Quoting a male "influencer": "Some men put a woman on a pedal stool". The IT Crowd. Season 4, Episode 6, circa 2006 There's a whole running gag about being put on a pedal stool. In my humble opinion, the funniest show I've ever watched. Just ignore the US version though because it stinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how people can present themselves as "experts" without, obviously, knowing the definitions of the terms they use. If ya don't even know the spelling of words like "pedestal" or "codependent", how can you possibly know you're using the concepts correctly when you're giving people "relationship advice"? But correct 'em so they just might be able to find a fact, and all you get is braying "grammer nazty!!!" from the equally appallingly ignorant peanut gallery. PREACH IT, BROTHER ACE! Can I get a AY-men from the choir? We think and communicate in language. If one's language is not correct and precise, how can one's thinking or communication be correct and precise? But this is supposed to be the "funny" thread, so I guess I better post something funny lest I get put on Double-Secret Probation for ranting, Here ya go: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the correct expression is, "You can lead a gift horse to water, but you can't beat him dead in the middle of the stream." Or something like that. Hey, it ain't rocket surgery.

You can't make this stuff up. Well, it was a woman talking. She's probably literally "coat dependent". I've yet to meet a woman that doesn't wear a coat when the temperature drops below 80F. My wife looks like Kenny from South Park when the temperature drops into the 70s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best one along these lines I ever heard was someone was introduced as a Belgian, and someone else said, "So you speak fluent Belch, then?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, "VW" is shorter on paper than "Volkswagen." But spoken, "Vee-Double-U" is four syllables, and "Volkswagen" is only three. And easier to pronounce, to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually a bit on this very topic in "The IT Crowd", which is a hysterical British sitcom. Check this video at about 5:30. (Not endorsing this you tuber at all - he's terrible and I don't understand watching someone watch a show and making inane comments.) But the show is great!

Bugatti Fan Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Bill, I guess that Quora question by whoever asked it was made in either ignorance or arrogance that you shared with us. Obviously you could see the irony in it so we could all have a good laugh at it. As Quora is a question and answer site it would be interesting to see how it was answered. Hopefully not by someone with the same level of ignorance! Edited January 1 by Bugatti Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
