When someone asks us to describe our sibling, 'annoying' is one of the many adjectives that pop immediately into our mind. But in some cases, that is paired with 'caring' and 'understanding.' In fact, as part of this bittersweet bond, siblings naturally make up their own vocabulary. Recently, a viral "dictionary" trend surfaced on the internet, where two friends, siblings or a couple guess the weird and unique words or phrases that only the two know about. Joining in the trend, an LA-based editor named Sean Tadlock–who goes by @sean_tadlock on TikTok–made a video with his sister, Michelle Tadlock, where the duo guessed the phrases from each others' "sibling dictionary."
When one sibling explained the meaning of a phrase or a word, the other sibling had to find out what it was. The Tadlock siblings were so in sync with each other that they guessed everything right and instantly. The first clue Sean gave was, "This is your favorite question to ask me if I'm being an idiot." Without a second thought, Michelle responded, "Are you stupid or are you dumb?" Whenever the siblings come across something they like, they describe it as "so good" and add another "soooo good." Sean hinted, "When you call me, this is how I usually answer the phone," and Michelle replied, "Green, green, yellow," with a sassy twist to the "yellow" part.
Michelle then asked Sean about an inside joke they shared, "When there's a light draw and we're inside, what do we say?" Struggling to hold back laughter, Sean replied, "Who opened a window?" When Sean tells their sister a story about someone and has nothing else to say at the end, they often have an ending line. As the brother hinted that it was a movie line, Michelle rightly guessed, "And now I guess she's on crack." On the other hand, Sean knew exactly how their sister ended a call - she simply said, "TT, YL." And whenever Sean described someone and said, "That's so annoying," Michelle would ask, "Who is?" The duo shared a good laugh as to how quirky and hysterical their dictionary was and the internet was amused.
Nearly 7 million views came in for the video and people found it both humorous and relatable. "I'm so glad I'm not the only one still quoting, 'Who opened a window?'" said @charitygracecook. "'Green green yellow' would make me cackle or hang up. No in-between," chimed in @khariahc. "I love that there's no such thing as an inside joke anymore. Keep sharing. It's so good, so good," quipped @lana_del_louiseville.
While speaking of siblings following the social media trends, the "Hug your sibling" challenge caused quite a laugh riot. While siblings are not usually touchy-feely with each other, randomly hugging one's sibling made the person absolutely bewildered. Allie–who goes by @allieschnacky on TikTok–shared one such viral video where she went to hug her brother, which made him so scared that he tried to run away. "What are you doing? Why are you messing with me?" the brother exclaimed in shock and Allie responded, "Sibling love." Many such videos showed hilarious reactions of siblings being shocked by the unusual gesture from their brothers or sisters.
