TYB = There's Your Boyfriend!!!!

I remember the first time i heard those words uttered. I was on my way to a concert with my friend Sarah like 10 years ago and she yelled that out and pointed to the boy in the car next to us on the stopped highway. It's been the most entertaining game i've played ever since.

This is how it works. You're out with some friends and see a poor soul who for whatever reason is not looking so great...perhaps it's their hair like a mullet, a rats tail or really long Fabio hair on a man. Maybe they are wearing some appalling atire such as cowboy boots, overalls (check out PP's blog for her list of what not to wear she inspired this entry today) or spandex. Now i'm not even sure how spandex made the list.....for working out or sports it's ok, but to go shopping in or out to dinner ... oh my!!! This should be a known fact. Anyway so basically someone in my group of friends will see a funny looking person, could be their hair or clothes as i've mentioned or perhaps they are just funny looking for some reason and they will say "TYB" and we'll look and burst into a fit of giggles...not too loudly of course wouldn't want to be rude. We are generally subtle about it and then begin to ask silly questions to the boyfriends target "Hey look Ashley there is your boyfriend, what is he doing here" type of things. Childish & mean perhaps, but we never make fun of developmentally delayed or challenged people or anything like that. Just randoms that don't fit our ideals as far as appearance is concerned. I don't mean just generally average people or even unattractive ones....there's gotta be something there to make it a TYB.

We once had a rule that you had to go talk to your TYB. So one day Dawn whispered TYB to me and pointed to this skidly looking gentleman. Long hair, plaid jacket, big running shoes with the tongues hanging out rather unkepmt looking. I don't recall the rest, however i went over and asked him for the time. He ignored me the first time i asked and the 2nd time he told me he didn't know....he was wearing a watch LOL. Perhaps him and his friends were playing TYG (there's your girlfriend) and i was the brunt of it.

Does anyone else out there do this?
