It goes back pretty far, I think. I grew up hearing it and I still use it.

It’s especially cringey to say “the U” because nationwide “the U” is Miami.

Except no one in Miami calls it the U. It’s UM.

Which is the dumbest thing ever, but hey, it's Miami and it minimizes Utah.

If Utah struggles w/ their national identity, think about Miami (OH)’s struggle.

It’s normal for everyone who grew up in Utah. Not cringy at all.

So maybe it's growing up in Utah that is cringy. Got it. My poor kids.

I prefer to say uu. In high school we called it the u of u. 'Cringy' is cringy.

Hey, at least I didn't say "cringe". That would have been cringe-worthy.
