When someone acts like they're smarter than everyone else by throwing around old, boring stuff no one cares about just to make themselves look cool and everyone else look stupid.

My cousin talked about a 1970s TV show no one knows about. I asked if it was still on. He said, 'It was on once, and that was enough.'

My teacher called the 1980s a 'lost decade' and then made us write an essay about it. I wrote 'It was a decade. It was lost. What's the point?'

My friend said 'It’s like the 1960s, but worse.' I said, 'You don’t know what the 1960s were like.' He said, 'I don’t care.'

So confusing it's like someone threw a dictionary at your brain and it didn’t help.

My mom said, 'I think you’re going to be okay.' I said, 'What does that mean?' She said, 'It means I don’t know.'

My math teacher explained a problem for 10 minutes. I said, 'Can you just give me the answer?' He said, 'No, I want you to understand it.'

My friend asked me what 'obscure' meant. I said, 'It means no one knows it.' He said, 'Then why are you telling me?'

The word that hipsters use when they want to sound cool and you don’t get it because you’re not a hipster.

My friend said, 'It’s so obscure.' I said, 'What’s that mean?' He said, 'It means you’re not cool.'

My teacher said, 'This is a very obscure reference.' I said, 'I don’t get it.' She said, 'That’s the point.'

I asked my friend what 'obscure' meant. He said, 'It means I’m better than you.'

When someone is so weird they might as well be a ghost. Like they’re not even trying to be cool, they’re just trying not to be you.

My neighbor’s dog walked into my house and started eating my cereal. I said, 'What’s going on?' He said, 'It’s just my dog.' I said, 'You didn’t even tell me about your dog.'

My friend said, 'I think I’m going to be a ghost.' I said, 'Why?' He said, 'Because I don’t want to be normal.'

I asked my friend why he was wearing a hat inside. He said, 'I’m trying to be mysterious.' I said, 'You’re not mysterious, you’re weird.'

A person who lies about stuff and makes it sound important when it’s not. They’re like the opposite of a truth-teller.

My teacher said, 'This is an obscure fact.' I said, 'What’s that mean?' She said, 'It means it’s important.'

My friend said, 'I know a secret about you.' I said, 'What is it?' He said, 'I don’t know.' I said, 'That’s not a secret.'

My mom said, 'I know everything.' I said, 'What do you know?' She said, 'I know the secrets of the universe.' I said, 'You don’t even know your own password.'

A thing that only one person has ever heard of, and even that person might have just made it up.

My friend said, 'This is the most obscure thing I’ve ever heard of.' I said, 'What is it?' He said, 'The 1990s.'

My teacher said, 'This is a very obscure reference.' I said, 'What is it?' She said, 'I don’t know.'

My friend said, 'I know something no one else knows.' I said, 'What is it?' He said, 'I don’t know.'

When your birthday is so unimportant it might as well not exist. Like your friends forgot it, your family didn’t care, and your cake was just a sandwich.

My birthday came and went. No one remembered. I said, 'Did anyone even know it was my birthday?' My friend said, 'No. We thought it was Tuesday.'

I had a birthday party and no one came. I said, 'Why didn’t anyone come?' My mom said, 'Because we forgot.' I said, 'We forgot my birthday?' She said, 'Yes. We forgot your name.'

I had a birthday cake, and it was just a sandwich. I said, 'This is not a cake.' My friend said, 'It is a cake. It’s a sandwich cake.'
