GAINING WEIGHT... posted:The phrase, "bet your bottom dollar" means to bet the last of your money, and has nothing to do with your rear end. Your rear end is what you bet after you lose your bottom dollar.

Traditionally people would keep a dollar in their bottom so if they were robbed they had some money on (or in) them.

I work in a video store. When Gone Girl dropped it was huge: people asked about that movie every day for weeks; I handled the movie and the materials for it every day. That was all months ago, but I still see the cover of the DVD and the poster of it every day. This is the poster:  I just now saw the giant floating eyes in the background.

 "BP Ultmate". I guess it's a pretty well designed logo because that one dot has had me always mentally inserting an "i" without even realising.

I'd always heard the saying "The sun never sets on the British Empire" thinking that the British Empire is never gonna end or whatever, but it's because it spanned the entire globe and is always daytime somewhere.

Apparently "Netflix and chill" means "staying home and loving." I just thought people were meaning they wanted to stay home and watch TV or whatever, I couldn't figure out why the gently caress anyone needed a special term for that.

It's just the modern equivalent of "oh hey why don't you just come cover to mine and watch a DVD". No great mystery.

KM Scorchio posted:It's just the modern equivalent of "Come up and see my etchings". No great mystery. FTFY you ignoramus  The French have an interesting equivalent - viens voir mes estampes japonaises, or "come see my Japanese prints." See, 19th-century white people - especially the French - were crazy about Japan, and a lot of those people collected Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. The prints were a major influence on Impressionist artists:  Père Tanguy (1887), by Vincent Van Gogh Inviting someone to see your Japanese prints basically signals that you are a classy person who likes art and sex, but doesn't want to come out and say "hey, let's bone." Also some of those prints were very pornographic. (GIS "shunga" for some  examples.)

I was semi-joking (the stamps are probably a danish urban legend), but tbh the worst part was that short period where literally "you wanna be together" meant both "you wanna just hang out and play with hemans or turtles" but also it meant "do you wanna have teenage sex" sometimes you needed clarification on there.

Maybe I was just a huge loser, but when I was 14, me and my friends were playing grand theft auto and downloading pictures of tits on a lovely dial up internet connection. I don't recall action figures or sex at that age. I know it happens, but it can't be that common.
