  • I didn’t constrain my question, that implies I had a different question that I changed. I asked the question I was interested in hearing an answer to. Op chose not to answer that question, so I speculated as to why that was. I was honestly curious if they had heard someone say the thing they put in quotes. That’s all. Arguably every social media post is just someone seeking validation, so that non-answer “example” rang extra hollow for me. Especially when my question was so unambiguous.


  • I didn’t say I don’t like their opinion, I’m entirely indifferent to their opinion. You can check if you want, votes are public if your tech-savvy enough to find them (I’m not or I’d link). I don’t even have tattoos, but other people having them doesn’t affect me in any way. The sentence was in quotes, so I asked if they had “actually heard someone say” that statement and they equivocated. 🤷‍♂️ I thought the question was pretty explicit in what it was asking, but they still managed to answer a different question.














  • Explaining to a Yank that calling someone a shitty piece of wool, stuck to a sheep’s arse is a compliment takes some convincing

    What word are you referring to here? I don’t know of any American slang that means a shitty piece of wool stuck to a sheep’s ass, *dingleberry" is the closest we got and that’s not species-specific. The only thing I can think of that dag means/has meant in America is a minced oath, for either God or damn (“dagnabbit”, “dag yo”). Add an O on the end and you get a largely archaic racial slur for Italian people or a highly-localized regional sandwich. Didn’t know about the sandwich until I was driving through NE Minneapolis and saw a bar sign advertising “Dagos & Liquor” and briefly had to clutch my pearls until a local explained.
