We have all seen the graffiti. Scrawled in faded black ink on subway tiles, scratched into the paint of abandoned warehouse doors, or written in the condensation of a bathroom mirror at a party you shouldn’t have attended:

Assume it was written by the last person who almost forgot what their own mother sounded like. Some readers have emailed asking, “Is Dthrip real?” That is exactly the wrong question. The right question is: Why do you want to know so badly?

At first glance, it looks like a typo. A drunk tagger with shaky hands. A viral meme that died before it started.

Some argue it is an acronym ( Don’t Trust Human Remains In Plain sight ). Others believe it is a phonetic corruption of an old Nordic word for “the third step.”
