    My favorite dumb joke of all time is from Fairly OddParents:

    Cosmo: The good news is I named my nickel Phillip!

    King Gripullon: What’s the bad news?

    Cosmo: It’s a girl nickel!

    … Cosmo is so fucking stupid lol.

        Philippa, or some approximately close spelling of that, is a fairly common feminine form of Phillip in many languages, and it used to be in English as well, but largely fell out of fashion in particularly in present day American English.

        Goes all the way back to Greek, then Latin, then the Romance languages, etc.

            Hrm. Well… right.

            Is … the nickel acrually sentient at all?

            Or is Cosmo just needlessly gendering non gendered things?

            Like, if you can ask the nickel, then yes, do that…

            But if the nickel is in fact… just a nickel…

            ???

              He’s needlessly gendering a non-gendered thing. I’m just being facetious.

    “What happened?”
    “The new proton burped out a couple of leptons and switched back to a particle similar to the the old proton.”

      I wouldn’t be surprised if that isn’t a direct quote from the show lol.

      One that always sticks out is:

      • Wanda: Cosmo was right??
      • Cosmo: One in a row! A new record!

      Windoze doesn’t even let me uninstall Edge for “reasons”

      Meanwhile Linux lets me do whatever the fuck I want, to the point I’ve somehow fucking bricked an immutable distro.

      Glorious.

      mpreg.

      Was that abbreviation born of necessity? Is there some context wherein it comes up so often it needs to be abbreviated for efficiency’s sake?
