Still don’t know what fortnite is about

Like. Supposedly it’s really popular? The numbers don’t lie. But I haven’t seen or heard a single person actively talk about or recommend it. It’s got that weird combination of incredible success and zero cultural impact.

SDV as John Mulaney quotes

Vincent: I have had a very long day. I am very small and I have no money. So you can imagine the kind of stress I am under.

Elliot: One feels like a duck splashing around in all this wet, and when one feels like a duck, one is happy.

Pam: This is an on-fire garbage can. …Could be a nursery.

Farmer: Excuse me, I’m new in town and it gets worse.

Sebastian: You know how I’m filled with rage? I’m so horny and angry all the time and I have no outlet for it.

Sam: My Dad loved us. He just didn’t care about our general happiness or self esteem.

Harvey: I look like I was just sitting in a room in a chair eating Saltines for like 28 years and then I walked right out here.

Haley: When I walk down the street, I need everybody, all day long, to like me so much.

Emily: Sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all.

Alex: Ah…numbers. The letters of math.

Shane: I also don’t want me to be doing what I’m doing.

Bonus:

Farmer, holding an antique bottle: Is this whiskey or perfume?

Shane: *grabs the bottle and drinks the whole thing*

Shane: It’s perfume.

  1. Can we as millennials and gen-z’s collectively agree that NObody Cares about elbows on the table like Why was that Ever A Problem for Anyone?? We can chill right?

nobody asked for this but the origin of not putting one’s elbows on the table comes from the late 18th/early 19th century when wooden ships were still used in the navy- sailors would balance their plates between their elbows while eating to keep them from sliding around. because sailors developed a reputation on-land for being uncouth and aggressive, the placing of elbows on the table became associated with such behaviour.

some cultural historians believe it also goes back further, to the middle ages, when large banquet-style meals were served on trestle tables that had no side support. if someone put their elbows on the table, they risked bringing the whole table down with them.

so basically, there is no longer any need to NOT put elbows on the table, and there hasn’t been since the advent of steamships.

I love this because now i can smartass the next person who tries to give me shit for it

i don’t know if this origin is true or not, but it remains pertinent because of how much real estate you’re taking up. in a banquet type situation, where you’ve got lots of people at a long table and several courses worth of silverware, chances are you’re putting your elbows in someone else’s table setting. which is pretty rude.

like most etiquette rules, ‘no elbows on the table’ is silly when taken as an Unbreakable Universal Commandment, but pretty sensible when taken as something to keep an eye on in social settings.

… and there’s also the reason my mom gave me for the rule when i was a kid, which was, “jesse, you just got your sleeve in the butter again.”

it’s a fair point.

weird how people say “ice rink” even though thers like no other type of rink. also more importantly what the fuck is a rink 

roller rink……

clearly a “rink” is any sort of zone where you move around in strange footwear

Origin of rink: 1325-75; Middle English (Scots) renk: area for a battle, joust, or race / Middle French, renc.

meet me in the fucking renk

“chuffed doesnt mean what you think it means”

image

it means exactly what i think it means its just some stupid word that literally has two definitions that mean the opposite thing

what the hell

This makes me really chuffed

This post is quite egregious

Well I’m nonplussed by this whole post.

goddamnit.

all of you go to hell

And you wonder why i am boggled at times

These are called contronyms! A word that is its own opposite.

Why the fuck do these exist

One theory is that the sarcastic use of the word became exceedingly prevalent and because another dictionary definition. 

Are you telling me that we were such sarcastic shits it literally changed our language.
