Clap Emphasis

Putting πŸ‘ between πŸ‘ every πŸ‘ word πŸ‘ for emphasis, as the 2016–17 way of making a point loudly, and the record's entry for the applause that was also a lecture, and that everyone found exhausting by 2018.

Personal note for the archive: I have used Clap Emphasis unironically at least twice this week. Reporting this honestly because the record depends on people admitting it.

Definition @speedrun_stella Β· Archivist 13 Mar 2017

The record notes clap emphasis is now used only ironically, that it was used sincerely for about eighteen months, and that the record's hands were tired.
