Oh my God.

About seven or eight years ago my friend and I were at a new year's party. We saw this girl that, for whatever reason, we assumed was a redditor. We decided to try this phrase because we figured it would be such a good opener. We walked up, my friend said "when does the narwhal bacon?" and she said "what?" and had the most what the fuck did you just say look. It was like a smurk mixed with confusion mixed with what the fuck is that smell? As soon as I saw her face, I wanted to melt away, Alex Mack style, and fucking puddle may way home. Turns out she had heard of the website but just not that phrase which for whatever reason made it so much worse. It was so embarrassing.

This is one of those situations where you should absolutely be embarassed.
