kayfabe is a good word and i should use it more often. despite the fact that i have negative two interest in wrestling.
i first learned it through an asshole who decided that since his character in ffxiv was a garlean, everyone should hate him ooc too, and wanted to go "mneh mneh kayfabe tho" whenever someone called bs on that. but kayfabe is too nice a word to be left in such dreary surrounds. i am hereby commandeering it
