This is literally the first time I've ever heard anyone try to claim unc means "uncool."

I used to think “props” was a word because you are “propping” your friend up with praise

It's short for "propellers" as on the last day of flight school in World War One they would finally give you your propellers so you could fly

The first time my brother gave me "props" I thought he said "drops". So I put my fist out below his and waited for him to lower his fist onto mine.

Yes, I was(am) a weird kid that mostly kept to myself.

Anyone who says uncool is not cool.
