Ive seen that / swim used as 'totally embarrassed that i was that dumb' before. I think its that?
Sure, but you still have to respect the form of the statement. You have to pretend that something happened to someone else.
For example: "How would someone remove a 4 1/2 inch cylinder that's stuck in an m&m minis tube. Asking for a friend."
Not: "I got my dick stuck in an m&m minis tube, how do I get it out? Asking for a friend."
Everyone knows that you're talking about yourself, but you're supposed to pretend that it's your friend who's the idiot.
Swim?
"somebody who isn't me", in a tongue-in-cheek way.
