oh, he was right all along.’ Or else he wouldn’t have said so. Here are 9 examples of this phenomenon.
- “Bitches be crazy, amiright?” I hear this one a lot at open mics, and my first thought is usually ‘that’s a little sexist,’ but then when the male comic adds, ‘amiright,’ I’m like, ‘yeah, he’s right.’
- “How bout this weather, amiright?” When I hear someone comment on the weather, sometimes I stop listening, because the weather is boring and I don’t really care what they have to say. However, with the additional ‘amiright,’ I’m forced to confront the fact that whatever they just said about the weather, is, in fact, right.
- This assignment is killer, amiright? This happens to me a lot at work, because the men on my team like to complain about how hard the work is. I usually don’t agree with them, because normally I’m the one doing all the work and not them, but if they say ‘amiright,’ I assume they’re right.
- “Something something about sports, amiright?” This is something I hear men say a lot, because men like sports and being right. I don’t personally know anything about sports, but I know that if a man says he’s right, he’s right.
- “This hummus is great, amiright?” I personally don’t usually condone complimenting chickpea-based foods, but when someone sticks an ‘amiright’ at the end, I reconsider. Sometimes, hummus is great, right?
- “Trump, amiright?” This is an example of a time where I don’t really know what someone is talking about until they add the ‘amiright.’ For example, they might be playing bridge. However, once I hear the ‘amiright,’ I realize they’re talking about the president, and whatever they’re saying is right.
- “The subway is too damn slow, amiright?” I don’t really notice the passage of time, but I do notice a well-placed ‘amiright,’ and when I hear that, the subway seems to stop in its tracks for me to consider how right that person is. Actually, the subway actually stops in its tracks, because it stops a lot.
- “You’re wrong, amiright?” When someone tells me I’m wrong, I usually think they’re wrong, because I say ‘amiright’ at the end of every sentence, so I must always be right. Still, if someone adds an ‘amiright’ to the end of telling me I’m wrong, I must concede that I’m wrong, they’re right, amiright?
- “Amiright, amiright?” Wow. No explanation needed — this is the correct way to speak.
- “Ginny posts too much on Facebook, amiright?” Go away.
