Powered Descent posted:That's my best guess too. The phrasing is sometimes used for a time it's common to put on weight, such as when you go away to college and your diet changes from Mom's home cooking to self-selected garbage, you gain the "freshman 5" (or 10, or 20, as the case may be). But it's still a little obscure. While I never heard it applied to pandemic weight gain, it would at least make sense. Still very strange to drop it in a strip totally out of context and leave everyone to try and figure it out, though. I commonly heard "covid n" used the same way as "freshman 15". She's eating pizza at a party and talking about going to more parties that she had to skip due to the pandemic. Weight gain makes some sense in context, but it's awkwardly phrased as gently caress.

Down it went, into the guts. It emerged unharmed about a month later. We can talk about the month I lived in a parking structure “another time”.

 Untranslatable Fingerpori   OK there's layers here. The first being "pelaan korista". Basketball in Finnish is "koripallo", literally kori (basket) + pallo (ball). A colloquial expression for the sport is "koris", which is kind of the diminutive form. And now we get to the real poo poo: "pelaan korista" can either be the elative form of "kori" (korista), basket, as in "I am playing for the ownership of a basket", or the partitive form of "koris", I am playing basketball. The second is the division pun. The Finnish word for division is "divisioona", but it's frequently shortened to "divari", which is again the kind of diminutive nickname we see a lot in Finnish. Weirdly enough "divari" is also the word for a second hand bookstore at least in south western Finland. There is no correlation between division and second hand bookstore that I know of. The typical second hand bookstore in Finland sells a lot of old magazines, books and often also VHS tapes, DVDs, Blu-rays, games and whatever else. They also often smell like cigarette smokes and mold and I've spent a significant amount of my life browsing first for old issues of Mad Magazine and then books. And the number two thing should be obvious to everyone. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Jul 21, 2023 |

Yeah not to go all "kids these days" but how many kids regularly use a physical keyboard vs a touchscreen keyboard? Laptops still exist, but they're not the main way you communicate with your friends like when we were younger.

It's amazing how Rex Morgan managed to make someone exploding their face with a firework so loving boring. Even the previous strip had the patient look at the camera and go "You know what? Having fun is too dangerous."
