The semester is starting back up and i’m terrible at speaking words.

This doesn’t have to be aimed at college students, just conversation starters anywhere would be very much appreciated.

    ‘That’s the third best t-shift I’ve ever seen! I MUST have it!’, or what how could you picture if being said wrong?

      “I must have it!” or “where can I get one?” is a good addition, makes it clear you’re paying attention to the shirt, not what’s under it.

      (Edit to add, the same words can come off different depending on who’s talking to whom. For example, a guy compliments another guy’s new shoes and adds, “I bet you can run really fast in those!” It’s a funny nostalgic meme reference. The same sentence to a random girl, she’s starting to wonder if she’ll be running from him…)

      I know you’re following up on previous comments but to me, adding “third” feels a bit clickbaity, and also a bit backhanded, like you’re starting an argument rather than a conversation.
