Pardon my ignorance. When did it become acceptable to refer to yourself as HIM?

[Remote]

I remember watching The Kings of Comedy and Bernie Mac telling the story about milk and cookies.



"Him downstairs"
"Like who the fukk is Him? Like I ain't got no name?"
"Him downstairs..."

And now I'm seeing all these athletes and people referring to themselves as HIM as if it was a good thing and this whole time I thought that shyt was insulting.

This is actually one of the less egregious things they've managed to spin, I see no problem.

Careful you don't slip into Old Man Yells At Cloud territory.

Women started calling themselves “her” as in an it girl, and emotional men retaliated. It’s just like the soft life thing. Every time women come up with something, emotional men have to have some equal and opposite thing too.

Are you talking about the saying "I'm him" or something else?

 

[RippTheRuler]

Completely different context. "HIM" is a simile for "the man" it's not even used the same way a child would speak... Reach

He was quoting small children talking

Then you say “athletes” say it with no proof.


Some people refer to themselves in the third person. But I’m sure you never knew that.


Athletes have coined the phrase “I Am Him”. But that’s more of a slogan/slang term.


Stop being weird

It's not that serious. It's just another way of saying "I'm the man". Y'all don't watch football/sports?

I mean, thanks to the LGBT community, you could refer to yourself as Her if you feel. You can also use It and They. I think X is also an option

That one jumped from the LMNOP people to the social media babble collective, then spread everywhere since.
