A) this is hilarious and 2) I just realized I never asked why he is called big wet boy, so why y'all call him that? lol

[–] [email protected] 68 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'm not positive but I think it's because he's big, wet, and a boy

[–] [email protected] 52 points 6 months ago

I mean seriously look at him.

There's a 10 ft damp radius around him.

Can ya answer the question earnestly for the folks with tism in the crowd

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it started as a chapotraphouse joke. But it really is just the literal meanings of the words. He's tall and fat (big), constantly glistening with sweat (wet), male and childish (boy).

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh he's sweaty. The rest I got.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago

I'm fairly certain it's because a number of years back there was some photo of him practically glistening with sweat. And then the name stuck.

I have no sources though, so take this with a grain of salt.

Lol, I have the tism and I'm the one who asked the question. Not sure what I expected.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's okay I do too hence why I was like man can y'all just properly explain fr lmao

I'm normally too afraid to ask about inside jokes unless I see them come up like a lot and still can't extrapolate the meaning behind them. I usually understand them after a while, if not immediately if they are readily apparent. But this one just kept eluding me. I just wasn't sure if it was meant to be taken at face value or if it had some in-joke reasoning.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago

Ok the first and last def make it make sense more. I think I get it. I always considered it like "greasy" tho.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The explanation I recall seeing is he almost always looks like he has just finished (or is in the middle) of sweating

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And I was figuring it might have been something like that but was wondering if there was any deeper Hexbearian lore to it or something. Ty!

I think it originated with Matt Christman calling him that a few years ago.
