Don't Stop Coal Now!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

The speaker is bitter about the lack of kudos they have received, and is using 'kudo' to glaze it with a mere soupcon of black-humor-sarcastic-irony for emphasis.

I think you're giving too much credit to your hypothetical speaker.

They don't have to be doing it consciously though! That's part of the glory of language. They're using the word and grammar that feels like it works for what they want to say, and all the rest of it is automatic.

OP

Actually, no, that is spot-on why I did it.

A ayrt rt Thank you, not-hypothetical speaker, for confirming my hypothesis!
