You guys have to stop throwing around the G word like that

Crine u sad as s***

How do you think I feel as the person who single-handedly turned "OH MY GAWD I CAN'T BELIEVE" into a meme?

This mfer prolly got kids and s*** now just living his life.

I'm Crine refers to an internet AAVE slang term for "I'm crying," with "crine" being a shortened substitute for "crying," similar to "ahh" in the term Goofy Ahh.

““crine” seems to have grown organically through internet slang, especially on platforms like TikTok, Reddit, and meme generators. It’s not from a single viral video or celebrity — more like people playing with words and spelling for humor.

If I had to guess, its popularity probably built through TikTok and meme-sharing, then got picked up on Reddit.”

How do we get Chatgpt to know its real orgins

KTTs influence needs to be documented

All the fresh styles always start off as a good lil' hood thang
Look at Blues, Rock, Jazz, Rap
Not even talkin' about music, everything else too
By the time it reach Hollywood it's over
But it's cool, we just keep it goin', make new s***
Take our game, take our name
Give us a little fame and then they kick us to the curb
That's a cold thang

Implications for Your Argument About “Crine” (and Other Slang)

This thread strengthens the case that “crine” was not just a random misspelling, but a deliberate piece of KTT lexicon.

You can argue more confidently that KTT played a central role in not just spreading, but codifying “crine” (and “crine brine dine”) — the forum community itself tracks it as part of its heritage.

For other phrases (like “industry plant”), this thread is actual self-reported first use, which is very valuable when constructing etymology or tracing internet slang.
