marcicatGotta love when you get a work email from someone you've never heard of that opens with this line:
Hello My Fellow Peers,
I'm not an english major, but I'm relatively sure the 'fellow' is implied by 'peers.' Still, the sentiment is very nice!
(This just led me down the rabbit hole to a 2017 Verge article about how the 'how do you do fellow kids' meme is overused and also just over. Sadly the know your meme usage over time graph isn't currently working, so I can't make any claims as to the phrase's post-2017 longevity other than 'I'm pretty sure it's still around.')
As one of those old people who continues to use outdated memes long past their prime, I'd like to personally suggest that 'hello my fellow peers' becomes the workplace version of this meme from now on. As supporting evidence, I present the following: it's an older code, but it checks out
