hypocrisy
(lemmy.world)
"No offense, but..."
[Offends]
"Needless to say,..."
[Says it anyway]
I like the idea of people saying "Needless to say..." and then just ending their sentence, leaving you wondering what they planned to say.
That's a fantastic joke from Futurama. At Farnsworth's...roast?...Bender steps to the podium and says "And now, a man who needs no introduction, " and walks off.
Needless to say
"I don't wanna talk about it..."
[Proceeds to talk about it for 15 straight minutes]
What will happen if you reply just "ok"?
Death
Dishonor
Just on him, or also on his cow?
On his whole house!
I prefer a thumbs up.
Ducks.
Nah just respond with this lol
Well, it says “i’m speechless” not “i’m lost for words”. 😀
Now I imagine them just writing an incoherent string of words. "Tomato car house fireman oven duck garden rice..."
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
United Sheesh of Americas.
The list can go on as long as you want it to. :-P
Don’t try to guess my password.
Isn’t that a classic too? As in your mouth runs off and your brain trails behind. Later you ask yourself wtf you just said. I hate when that happens, especially during job interviews.
Interesting what kind of distinction do you draw between speech and words? 🤔
I'm sitting here in complete silence typing this comment out, I'm not using my speech. I am however using written words.
Technically you aren't using written words, but typed ones. Unless you are using some written-to-ocr system, but the end result is the same.
Boooooo
"That's right, use words!"
Perfect answer. 🙂
FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.
On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?
It's actually text
I'm trying to be ironic, but this is unironically irony.
You forgot the /s at the end.
TLDR;
The scandal
reminds me of the super best friends speech from south park back in the day
I mean how would I know what I think if I can't ~~hear what I'm saying~~ read what I'm writing?
