They also used the word “chug,” which is almost certainly an exaggeration to some degree, but it certainly implies more than two, IMO.

Having a drink to calm the nerves is one thing, but spending several minutes taking shots of vodka before a date sounds like straight-up alcoholic behavior. Unless OP is greatly exaggerating, either she has a massive tolerance, or she would end up a drunken mess in front of her date, which would probably be much worse than a case of the nerves.

Oh, that makes more sense. It’s a joke about the fog, then. If rain is God crying, then fog is God hitting the vape.

Edit: Looks like you got it at about the same time I did lol

What does “take a blinker” mean here? Guessing it’s a regional thing, I’ve not heard that one before.
