Topic: Is the interjection 'in fact' one of Minichan's culturally-specific memes?

I've never seen it abused to the degree it is here. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, it's used for occasional emphasis to draw attention to a particularly salient point and that's about the extent of its use.

Yes, it is. Like quite a few Minichan phrases, it comes from Matt.

Syntax claims to have coined the phrase in 1262 while he was advising Thomas Aquinas on theological policy, and Matt's blatant theft and abuse of it is believed by experts to be the root cause of their feud.

@OP
Yes, it is, in fact, a minichan meemee.

Was this around the time he was advising the Mongol Empire on invasion policy?

I tried to force 'Cheers' as a conclusive greeting on the ATBBS-sphere, but it never caught on.

I'm not sure. I believe it is another Matt phrase, so possibly.

According to Minichan lore, and as verified by Aspergian historians, Syntax had beaten you to the chase 800 years ago, as usual, Matt.

Nice try though.

There's a reason that 'Matt' rhymes with 'mad'.

Please post an example of "Matt" rhyming with "mad" within a sentence. Thanks.

I don't think the word "rhyme" means what you think it means.
