I guess this is pretty obvious in retrospect but I never realised that sperm whale skulls take up such a small percentage of their heads

Captain Splendid posted:That is far closer to the truth than you may have realised. Yeah, called "spermaceti" because I guess that's what people thought it looked like? And it's one of the SEVERAL bodily products inside a whale that had a million and one uses "back in the day." I actually think it was the most valuable, (other than maybe ambergris?) part of whaling.

When someone replies, "Not if I see you first!" to something like, "See you later!", they are jokingly insulting the person by implying that if they see the person somewhere in the future, they are going to get the gently caress out of there before the person sees them there. I just never really thought about it before.

I always thought it was jokingly saying they would murder them if they had the drop on them.

I could see what you mean about the first version, but when I've seen it, it's always been around folks who are close and jokey enough that it's obviously in fun and nobody's offended.

I always thought "see" in that idiom is used one the "visit" context. Like "I'm going to see Grandma" or "I need to see the doctor". So it would be something like "I plan to visit you in the future" and the response is "You may not have to because I'll come visit you first"

The joke is that you think you will see me, but haha, I have seen you first. That's all there is to it.

exquisite tea posted:The joke is that you think you will see me, but haha, I have seen you first. That's all there is to it. When we were little we would agree to meet someone somewhere, and there was some allusion to who would get there first. "I'll meet you there." "No; I'll meet you there." or vice versa.

It's not if I see you first, making it clear that the interlocutor will change their DNA into that of a different human if they see the other prior to their own perception by him or her.

I'm now thinking about the implications of See you in hell! Not if I see you first! which I have heard somewhere before. They're both gonna be in hell, so he can't really re-murder the guy? Is he going to leave to a different torture district if he sees him at the lake of fire?

I've always interpreted "not if I see you first" as meaning "because I will then avoid the encounter", which is an interpretation that works in the hell case as well. Ish.
