    I’m getting too fucking old, the fucking etymology on this is hurting my brain. I guess I grasp the concept, but wtf does a cake have to do with it. Why can’t you just say you find someone oddly attractive or w/e.

      I think they meant “hear me out” crush

        It’s a meme apparently. NerdyShades has the answer, but if you Google “hear me out cake”, Forbes has an article about it.

        We’re all officially old!

      How old are you? Beef cake has been used to describe an attractive muscular male body for decades. Not that far-fetched to see the connection.

      The “cake” is a literal cake, and the concept is printed pictures on sticks or straws that you put into the cake as you mention or explain the unconventional person. It’s just a “viral” online trend, a random fun thing friends do.

          ‘Mum, I’ve got something really important but slightly complicated to tell you. Give me three days to do some shopping, design some graphics and build accessories with them on, then bake a cake 👍’

        Or maybe “take?” But yeah, “cake” being there briefly made me feel insane.

    Kudos for correctly identifying him as a dentist.

    I know a woman that utterly hates that elf dentist guy. She’s a lesbian though so maybe this lady is on to something. I need to understand the sexual energy at work here.
