For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
Get bent. Impacted is absolutely acceptable usage to describe a direct or follow on affect from an action or initiative. It’s useful precisely because it’s an intensifier that conveys not just that there is a detectable change in an indicator, but there is a major change that directly attributable to the manipulated variable.
ETA: I think I have this figured out. That 70s Show use the phrase “get bent” as a synonym for “fuck off”. That’s not how I learned the meaning in the actual 70s. It was closer in meaning to “get real” and in line with the reported etymology of “go have a drink”.
Now, Bob, let’s keep it civil here
I thought that was a civil statement. I may be miscalibrated but I thought it was among the mildest of four letter words. I’d be happy to extend my vocabulary in the gentle art of dismissal.
You’re right. Funny how language can evolve, like if a phrase from an obscure German sociologist takes on a colloquial meaning not quite in line with its academic definition in the original treatise. 🤣
This is probably the best thread in a while for all of us Lemmings to display our true selves to each other. I love it.
Lol.
I agree but you can be less offensive saying it
