Basically the title. Have never understood why people refer to each other as kings (both on WSO and off). You're not a king. You're probably not even an exceptional person. Maybe I'm just not nice enough to my bros, idk.

Mind your crown my young king, you will get it when you are older.
My King, hold your chin high brother.
Well I think people say a man’s home is like is castle so a person can kinda be like a king in his own home… maybe that’s kinda why? Idk
you're a king for this one
I call everyone queen
Username checks out
OP you are a king, even if you don't see it in yourself. Keep your chin up, you don't want your crown to fall off.
Go off king!
King shit in this thread!!
lil dicky and andrew "cheeto" santino have a fantastic show on hulu and i want to kill myself every single day, king
This sentence took a drastic turn.
You’ll get it one day, king!
Calm down king
King, everyone has doubts and fears. But you gotta push through that, my man. Can´t let your shadow catch up with you, King.
Keep GAY king. Grind all year.
Lol what?
Probably the most degenerate thread and comment section I've seen on WSO
Great work King
i never understood why everyone here refers to everyone else as a "kid". interns aren't kids. 1st years arent kids etc....so stupid imo.
A kid is a billy goat.
I don't think any of these are complete answers, so here goes nothing. Much of what people say today is appropriated from 20th-century black drag-ball culture. A few examples (by no means comprehensive) include "yass," "king/queen", "slaying", "shade", and "spilling the tea." To understand this subculture better, you could watch "Paris Is Burning" or "RuPaul's Drag Race."
If that's what I have to watch to understand I'd rather just stay ignorant
Well, that's certainly your prerogative (I've watched virtually none of RuPaul myself). At least you know where it comes from.
I agree and to add to this, after it emerged from this subculture onto twitter etc, it seems to have become especially popular because it expresses the view that male-male interactions are more positive/constructive/supportive than male-female or female-female ("focus on yourself king" / "dont waste your time with girls king" etc). Even if it's used with a degree of irony some of the time, I think a lot of guys would unironically identify with these ideas but would otherwise think it's gay to express it without using meme phrases like this.
Yeah I'm tired of it too. I hate when people say king and yaaaaass qweeen.
