"Limbs". Especially when preceded by "Absolute". Ditto "scenes".
Gotta get hip to the lingo, Daddio! But, yeah, I agree. The recent dub/idolo stuff grates in a similar fashion. |

I'm young...ish. I get the "absolute scenes" one but "absolute limbs"??
Are we talking a variant of "She has cracking legs" or "He's got some arms on him" or is it fucking miles away from any limb? The only other I can think of is an American who always said "limb" for a spliff. That makes sense though, as it would resemble a limb of sorts.

Ah yes, absolute limbs. Film a crowd cheering a goal with the tagline. "Absolute limbs!!"
followed by a post of a meme "checking possible dub"
then "dub not given" ( usually by a fan of a rival team)
then a poster from the original team posts a GIF of Mbappe crying.
Rinse and repeat.

I don't think that's the correct meaning here. That's the dictionary definition of the word, not the meme repurposing |

Short for W, the first letter of Win. You'll see a lot of football twitter posts saying "massive dub m8" and the like. Took me a while too as I've also known dub to be short for dub step and VW. |

Some of the "absolute limbs" look very much forced - the last thing I would want to do if we scored would be to waste the moment getting out my phone and filming such "scenes"
Definitely no "W" there, unless W stands for wankers of course

This. People think they're hip/cool or whatever the latest term is when using a 'new' phrase. Guess again. |
