SALT LAKE CITY—Displaying his ignorance in a misguided and failed attempt to sound cool, local white coworker Dan Tibbs, who has lately tried to incorporate Black slang into his vocabulary, was reportedly misusing the N-word on Monday. “He keeps trying to use it in emails, but he’s totally doing it the wrong way, and it’s so cringe,” said Mark Coleman, who works with Tibbs at ClearVue Industries and described how grating it was to hear his coworker employ the word he had learned online and adopted in an effort to seem more in touch with the current vernacular. “Apparently, he thinks it’s a term Gen Z made up, and everyone in the office is too embarrassed to tell him otherwise. He’s trying so hard with it, too. He’ll say the N-word and then look around at all the younger people in the office for approval.” At press time, sources confirmed Tibbs was using the N-word as a verb that meant he wanted to “circle back” and revisit a topic at a later time.
