@GrimmReality@beige.party no no the factoid not being known, sure, whatever. But the fact that calling “shotgun” incurs certain obligations is just … that’s what that means

@shovemedia@triangletoot.party Yeah, I def don't think a lot of people understand the responsibility the shotgun seat comes with and, yes, they damn well should.

@shovemedia@triangletoot.party @GrimmReality@beige.party I learned the phrase as a kid. "Calling shotgun" just meant yelling "shotgun" as you all made a dive for the coveted front passenger seat; whoever said it first won, except in practice there were many fights over priority. It was only later that I wondered where the phrase came from, and as an adult I finally got background and confirmation. There are a lot of things like that.
