The phrase makes no sense to me at first glance because if I say "I'm going to have some cake" what I mean is I am going to eat it.
Weirdo. The rest of us mean that we are going to posses some amount of cake for a period of time.
Don't speak on my behalf. That's not what I mean when I say I'm having some food. "Yes waiter I'll have the steak. Not for eating. Just for possessing ike a psychopath."
What do you want to do with cake other than eat it though? Apart from saving it for later because the only thing you'd be saving it for later is to eat it later.
Own the cake, obviously.
that brother is a fucking snitch
Apparently I never understood this saying until today.
I still don't think I fully understand, even as the unabomber put it. Can't eat it and have it? Like, I can't consume and expect the thing to remain, that it?
Side note: only in English, one can "understand", but nobody can "overstand" and anybody that "stand" is doing a wholly different thing.
It comes down to "You can't have the best of two situations. Pick one."
Ah, that's much more helpful, thanks!
LOL that's awesome.
The statement has been around since the 1530s; it's probably due for some modernization.
I'd love to hear the Unabomber's takes on "taking a piss/shit."
It would actually be quite funny to say you're going to leave a shit, come to think of it.
I leave a shit, there's no shit when I return, so presumably someone came and took a shit. What they did with that shit, I prefer not to know, but I'm not going to fault such a vital function.
That's goddamn wild
Reminds me the advice "when commiting crime put a rock in your boots so people can't recognize you by your walking style."
Tumblr
Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
