I once lost a job even though I did well at the interview, because when I left the lady said 'see you anon', and I'd never heard that before so I said 'sorry what?' and she said 'anon' and I said 'a what?' and she said 'a...never mind' and then they went with the other candidate.

@fesshole this could have been me. I had to look it up. What kind of stupid expression is this?

@chewie @lhengstmengel @fesshole it's used in Shakespeare, probably a bit of a middle -class signifier if people use it nowadays, dick move to penalise someone if they hadn't come across it before

@internetsdairy @chewie @lhengstmengel yeah it's very bougie. first heard it at 20 from some real poshos on a heritage site

@internetsdairy @chewie @lhengstmengel @fesshole Yes, they shouldn’t go on anon like that!

;)

@sinvega @chewie @lhengstmengel it's quite a jemble thing to say, if you can still get jembles. "See you anon, stout yeoman of the bar," that kind of thing
