Jay Rust posted:Ok so we're just going to keep ignoring that the thread title still says "thing" and not "think"? Much like the Viking debate, I have debated my family on whether the phrase is "if you think X, then you've got another think coming" or "... another thing coming." My dad and brother are for "think", whereas I stand with Judas Priest on it being "thing". Speaking of the Thing, he would go great in your batmobile.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I've often theorized that the debate splits among US/EU lines, with Europeans and Brits more likely to interpret "that's where" as commonly referring to an area of expertise. But more importantly: when Don Mattingly finally shaves the sides of his head out of frustration and Mr. Burns yells "I thought I told you to trim those sideburns," really emphasizing the word "trim," does he think Mattingly still has sideburns (whatever Burns may understand those to be), or is he upset that Mattingly shaved them all the way off rather than trimming them back?

Sort of, but it might be more along the lines of whether English is your native language.

Absolutely not. Brit here and it’s abundantly clear that nobody in their right mind would assume he was talking about being good at sleeping because that makes absolutely zero sense, and not even in a “haha Ralph says silly things that’s just his character” way because those occasions are always him saying something that’s kind of close to what he’s obviously trying to say so you can infer his meaning clearly even though he botched the delivery.

I'm still waiting to hear where the hell people use "be a Viking" to mean "be good at" (aside from Albany of course). I've literally never heard anyone use this meaning, and it makes no goddamn sense.

I've literally never heard anyone use this meaning, and it makes no goddamn sense. No, nobody's saying that's an actual, real-world expression. We're saying it sounds like something Ralph might use to mean "be good at" since he's a weird little guy. To me, at least from that non-native English speaker perspective like in the video, it's the "where" in the line that makes it sound like a metaphor. If they had used "when" (or "sleeping") it would sound literal.

It's weird that anyone would declare their intent to dream a particular scenario. If he said "That's where I can fly" or reference some other common dream imagery then it'd be easier to realize he means the content of his dreams. But you people think when someone says they're a pig that they literally mean they're a barn animal.

Alright, Metaphorists, let's hear it: List some examples of "That's where I'm a [metaphorical thing]" conveys being at good something, and make it sound like something a real human being has actually said at some point.

I've literally never heard anyone use this meaning, and it makes no goddamn sense. To be frank They don’t. It’s one of those jokes where a bunch of people pretend to believe something really obviously wrong in a non sequitur way, and the humor comes from laughing at people who aren’t in on the joke getting mad and flustered at the people pretending to be wrong. The more “you” disbelieve that they actually believe it, the more they double down because that will make “you” that much more flustered.
