What is up with this saying?

Question

Why do EMO people always say, "Remember down the street not across."

I have cut but I cut in alot of diffrent ways but what is up with that saying?

Answer 1

I'm just guessing but I think it means when you cut yourself to go up and down not go across aka slit your wrists.

Cutting yourself doesn't solve any problems. Maybe temporarily you feel better but in the long run it doesn't get you anywhere. You deserve to be happy.

Answer 2

    If you cut "down the street" you'd be cutting down your arm. which would be hitting a major vein and you would eaisily bleed to death SO DONT DO IT!!

    Most people who cut themselves do it "across the street" as in across your wrist. which will def make you bleed quite a bit but your important vein is being protected by the tendon you can see there.

    So when people say "remeber, down the road not across." theyre really just being *******. and you should prolly kick their ***.

    Another saying is "i wish my grass were emo so itd cut it self" but that ones been tossed around so much i think ive seen it on t shirts.

Answer 4

"Down the street" means down your arm, like slicing your arm from your wrist to your inner elbow. "Across" means across your wrist, from left to right or right to left. If you are trying to commit suicide apparently the best way to do it is "down the street" rather than "across." I'm not encouraging this at all, just trying to answer your question.

Answer 5

.... honestly i dont know..

maybe you shouldnt ask this here.. I used to cut and I don't think this is the place to ask something like that..
