If I asked someone "What is Wilson?" and they gave me THIS as an answer, I'd think they were insane.

I've always thought the 'Works Cited' meme crack pipe looks like a mushroom and yesterday I found the perfect one.

Well-understood phrases aren't meant to be broken down into their constituent words. Complaining about "Can I get..." in shops just sounds like pedantic teachers insisting on "May I use the bathroom". I guarantee you also say some things that don't make sense when taken literally

...if you ask "Do you have the time?" they could reply "Yes, I do". Even if you ask "Could you tell the time?" they could reply "Yes, I could". Obviously the word 'please' helps here, but the point of language is to be understood and if a phrase is clear then it's done its job.

Just randomly came across this tweet. First I read the text, then I clocked the date it was posted, then I saw who posted it.

People asking why Ultron in Vision Quest pronounces the Scottish capital as 'Edinboro' are missing the simple explanation: He's supposed to be evil.

Funny that Tesla and Ron Mael look so similar and are both famous for creating sparks

Just washed down some antibiotics with a probiotic drink and now I'm worried they'll cancel each other out.

Before I visited Corfu the first time I asked a friend what Greece was like - he told me everyone smoked, drove dangerously, looked older than they were and sang all the time. Then I realised he meant the John Travolta movie.

May be an unpopular opinion, but adaptations are their own thing and owe little to nothing to the source material. They may risk upsetting fans, but that's their risk to take.

The guys citing UK grooming gangs while excusing US frat house rapists have no idea that "These are just partying girls getting high" was exactly the same reasoning used to dismiss the grooming gang victims.

Watching several movies with 'National Lampoon' in their titles on UK TV as a kid in the 1980s confused me – they rarely had characters in common and never referenced what it was supposed to mean. Side note: Odd that Lorne Michaels never put SNL in the titles of spin-off films.

Something that's messed up is that if Barbie was scaled up to human size she'd be unable to physically give birth – she has no womb and is made of plastic.

We Brits make fun of the way Americans say Iran and Iraq as 'eye-ran' and 'eye-raq', but we do the same to Ibiza, even though the first syllable should be pronounced how we say Iran and Iraq.

One of several stupid things about Tucker Carlson saying "If Hitler won WW2 and you all spoke German, at least it's a European language" is thinks being forced to speak another language is preferable to just having to tolerate others speaking a different one.

...another stupid thing is that substantially more Brits have English as a first language than Americans - about 91% vs 78%. Would Tucker really prefer all languages in the US apart from German became banned? No - German for thee, not for me.
