Met an american today, whose shirt said *ᵖᶦˢˢ ᵒᶠᶠ* .. Brought me to ask myself, how many people that I know actually believe or even stand firmly .. by what their T-shirt says, asks, proclaims.
Some prowl shops until they find a piece with a motto/slogan they love, some have them made to custom……
What’d you say? How many outta 100 random folks would sign their name under what there is on their shirt? 🙂

It’s considered pretty trashy by most people but you’ll see aggressive things like that on t-shirts sometimes
A lot of them are just jokes. I’ve had some over the years. That said, if someone’s advertising that they’re an asshole or edgelord, I think it’s reasonable to believe them until they act otherwise.
I recently bought [this shirt](https://dashare.zone/listing/look-like-shit-DA-SHARE-Z0NE?product=369) and I stand by it wholeheartedly.
And no I probably won’t wear it outside the house but it does make me laugh.
Most of my t-shirts are band or brewery t-shirts. I stand by all of them.
I had a shirt that said “Captain ‘Merica” on it and had a pic of a white trash dude with a mullet wearing a superhero mask.
I would 100% stand by that when I wore it.
I’m wearing a band T-shirt and I firmly stand with it
Did you ask the guy? It would have been much easier if you’d asked him lol
Lots of people wear tshirts that exude their preferred identity, versus their actual identity. This is likely especially true for people who wear “badass” tshirts.
It depends. I have one that mentions “God’s Wish” and I’m not religious in any way. Or if the phrase is funny, I might get it.
But mostly, yeah.
If I’m wearing a tshirt, it’s because it’s soft. I don’t even care what it says. It just has to be soft. 😅
My favorite t-shirt proclaims: I randomly break out in show tunes!
It’s 100% true and I stand behind it. I’d even defy gravity for it, or join in a crusade, or rally the banner… I dare say I’d even put a monkey on a pedestal for it.
If I wear a band shirt, I can usually name three songs.
I only have two I can think of.
“DB Cooper’s Skydiving School” and “Taft Sherman ‘08.”
I’d stand behind them. No question.
Types of shirts I have (with print/message):
1. Band shirts from concerts.
2. Minnesota Vikings shirts.
3. Shirts from places I’ve been (skit resorts, national parks, etc.)
4. I have one political shirt, it says:
Seinfeld and Costanza – A Campaign About Nothing. (I get the updated year every election. I just ordered my 4th one).
I stand by all of these shirts.
Outside of this I have Nike polos that with Kirkland plain white T-shirts under them for work. There isn’t much to stand by here, it’s as casual as I’m allowed to be and still look “professional”.
I have a t-shirt that says, “If my mouth doesn’t say it, my face definitely will.”
This is a 100% true statement about me. You will nearly always know what I am thinking by the look on my face. It takes concentration to control my facial expressions
I also have a shirt that says something about hustles and coffee. I don’t hustle, and I don’t drink coffee. I just thought it was cute when I bought it.
I’m wearing a shirt from a university I didn’t go to. Does that count?
I generally wear funny T-shirts. Over of my favorites says:
“So ends another week of me not winning the lottery.”
A lot of shirts are jokes, puns, etc. You got shirts that actually have meaning and people do stand by, but those are usually easy to figure out. People wear shirts that have their hobbies, favorite bands, cars, sports, etc. Then you got your faketriots and wannabe gangsters that wear all kinds of super pro-US I’ll stomp your ass no step on snek shirts but have never actually spent a day in uniform actually volunteering to fight for this country. A lot of all talk, no action types.
I 100% stand by whatever I’m wearing, saying, and doing.
Most of my t-shirts are either from running race events or gifts from family or friends.
Used to wear a T-shirt in high school with a car stuffed in a jar and the caption read “happiness is a tight pussy”. I stand by that 100%.
My husband is in a wheelchair. He just got a tshirt that shows the international handicapped symbol but he’s fallen out of the chair. It says “crap” underneath it.
He would stand by that tshirt but he mainly sits by it.
I work retail. One day a local math teacher came in and walked up to my counter wearing a shirt that said “my password is the last 8 digits of pi.” I laughed at it, and asked him how many of his students got the joke, and he shook his head and said not only do the high school students not get it, his adult colleagues don’t either.
I personally am not going to wear something I don’t agree with or stand by and I guess I assume (rightly or wrongly) that others are the same way. It doesn’t really make sense to me to literally advertise a statement, or brand, or what have you, on your clothing if it’s not something you agree with.
I have a shirt that says “Ranch Slut” and I fully stand by it. Although I don’t wear it in public because it’s definitely not the kind of shirt you’d wear outside.
Well I have a shirt that says “some day we’ll all be dead” and I certainly stand by that
I stand by 100% of my tee shirts, hard to say bout a national-level
Most of my shirts are just colors or abstract patterns.
Honestly, I think most people who buy shirts with those kind of slogans on them originally thought they were funny, and at some point they continue to wear it because it’s what’s clean in their pile of clothing.
Words on my Tees are usually pop culture references that I like. Or jokes/statements that I 100% stand behind/have said myself before.The shirt that got me the most attention was during the 2016 election year I wore a very presidential campaign-looking tee that said 2016 Obi wan KENOBI Our only hope
I loved that shirt and I wore it almost every weekend that year. and I still wear it ever so often. it just really encompassed how I was feeling that year. And by how many people came up to me just to tell me they loved my shirt, they understood it as well.
All my T-shirts are from places I’ve been. I have one shirt with a message. It says, ‘Beach better have my money.’ with a picture of a guy holding a metal detector. I’ll stand behind that, I guess. I also have a Kum & Go shirt, which takes on a whole different meaning if you’re not familiar with this wonderful chain of Midwestern convenience stores.
Some ppl who come to my place of work. . . Hooooo they _are_ a piece of work based on what their shirt says
T-shirts printed with oddball or transgressive messages are usually worn as ironic statements. This is especially so if the message is completely devoid of context. The wearer is trying to tweak the sensibilities of others by wearing them, or is wearing the shirt as a visual joke, or is intentionally portraying a stereotype in order to be sarcastic and _”épater les bourgeois”_ (shock others who are excessively prim and straight-laced). Sometimes the jokes are “really not funny,” or else they are old, stale, and overdone.
“Really not funny” is a stock phrase employed as a euphemism for “inappropriate, and objectively offensive.”
