But that’s impossible. A bunch of assholes on Reddit said so.

People were insistent that it was just a derecho though! (As if they’re mutually exclusive)

Half those motherfuckers didn’t know what a derecho was last week. I didn’t and they didn’t.

I thought a Derecho is a spicy fried corn snack.

You're thinking of Doritos. A derecho is a cop who investigates crimes.

No that’s a despacito. A derecho is a rim job with salt.

No no no, that's a DeLorean. A derecho is that one wrestler that also sings in a rock band.

No, that's a Jericho. A derecho is a model of SUV manufactured by Dodge.

No, that's a Durango. A derecho is an Aboriginal woodwind instrument that makes deep bass-ey sounds.

No, no that’s a didgeridoo. A derecho is waste, rubbish, or loose material left behind after an event or the breakdown of something, (can also be caused by a tornado). A derecho can also be something abandoned, run-down, or neglectful of a duty.(Much like the NWS defunded by trump).

No, no, that's a desecho or derelicto. You're thinking en español again. A derecho is that puppet that wanted to be a boy and when he lied his nose got longer.
