So, I’m in Grad school right now. There’s only one fully sigated person in one of my classes. Day 1 I leaned over to him and said in my best Peter Griffin “We call you, normies”

Not sure if this is quite what you’re thinking of, but on my old team at work, there’s one colleague I refer to as our token sighted friend because the rest of the team are blind. The reversal of the status quo tickles me very much (and she called herself that first).

We tell people that our child is sighted, but we love her anywayy because she can't help it. We make much of how she can't identify things inside other things easily (medication through packaging, pull out just the right tin from a dark cupboard, identify the specific person through their walk on the floorboards upstairs and so on).
if one of our phones happens to be loud and a message comes in with the text-to-speech cranked way-up, of course we can both absorb it - even from across the room - faster than she can read it.
If i'm listening to audio-described TV in an earphone, I get on-screen subtitles faster than her too.

Circumstantial joke for me is when a sighted person walks into a dark room I'm in and says they can't see anything. Makes me laugh.
