    I don’t expect you to get my reference. I expect the guy I replied to who made the reference to think it’s nice that I recognized his reference. You don’t need to participate in the exchange at all! An inside joke owes outsiders nothing.

      How is it an inside joke? Dude made a statement. You thought they were “paraphrasing a content creator” and asked “shoe?” as if everyone on this world would somehow find you saying “this content creator?” funny. It’s not a joke. It’s a bad reference to something she said about an entirely different thing. It isn’t a joke when someone tells a joke and someone asks “Ricky Gervais?”.
