To be fair, that’s the last answer I’d expect. And she certainly could have been going through an all-black phase if necessary for herself.

You couldn't have known. She used to be a goth and wear all black, so not a horrible question to ask, just unfortunate timing.

Tell her you learned that joke from the White House staffer who mocked John McCain. It’s an offshoot of alt-comedy that probably isn’t going anywhere,

I want to say YDI until I remembered that I am the person who posted on someones facebook if they were still alive.... they were not.

YDI. People love to **** all over emos or goths, and not realize WHY they dress like that. For some it's not just a fashion sense, or phase. Some have legitimate mental illness like depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts etc and it's a way of coping or expressing themself. Dark colors to match their emotions and thoughts. Glad to see karma finally getting around to this issue.
