- bsgada 2y agoI didn't know what AAVE meant, so I asked Wat dat: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11-S_eJt42MJwvMsnnPP43I6DfAWCXD_h/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/11-S_eJt42MJwvMsnnPP43I6DfAW... Anyway, I want to be clear that I didn't mean to offend anyone. It was just a coincidence.

Hell, 'Wat' has its own Know Your Meme page, as do several phrases including 'Dat' https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wat https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wat
