What are tendies?
I see this mentioned a lot recently. But what exactly are tendies? Why are people making jokes about them all of a sudden?
Chicken tenders. Breaded, deep-fried chicken strips. Somehow it's a neckbeard thing.
Somehow it's a neckbeard thing.
Specifically playing on the idea that neckbeards are maladjusted "man-children", and chicken nuggets/tenders are considered "kids' food". Popularized by 4chan greentext stories about basement dwelling neckbeards in their mid-twenties who can exchange "good boy points" with their mother in exchange for "tendies".
I don't care about the stereotype, chicken nuggets are the shit.
YEE I saw this one a while ago, but I like the other one more. Thanks loldamar I love you.
Unfortunately the GBP market is crashing now so this may well be the beginning of the end of the tendies.
I'm sitting in court trying to be quite but i read this and the thought of neckbeard manchildren only eating chicken tenders made me snort some kind of weird loud nose laugh
And for some reason, it tends to be the Mcdonalds tenders (which taste like crap).
Chicken tenders. It's part of a 4chan meme, mostly /r9k/. The goal is pretty much to write a greentext where the writer is a massively immature man child who relies on his mother for everything and throws tantrums and such. Baby talk is commonplace in the stories so you get words like tendies.
Late to the party here, choo choo.
Apparently it's the noise that frogs make when they are agitated.
Specifically, the increase in Jones probably relates to the drop in value of the pound (abbreviated GBP) which is also the abbreviation for good boy points, the currency used to buy tendies.

chicken tendies are one of the things that an adult manchild, that still lives with his parents, can buy with the good boy points he's been getting for doing his chores.
Besides the obvious 4chan meme you can easily look up or read here. Picky children only eat chicken tenders and french fries. Some of these children have grown up now. Their poor eating habits are criticized and mocked.
I know, I have a friend exactly the same.
Tendies in general predate the Bernie thing by far.
That's memetic appropriation and I find it offensive.
Tendies have been around at least since 2014.
The link proving you wrong is right here in this thread you dolt.
