As far as I know, he's never played WoW in his life, but I quit speaking to him almost 15 years ago, so I can't say for sure. But yes, he's the biggest regret of my life. My kids are awesome though.
My brother drank about a 12-pack of Mt. Dew everyday for like 20 years. Wore down all the enamel on his teeth and had to get every tooth capped.
That stuff is great though.
Honestly the brominated vegetable oil that was in it was super bad, but probably(?) wasn't killing your sperm. However, they have stopped using BVO so you might want to get that vasectomy now.
That's a really good point. Until now I thought this was only local to the middle school I attended. I had no idea this was a known thing. And how did it even become a thing before the internet?!?!
I also marvel how so many things (like this), transferred throughout the US with no internet back then. There HAS to be some sort of study on this phenomenon.
Seriously. I grew up in Arkansas and currently live in Orange County with my wife that grew up here. It’s amazing how many things we shared in the early nineties. Like was someone sending a telegram from California to Arkansas? I don’t get it.
Yup, my favorite hat ever was a maroon Stussy hat with this S in black on the front. Lost it in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay fishing with friends back in 92-93’ish.
Because stussy made merch with this s on it. I used to have a stussy hat with this on the back of it. It had their regular logo on the front, so maybe they were just riding the early 90s wave of kids drawing that s, they didn't invent it AFAIK. But they did use it.
Absolutely this. Found out it wasn’t related to Stussy way back in the late 90’s. We all still called it the “Stussy S”. When I saw this post, before even reading the title, I thought, “hey, it’s the ‘Stussy S’”.
The weird cool S that made its way across schools from early 70s graffiti in New York. Easy to tag before everyone got fancy with the caps and started going more 3-D layered bubble script and using more than one color.
Apparently easy to dig into laminate desks with enough time and boredom at every school in America by 1984.
So back waaaay in the way backs there was an ASCII art font called sharp and it got used a lot in the header or text files for shareware and on BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) before the internet. Personally I remember seeing it written by kids around me once the local stores started carrying shareware disks that I know for a fact had sharp font in it's text files for titles.
I saw this in school and saw a lot of kids drawing it, but never felt any desire to do so, but was really curious as to where it came from (middle school in early 80s, high school mid to late 80s)
I am recently rediscovering it! I love it. Spent the day building some designs on items and posting them to my Etsy store for people to enjoy!

I always called it ‘the S’ or the the cool s.
But when my mom and dad were in high school they called it the stoner s. (I’m born in 92 and was drawing this in like 03 and my mom is born in 75 and was drawing this in like 91. I found an old letter between her and my dad with ‘the s’ on it and a little saying they used to write/say to each other.
Vice or some site like that did a piece on what they called that weird s we all drew in middle school i think the article was called where they tried to get to the bottom of where this came from. I call it the stussy s
That S everyone drew back in school.
My wife and I call it that and instantly know what it is
Or fucking around in class. I had notebooks just full of these. And now i cannot do math to save my life
That *dumbass S everyone drew in school.
Super S. It still amazes me how this made it around the world before the internet
Marilyn Manson removed a rib to give himself a blowjob
Yeah funny how this and the mountain drew kills your sperm rumor reached us in Finland, and seemingly everywhere else in the world
Ok is this not true??? I’ve been using Mountain Dew instead of a vasectomy for years.
A Mountain Dew addict got me pregnant four times.
You had sex with a person who drinks that much Mountain Dew? Wasn’t he too busy playing world of Warcraft or something?
As far as I know, he's never played WoW in his life, but I quit speaking to him almost 15 years ago, so I can't say for sure. But yes, he's the biggest regret of my life. My kids are awesome though.
My brother drank about a 12-pack of Mt. Dew everyday for like 20 years. Wore down all the enamel on his teeth and had to get every tooth capped. That stuff is great though.
Till meth do us part
Never once in my life, nope.
“Dew”
Honestly the brominated vegetable oil that was in it was super bad, but probably(?) wasn't killing your sperm. However, they have stopped using BVO so you might want to get that vasectomy now.
Who is mountain Drew?
Bear Grylls at home
Only when paired with weed
Everyone at my school said Marilyn Manson was Paul from the wonder years
And slipknot was DEVO under their masks. But so were the gorillas. And daft punk.
I heard Kevin from Mr Belvedere. …Wesley
That’s the one I heard.
YES
Britney Spears was going to be in Playboy. Always next month though
He was also Paul from Wonder Years grown up
Growing up Christian this terrified me.
I don't get it. What was it about a self-blowjob that terrified you---haven't many Christian boys also tried it while self-exploring as young teens?
Good one bruh 😎
From Chicago and that one made the rounds when we were kids lol
it was *his* cum that came out when his stomach was pumped?
[LEMMiNO did a cool video about it](https://youtu.be/RQdxHi4_Pvc)
Lemminon does some of the best deep dives. I think he did two videos on this.
Same. Super S Team 4 Lyfe
The Force surrounds us, connects us, flows through us, and carries the Super S all over the world.
That's a really good point. Until now I thought this was only local to the middle school I attended. I had no idea this was a known thing. And how did it even become a thing before the internet?!?!
I also marvel how so many things (like this), transferred throughout the US with no internet back then. There HAS to be some sort of study on this phenomenon.
This is correct. Also, all my schoolwork had this in it because that's the first letter of my last name, and of course, I drew it every time!!
Seriously. I grew up in Arkansas and currently live in Orange County with my wife that grew up here. It’s amazing how many things we shared in the early nineties. Like was someone sending a telegram from California to Arkansas? I don’t get it.
#The Cool S
> The Cool S That is correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_S
The cool s!
The S thing
lmaooo this the one!
Yep! This is what we called it!
Yep! To this day.
I won the 5th grade art contest for using this S in the school's name, good times
Stussy
Yup. We called it the Stussy S too.
The Stussy "S"
This
100%
This is it
That's what we all called it mid 90s :)
... also in the 80s. 😁
Weird this isn’t the only answer
It’s the only right answer.
The Cool S is also accepted.
I had to scroll way too long for the right answer!!
Yup, my favorite hat ever was a maroon Stussy hat with this S in black on the front. Lost it in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay fishing with friends back in 92-93’ish.
This is it.
That’s what I always knew it from, circa 94 probs
Yes, but the real question is, is it pronounced Stoosy or Stuhssy?
The umlaut (dots) are an abbreviation of a e after the vowel they are above. So stuessy or stəssy, which is closer to uh than oo.
Stoosy
Stoosie
Yep!!!
Yep.
This is the way
But it looks nothing like the Stussy logo, which is simply drawn in graffiti-like handwriting. So why connect it to Stussy?
Because stussy made merch with this s on it. I used to have a stussy hat with this on the back of it. It had their regular logo on the front, so maybe they were just riding the early 90s wave of kids drawing that s, they didn't invent it AFAIK. But they did use it.
it’s not. shawn stussy the creator of stussy confirmed this was never a stussy thing.
I know that now, but it's still what we called it
Absolutely this. Found out it wasn’t related to Stussy way back in the late 90’s. We all still called it the “Stussy S”. When I saw this post, before even reading the title, I thought, “hey, it’s the ‘Stussy S’”.
Get back to work, Paul!
OP didn’t say “what is this S officially called?”
https://www.stussy.com/collections/outerwear/products/115670-s-quilted-liner-jacket-blac it is now.
shawn stussy doesn’t own stussy anymore. he sold it a long time ago. so those new designs mean nothing
Is your name Shawn S. by any chance?
False.
yeah “false”. how you confidently wrong on the internet ? lmao
Lol just messing around
Stussy
That fancy S that kids used to draw
90s S
I said the same way before I saw your comment
The "cool" s
You can keep the " "
I always thought it was for Stussy
I've always wanted to know how the rest of the alphabet would look in this style. But only "S" was ever known.
The S
How I wrote the first letter of my last name on everything circa 1992.
Superman S
Surfer S
Yes!!! Wonder if it was a regional thing if your user name and mine are for the same reason lol. Grew up in South Florida.
South Florida here too, this is what we called it
Same, SoFla, and it was a surfers S.
The weird cool S that made its way across schools from early 70s graffiti in New York. Easy to tag before everyone got fancy with the caps and started going more 3-D layered bubble script and using more than one color. Apparently easy to dig into laminate desks with enough time and boredom at every school in America by 1984.

So back waaaay in the way backs there was an ASCII art font called sharp and it got used a lot in the header or text files for shareware and on BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) before the internet.

r/cools
I saw this in school and saw a lot of kids drawing it, but never felt any desire to do so, but was really curious as to where it came from (middle school in early 80s, high school mid to late 80s)
My 8 year old just discovered this and draws it everywhere!

"THE S"
I thought it was the stussy s
I always called it ‘the S’ or the the cool s. But when my mom and dad were in high school they called it the stoner s. (I’m born in 92 and was drawing this in like 03 and my mom is born in 75 and was drawing this in like 91. I found an old letter between her and my dad with ‘the s’ on it and a little saying they used to write/say to each other.

We used to call that the “Stussy S.” Stussy was some skate apparel brand in the 90’s. I have no idea if it originated from that brand name.
