What’s the funniest thing someone has said to you?

When I played high school football our coach used to tell us, “Way to be” any time we did something good. It became something of an inside joke. What does that saying even mean? Good, great, bad, terrible, it could be any or all of those. Perhaps it’s existential, as in way to BE or a way to exist? It’s such a perfect phrase and such a useless phrase, both at the same time. You can use it to describe anything and to mean anything. I love it. So, if you ever hear me saying “way to be” I’m probably trolling you.
