We had a resurgence of tennis shoes in Quebec about a year ago but now nobody wants to talk about it.

Another time where someone posts in the Stuff You Cant Believe You Just Figured Out thread without doing research. I have personally witnessed at least 3 witches flying through tilted windows.

I think the confusion is over whether we're talking about witches as "mythological female masters of dark arts" or "high priestesses of Wiccan covens".

Because I can't possibly see any of the latter being able to fit themselves through a window of that size.

Well that's ignoring that there are really two types of Wiccans...the aforementioned hambeast type and the weird and tiny ones who tend to have some sort of autoimmune disorder like Crohn's disease or Sjögren's syndrome.

I used to think that footage was from an earlier movie of his like maybe 10 years ago that I hadn't seen until I saw Interstellar last month. He looks younger than he is to me in that clip.

Hitachi magic wands or w/e are probably the best sex toys ever made.

Problem is when you find one out in the wild at nana's house.

Just one question, though. Is there a way to take off my pants?
Lifehack: You can use a Hitachi as both a vibrator and a back massager!

Just make sure to clean it between uses.

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.
For a bit of etymology that isn't questionable for a change, "fortnight" has precisely jack to do forts, and in reality is basically just a contraction of "fourteen nights."

I'm only 30% ashamed that I identified one of the "totally not a vibrator" massagers from otherwise-forgotten porn or camwhore stream from my early 'holy poo poo I have The Internet' phase.

You can press the number keys to jump to absolute positions (X/10) in a video on YouTube. 5 is exactly halfway, etc.

An extension I use for Chrome - HoverZoom - pops up images when mousing over an image link. I just found out today that when the link is to an imgur gallery, you can scroll through the gallery. I now wonder how many china.jpg galleries I missed because I just saw one image and didn't know it was a gallery.

That "Camus" is supposed to be pronounced "ka-moo". Now I can't take it seriously because I imagine it said the way Billy Connelly says "We're going to Peru!" in a Series of Unfortunate Events.

You know that new South Park game coming up? Fractured but Whole?

Only yesterday, when someone laughed at the name, did I realise it's a very obvious pun.

Yeah... "Wait, it's funny? Fractured but-ooooooh, yeah, that's funny."

In my defense, English isn't my native language and I'm not an auditory reader, but still, I'm kind of ashamed how I missed something that obvious.

I am a native English speaker, and it took me a second because "but" is not normally pronounced the same way as "butt".

Australian English too as far as I know, and that's where Tiggum's from I think. :shrug:

I didn't just figure this out, but it took me a while to realise that "arse" was a thing, and the proper spelling in Brit English. I saw "rear end" written first because of American cultural osmosis and assumed only pronunciation was different.

If you want to make someone feel stupid:
"Uh, wages have been falling for 40 years."

If you want to politely point out an oversight:
"Er, wages have been falling for 40 years."

It turns out that the second version started out as just the British spelling, and Er was pronounced with a soft r, like Uh. After seeing it in print, people sometimes say "Er."

It's definitely worth a try, my vibrator back massager has relieved a lot of pain in my back and even helps with cramps, stomachaches and headaches. For back pain it's better if you can get someone else to hold it on you, though, so you're not having to contort yourself. A heat pad might also help those muscles relax.

Better yet, get a massage!

The vowel sound in "butt" is clearly pronounced but in "but" it's de-emphasised and the whole word is rushed over. If you were taking care to pronounce it clearly they'd sound the same, but in the normal way people speak they're different.

Normal people 'round these parts pronounce things clearly. :colbert: Butt sounds the same as but - the difference in pronunciation is almost imperceptible, if it exists at all.

Says Google:
butt:
/bʌt/

but:
/bʌt,bət/

Same first pronunciation.
