The most chaotic memory I have from middle school was in the locker room before gym class. A kid said, "oh we're playing dodgeball today? Fuck yeah."

Then he put his gym shirt over the top of a can of axe body spray, inhaled a truly shocking amount

, & then punched a locker.

My brain cannot understand this phrase, I can't picture it, is it just me?

The first part is just a kid being exited for a game.

Second part is him using shirt as a filter for the aerosol can so he could get high of the gas.

Third part, because of being high and having problems at home, he then released some energy by damaging school property.

Were you in middle/high school at the turn of the millennium? Because this didn't just draw a mental picture for me, it brought back memories.

[–] DirtPuddleMisfortune@feddit.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

I could smell it.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Memories you lost because of how much axe you inhaled?

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ha, I've probably destroyed a brain cell or two, but was never an ace guy. NOS? Different story, but that was after high school, so I was on the downhill anyway by that point.

You build a little tent with your gym shirt, spray it full of delicious Axe body spray aerosol so it's nicely contained in said little fabric tent. Continue by poking your head into the tent and inhale deeply.

delicious

Axe body spray

Come off it, no one bought Axe for the flavour.

Does it get you high? Is it just oxygen deprivation? Or is it a weird thing middle schoolers did for no reason?

Shirt presumably already on his body, he put his face in the gym shirt, put the axe in the gym shirt and then sprayed, huffing the sharp smell, like he was getting high

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's ambiguous. It could very well be that his body spray and shirt are in a little heap on the floor somewhere while he is topless and taking a big deep gulp of plain ol' locker room air.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, its to get fucked up. If you catch the actual liquid part the lift gas is all that is left and it's usually propane or butane so if you huff it you'll get a bit fucked up.

He is wearing the shirt, pulls his head inside like a turtle, and sprays the axe deodorant spray inside (presumably from the bottom opening).
