“You know enough to be dangerous”

It can be used as either an insult or a compliment.

Nobody ever gives the cow any credit…

I misread you as saying “Thanks late stage filesystem.” 🤣

A scifi short story I read was set in a somewhat idyllic future.

Robots did everything. Everyone was given housing, food etc. Health was covered and people lived virtually forever. Nobody worked, and you could travel and do anything you wanted.

The most prized thing, that everyone was desperate for, was having an original thought.

Worse still, no manual entry of the birth date, so it takes ages to scroll down and select the year.

That it’s never too late!

The ‘brands’ they are displaying.

I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?

But for me, it’s not judging them like you think.

I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and ‘fit in’, and a likely ‘keep up with the Jones’ jealous type.

So, I actually feel sad for them.

And, yes, I am aware it’s super judgemental and I’m no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.

SILENCE, PEASANT!

You will now work Saturday as well!

What should I have said?

"Wow, sadly I think it means that person has some serious mental issues, and we should get them some help.

Are you feeling okay? Do you want me to call someone for you?"

Does up=off for British light switches? That’s unhinged

It’s sensible. It stoos the electrons from falling out!

What one works for you?

y’all

I’m not British. I just inherited mostly their system.

TBH, i laugh about both.

Eg the english language is a joke. Laugh? Larf? Laff?.

That’s not sugar, buddy, that’s 100% American grown High Fructose Corn Syrup!

Seems to have deliberately taken the opposite path of anything British:

• Drive on the wrong side of the road
• The light and power switches are upside down
• Weights & measures. Imperial? Ha!
• Screw your English dictionary. Ima put z’s everywhere, drop the letter u and randomly pronounce words like buoy so you think there’s an animal in the water over there

It kinda makes me laugh to think about it as just anti-British 🤣

To what?

I can’t wait to use it tomorrow.

And overmorrow.

Eruction - A belch or burp

There could be some wild confusion if a New Zealander were to say “I’ve got a massive eruction building up” 😆

I was sure Harry Potter said it one time when he cast a spell.

SHEMOMEDJAMO!

Sesquipedalian: A user of big words

I like that saying sesquipedalian makes you sesquipedalian.
