Ah, so is "unit" slang for something in England or is the joke just he is a really fat dude and "Absolute Unit" is a pretty funny way to describe said fat dude? Just wondering if it's working on any different level besides the obvious one.

hawowanlawow posted:it means buff but was used ironically in that tweet because the dude is fat and not buff Might be slightly different in NZ, but AFAIK it never specifically meant muscular, just big, bulky, solid, etc. So fairly applied to the dude in that meme however I'm 99% sure that poster was just trolling and not asking sincerely

absolute unit is a meta commentary on the kelvin vs. celsius debate which is absurd because we all know rankine is a more intuitive system of measurement and furthermore comma

Thanks everyone that answered. I now know exactly how funny the "Absolute Unit" joke is. For those that skipped over it, it is funny because the guy was fat and "Absolute Unit" means something is big in England. That also explains why it was getting used on other large round things as well.

quote:"Absolute" is a British slang term used in so-called "lad culture" to mean "total" (e.g. Absolute Madman). The tweet gained over 3,500 retweets and 13,000 likes (shown below).  Thanks, knowyourmeme!

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Like someone earlier in the thread said, just do a GIS for "oh lawd" cuz it doesn't matter if the older southern generations use it regardless of race in polite society, words mean what they're used for, it's how language works, and apparently these days in the context of memes it's being mainly used on Mammy memes and at least one meme of a black dude holding a bunch of watermelons going OH LAWDS IS I IN HEAVEN Walling off the N-word and making it so no one was allowed to use it without being an rear end in a top hat DIDN'T WORK. It remained powerful and damaging decades after polite society stopped using it. Reclaiming the N-word so only black people could use it without being an rear end in a top hat also hasn't worked. It has muddled things so everyone is getting their feelings hurt about having a word only some people are allowed to use. And when the racists use it it is still as powerful as ever. The N-word remains toxic waste to this day, and into the foreseeable future. It's an ugly word and we'd all be better off if it didn't exist. It's going to sit there with F****t and a few others super toxic words until the end of time. Moving more words into the toxic waste dump won't reduce racism or the hurt experienced by vulnerable populations. I firmly believe that letting 'marginal' words fade into general slang does more to drain the power from then than walling them off so only the racists and their victims are allowed to use them. Slapping a "THESE ARE THE RACIST WORDS" label on them makes them more powerful, not less powerful. Example: oval office. 20 years ago I would have only referred to that as the C-word because it was a super toxic slur . . . in North America. The along comes the internet and the auzzies and brits throwing around oval office like it's nothing. Because to them it is nothing. I still wouldn't use it myself, but now it is a lot less shocking and powerful than it was 20 years ago. But this is the funny pictures thread not the pedantic language thread, so here's some offensive pictures of Jesus.       (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
