a phrase used at the end of a story that had really no point to be told to someone. used at the end of boring stories to make them seem more interesting and worthwhile.
"yesterday i went to the fridge and took out a yogurt but put it back and got an apple instead.
...and then i found 5 dollars."
**I had a very clever response to put in here and then I forgot it.......and then I found 5 dollars**
May 17: pretext
Verb, portmanteau - To pretend to text someone or reply to someone's text message to avoid awkward situations. This happens most often when talking to someone you don't really know or when you don't want to look weird while waiting for the bus.
My crush, Addie, and I have run out of things to talk about so I will pretext to avoid any awkward silences.
**I am mid sentence when people near me start texting. I now understand why. It's cause........and then I found 5 dollars**

Ha! I pretext all the freaking time. I've never used 'then I found five dollars'. I usually end up just ending awkwardly. Then, when it's quiet for a moment, I'll say, "Cool story Hansel! Thanks, Olaf." This is hilarious if you have ever seen the movie Zoolander. People laugh and then the subject changes. Works every time.
Em....you can't possibly think Mark Harmon and Ted Bundy in the same sentence! Seriously!
I live for that show and now you are trying to take it away from me????
I have so few pleasures left. Then I found five dollars!
You are truly crazy! I think you are my twin sista from a different mutha!
I totally pretext all the time. It comes in handy quite often.
I DON'T text---and when I empty my husbands pants pockets, to get ready for the wash

OK I am on the floor rolling with laughter because I just read the comment I posted and I freakin' posted 4 dollars and it's 10:08 and I'm thirsty so it doesn't get much funnier than that right now!
And then I found 5 stinkin' dollars!
