    I was a prop propper, made proper prop props, propped the props with my props.

    I had always thought that the term just came from objects that are used to give a little boost to (or prop up) a performance.

    I don't know how to switch accounts and fucked up my wife's entire persona she was building by commenting under her account. Instead of deleting the comments when I realised my mistake, I instead just switched accounts and left those comments there for her to find when she woke up. I claim to have planned to go back to delete them, but instead I was just gonna completely forget about them.

    I am so smart 🤓

    the meaning also includes other things like PEOple, in worst case scenario for desperate "influencers" or another person .
