> a form of rebellious performance art Theory: Describing it as performance art could be personally offensive enough to said people that they may stop the activity that has become described as performance art. Along the lines of "wow, how did you manage to keep a straight face the whole time?" > (In high school, I started saying "Spiffy!" ironically, and kept saying it, and then there came a point where it didn't matter I meant it ironically, I was just the guy that said "Spiffy!") I started saying 'ta ta' instead of 'seeya' or 'bye' in an ironic effort to be posh, and then one day I realised that 'ta ta' had become my default goodbye. Having had this experience of irony becoming reality does make that 'game of chicken' seem like a plausible reality for the greater populace.
