TIME TO ROC N' ROLL

How do you use :v: ? It's always felt like punctuation for saying really obvious thing. Not necessarily :haw: which is more punctuation for telling a stupid joke.

Usually I use :v: to say I'm not being serious, or that the words I'm saying aren't that big of a deal, like when pointing out an obvious but largely inconsequential mistake or oversight.

:haw: is dad jokes, :v: is pretending to be stupid/terrible.

this is gonna sound odd, but i’m not from any of the anglophones, so hear me out.

what on earth does that “showing your whole rear end” thing that people love shouting at each other in QCS these past few months mean? at first I thought it was something like looking like an idiot, like the trousers fell down or something, but then there’s the “whole” bit, which makes me think it’s looking like an idiot on purpose? but this gets thrown around in arguments, so then I get kinda confused

Not anglophone either, but from context I think your first idea is the most accurate one. The "whole" bit seems to me like it's for emphasis, like saying "you looked like an irredemable idiot back there and there's no way to hide it". But, again, grain of salt and all that.

"You unnecessarily insisted on revealing yourself as an idiot."

It has to be a sustained or repeated act, not a one-time thing.

As a native English speaker this is how I interpret it.

It's an unusual way to phrase things and the use of "whole" makes it both sound awkward and serve as an intensifier for how big of a gently caress up the person was being.

Yeah this too, it's revealing of a long-term but usually hidden character trait

I never liked “showed your whole rear end” because it sounds too much like mooning, which has a completely different meaning to showing an rear end :butt:

It's not necessarily a new thing, when i was a kid in the 80's my grandfather would yell at me for "showing your (my) rear end" any time i threw a fit or whatever.

Also there was that song a few years back which had the line they can eat my whole rear end / more specifically they can eat my rear end hole

this question's partly been answered, but I wanted to include an image of "showing your partial rear end" as a counterpoint to just having your pants fall entirely down:

you can see how it would be just a little embarrassing vs. a lot embarrassing

(sadly em-bare-rear end-ing is not the actual etymology for embarrassing)
