The single most hyped piece of pop culture of the entire year (and yes I am including all Avengers-related content in this reckoning) – the clip for Ariana Grande’s ‘thank u, next‘ – got a teaser yesterday.

There’s so much gold here, from the fact that the jokes are actually good to the Mean Girls OG cast cameos, to the bit about Ariana breaking off her engagement to Pete Davidson.
But there is no moment more delightful than our very own Troye Sivan popping up and declaring:
“I heard she’s a lesbian now and dating some chick called Aubrey.” Then pausing and adding the most Australian seal of approval possible: “It’s f**cking sick.”

That, by the way, a reference to the fans who misheard the lyrics “Plus, I met someone else / We havin’ better discussions / I know they say I move on too fast / But this one gon’ last / ‘Cause her name is Ari” and thought Grande was talking about someone called Aubrey and not, you know, herself.
Awwwww.
But bless their hearts, a lot of presumably non-Australian fans were deeply confused by the meaning of “f**king sick”.

it's just another recent rumor that she was referencing. just like the pregnancy rumor and just like the h2gkmo meaning conspiracy.
also- i just realized that when troye said "that's fucking sick", he most likely meant sick as in cool because ari says sick a lot.— . (@pussyeehaw) November 27, 2018
Of course, because this is Stan Twitter, there are about four tweets misinterpreting it and four million going “uM troye is LITERALLY a MEMBER of the comMUNity fr what is going ON I’m -“.
YES !!!!! RANDOM BITCHES BE MAD AND ACTING LIKE TROYE KILLED SOMEONE BFEHSJSNSS

The only logical next step here is that “f**king sick” goes mainstream in the US thanks to this teaser.
You heard it here first – “sick” is going to be the new “lit”. Tell your dad.
