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 4 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 4 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 4 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 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh he's sweaty. The rest I got.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 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.

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 4 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 4 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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

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

lol this makes me even more confused. Why is Reagan BONE DRY? And why did I read that in John Mulaney's voice?

This president is BONE DRY.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

it's partly literal, about their sweat levels - notice that the presidents from southern states (lbj, carter, clinton) are all various stages of wet, nixon and trump are famously very sweaty, whereas you will have a harder time finding photos of biden or reagan for example dripping sweat. but it's also vibes-based, dryer presidents are mostly more boring, lack a sort of bon vivant quality compared to the wet presidents, are a bit more put together in their public appearances. at least that's how i would try to explain it. i also disagree with some of his assessments, mostly truman and bush ii (both slightly on the wet side of the spectrum)

reagan was considered kind of a nowhere man, to such an extent that a biographer, rather than writing a biography about him, wrote a novel about a guy who just kind of ran into reagan on occasion. he was hollow, lacked a personality, a soulless quality to him. i think that plays a part in him being the dryest president

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

JFK was famously so dry that the CIA had to unalive him at Dow Chemical's request so that they could research his body to invent those little silica gel packs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ah, gotcha. That actually kind of makes sense. I think I really am having a tism day lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

i appreciate you asking because it was fun trying to articulate what makes the tweet work both as a joke and as a (mostly jocular) analysis lol. i'm sure someone else would have an equally valid explanation, maybe christman himself has addressed it in one of the cushvlogs

I was gonna ask how someone can be so delusional as to share this photo without shame or embarassment. but then I realized - right, the same kind of person who is delusional enough to paint that in the first place
