Yeah the Grease thing is a joke that Frenchy got her name from ‘French kissing’. I took the other one as, his eye drops (or more like his eyelid!) from exhaustion and/or from drinking alcohol when partying so hard 🤷‍♀️

Frenchy was about French kissing, presumably she was called that because she did it frequently, easily, or well. The ONLY THING I can think of for eye drop is “I drop?” Like “I drop” when I party because he’s getting intoxicated and passing out? Definitely a stretch, but it’s my best guess!

I never played Crush! or Mack!, but I distinctly remember being part of a middle school RPG on AOL Kids Only when I was in elementary school. It was exhilarating.

And I think "Frenchy" is a reference to French kissing. No idea what that other one is though.

I think the eye drop thing is like when he parties his eyes drop down to look a girls’ boobs or butts. Sorta like an “I only objectify women when I party too hard! HAHAHAH” Not funny but it is meant to be catered towards men 🤷‍♀️

Ooh Mara, I’ve bought your audiobook, ‘Where Am I Now’. I need some distraction from the public health crisis going on atm. I’m so excited to listen to it on my commute to work tomorrow (I’m a key worker). Stay safe

Is it not that maybe his eyes drop as in look down? Like at someone's boobs or something? Idk.

Yes! New post! I took the eye drop joke as very basic, like “when I party too much my eyes tear up too,” as if she were crying from partying, and not from her boyfriend leaving her. Who knows?

I see 80s remakes are on the agenda for the Fake BBC!
