It's a really really old meme copy pasted from a game faqs post. It's probably well over a decade old at this point I actually couldn't find the full text of the original post with a quick Google search but someone might be able to, I'm on mobile right now or I'd do a deeper dive.

There is a franchise of hipster haircut places in my area called "Bishops". Their main competitor is called "Rooks". I'm gonna start one called "The Castle Maneuver".

Tarp (the big waterproof thing you put over stuff) is short for tarpaulin. Just learned this from a Hollyweed article.

It was named by its founder after an incident from his childhood, where he was kidnapped and raised as a girl between the ages of seven and eleven. Incidentally the perpetrator was never caught!

Camels are originally native to North America. Would have been, like, my fourth guess.

But it's not like camels were native to the North American section of Pangaea and then wandered over to the Middle Eastern section of Pangaea -- by the time camels existed Pangaea no longer existed, although the continents weren't in their modern locations either. Camels ended up in their current location by migrating across the Bering Strait into Eurasia, in a reverse of how humans crossed over into North America.

AlphaKretin posted:Croissant, being a French crescent of bread, is probably French for crescent. Technically true, but it's also an application of the word for growing because it originally referred to a waxing moon and, over time, people wrongly thought it referred to the shape rather than the stage of the lunar cycle.

I've had this pair of wireless headphones (the type that are roughly horseshoe shape and the wires come from from the ends) for a while, and every once in awhile they just won't turn on. I've just assumed they drain super fast. It turns out, occasionally (especially at night), I've been putting them on upside down. The things are so symmetrical that, randomly, I've been trying to turn the things on with the damm volume controls.

It's just the names. I don't think I've ever actually heard any song by Fugazi, or anything by the Fugees other than Killing Me Softly on the radio. So I when I'd hear or read some offhand mention of Fugazi I'd think "oh, they did that cover Killing me Softly, didn't they? They were ok".
