    Splitting the G refers to taking a perfect first sip of Guinness which I assume would indicate he’s actually straight.

    Splitting the G is where you take a big swig out of a glass of Guinness and perfectly put it between the ornate G in their logo.

    It's saying her gay best friend did something super masculine. Which, in the stereotype that gay men are effeminate, means you're realizing he's not actually gay.

    Or my personal version where we don't have to account for homophobia, this guy is now finding himself weirdly attracted to the gay friend who is a pretty cool guy.

    In hypothetical, they’d be “hanging out” with each other more often than she would with any overtly-straight guy friend… and… well, that’s basically it.

    It leans hard on the idea that in the heat of the moment, she wouldn’t care/would be less inclined to react negatively when the gay friend gets, I guess, touchy with her? Basically it demands that the GF doesn’t keep her guard up the same way and never puts 2 and 2 together (or, doesn’t care to, I guess).

    Practically, it’s stupid, but someone desperate might try it without sorting any sort of idea out.

    Pretending to be gay as in having effeminate mannerism and coming off as definitely NOT like the other guys = not a threat in the mind of the woman = she can let down her guard.

    The man pretending to be gay says all the right things, is emotionally intelligent, so on and so forth, to make her feel more comfortable and be more intimate with him (emotionally... But this opens the door, he intends to physical intimacy as well.)

    How?

    Part of the effeminate behavior is casually touching women in ways that a straight/traditionally more masculine man could not d/t her feeling (usually rightly so) that he wants something (i.e.: sex) from her.

    But an arm around the shoulder, playfully touching her arm there, maybe even a kiss of the cheek?

    All fair game for the "gay" guy.

    He's just "affectionate". He "doesn't mean anything by it" . 💅🏾

    Ofc, at some point, after the friendship is "cemented", he reveals his ploy with hopes that the bond is so strong she won't want to leave.

    Ofc, people tend not to like deception, so YMMV. 🤷🏾

    They gay guy in the meme is still gay, you're just so impressed by his splitting of the G that you have also become gay.

    Splitting the g is drinking from a glass of Guinness until the beer is right at the middle of the G. Hilariously enough I’ve only ever seen women do this. Then again I am a lesbian.

    Ah, but splitting the G actually is proof! You see Guinness tastes just like the gays' favorite food: ass.

    I have zero statistical proof to back this up, but I am almost 99% certain that gay men proportionately are much bigger alcoholics than men in general.

    And regular beer, lagers, ipas, etc. turns out “gay” doesn’t make you appreciate drinking any more or less.

    He is good at "splitting the G", which is finding the G-spot on the Guinness glass, which is where the letter G is located. But in men, the G-spot is in the butt, so if he is good at finding Gs, then damn, he gay. Arnold knows it.

    And people use this as.......a sign of masculinity? Somehow? I just don't understand what this is supposed to signify?

    Like with anything, doing it consistently requires practice. If you can constantly drink an exact amount of liquid, you must have practiced it quite a bit. Which means you’ve drunk a lot of beer. And yes, drinking beer is seen as masculine. Even if it isn’t actually inherently masculine, it’s certainly viewed that way.

    So is it just me or is the new internet generation making up lingo unnecessarily for every damn thing that a human can do or think!?

    I was there at the dawn of the internet really… Charlie the Unicorn, Stick Figures fighting each other, PowerThirst and all that, but we never spoke like ‘I’m so 2G1C right now…’

    I didn't know what "splitting the G" meant until I read the comments.

    I thought this meant that he fucked the gay friend to test if she was telling the truth, and immediately hit the G spot, realizing that he truly is gay.

    The joke is homophobia, but if I'm being generous it's probably a scared, internalised homophobia caused by the writer's crippling insecurities about their masculinity.... insecurities which are probably well founded since their bar for what "masculine" is is so pitifully low and weird.

    "Splitting the G" is new age kid slang for cutting a graham cracker crust pie perfectly in half. New age kids love graham cracker crust pies. The gay best friend cut the graham cracker crust pie so perfectly in half, or "split the G" that the Terminator (who new age kids also love) is looking at him with admiration and wondering how long he's been in the baked goods industry.

    Acting like gay people can't like Guinness is so weird. Like. . . Guinness is already kind of fancy for dudebro beer drinkers. The people I know who have liked Guinness have been about equally male and female and had some gay people among them. Personally I can't stand the shit, beer that's primarily bitter is trash.
