Startling
Starting (remove the l)
Staring (remove one t)
String (remove the a)
Sting (remove the r)
Sing (remove the other t)
Sin (remove the g)
In (remove the s)
I (remove the n)

ARGHAHAHAHA

OF COURSE.
i was trying to go starling (remove the t) first. it was not going well.

Couldn't you just do starling to staring as I did above? I don't think removing the t or l first matters as long as they are the first two removed.

I see that reference all the time, but I have no idea where it came from (Teen Wolf? I see it most there) or what it means. Help?

it is basically teen wolf related. there is this this article that started it, and its such a popular article that its extended to the whole fandom.

DON'T READ PAST POINT #3 OR SO THOUGH BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD BE SPOILED AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE JUST IN CASE YOU WATCH IT.

I still don't understand why potato, but I'll go with it.

I also didn't read past point three, although the odds of me watching the entire show are so ridiculous that it is just a hairsbreadth on this side of "never". :P

:D YES.

Apparently you are! :D

I've heard it pretty much solely either in relation to Teen Wolf and/or from people who watch Teen Wolf, so that makes sense.

:P
