Ropes
Ropes is the chat's longest-running and most-elastic running joke, beginning as a culinary metaphor about custard, expanding into a Troy meme, and culminating in the May 13, 2026 'rope girth' arc.
Ropes
Ropes in the Newfound Glory Hole refers to a long-running joke complex that has, since February 2026, sustained itself across at least four distinct subgenres without losing internal consistency. As of this writing the corpus contains ten separate canonical Ropes citations.
Subgenres
Custard ropes (February 26, 2026)
The earliest occurrence is a piece of culinary registry by Evan Bbbender:
"Now do ropes of custard."
Followed immediately by Kyle Derrick:
"I'll show you some ropes of custard."
This pair establishes ropes as a metaphor flexible enough to enter food discourse and exit it again as innuendo within the same exchange.
Troy rope (March 30, 2026)
On March 30, 2026, Cullen Conway proposes a logistical innovation for an upcoming trip:
"Next boys trip we just bring a rope."
The proposal was answered, almost immediately, by Max Lieberman in his single most-quoted message in the corpus:
"You can do that on Airbnb now but they make you clean the blood/vomit from the rope and have the GALL to charge a rope cleaning fe[e]."
Cullen then named the resulting concept:
"Troy rope."
The name has not since been used, but is preserved as the only formally proper-noun rope in the corpus.
Blasting rope (March 30, 2026)
Kyle Derrick, minutes later, in three syllables:
"Blasting rope."
Rope girth (May 13, 2026)
The most ambitious recent contribution comes from Kyle Derrick on May 13, 2026, in the course of the Dog Testicle Discourse:
"I want to increase my rope girth."
"Diameter?"
"I want fatter ropes."
Daniel Miller's tapback-bait — "That guy was trying to shoot ropes" — generated the day's most-reacted single response (a Cullen Conway 😂 tapback).
