I'm surprised he didn't start thumping the table while chanting "steak! steak! steak!" instead.

If I went to a wedding that only served something I despise like, I dunno, prawn soup and dried seaweed, I think I'd just eat something beforehand. Maybe tote along a bag of almonds in my purse if it was pushing the 8 hour mark.

Bringing something prominently displaying a fast food logo into a wedding is a dick move.

alexandriao posted:?????? what does this even mean?? I don't get it??? Apparently it means "you aren't from around here unless your ancestors are from here too." Merely being born in a place, or god forbid moving there? You'll never be a local. This is a very southern/country attitude to have. A less tortured version (do cats usually have kittens in ovens?) is "a man may be born in a stable, but that does not make him a horse." The internet suggests that the saying is from the northeast (Vermont/Maine) though. Also attributes it to both Frasier and Malcolm X.

Not just that, your parents have to be from around there too. You are still a cat and kittens, or the kitten of a cat. You need muffin parents to be a muffin.

We call them Buns, not Biscuits, since that's something only a weird foreigner would do. Like you. -Disclaimer am not a yank but I can see the terribly inbred pride of a stupid expression.

It's a crappy idiom because "in the oven" is slang for pregnancy, an oven is small enough that a cat could actually climb inside and have kittens in it, and biscuits are about the size of newborn kittens. There are too many possible interpretations. It's confusing. "A man can be born in a stable but that doesn't make him a horse" is better. Das Boo posted:My folks have lived in Montana since 2004 and will never be considered locals. It's definitely a universal non-city attitude. I've heard it said that in the country, you aren't a local until the last person who remembers you arriving has died. Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Jul 24, 2021 |

When I was in 5th grade on the bus one day a cool and popular 6th grade kid told my friends and I that cumming meant when a guy poops out of his dick. I didn't really believe it but I had no other definition for cum at that point. I still occasionally imagine spaghetti playdough being extruded from those toys when I think of ropes lol 🍝

The specific brand of fast food actually matters a lot here so I don’t know why OP left that out. Taking Burger King to a wedding is very different than taking Hardee’s.

My mom always wanted salt water fish. When she finally had the money she did research for months and tried to create the perfect environment for them. She proceeded to kill like probably a dozen fish over the course of 6 months for reasons she could never figure out and spent somewhere in the 1000s on fish and trying to course correct. After that 6 months she sold the fish tank and swore off animals for the rest of her life.

Sagebrush posted:
I live an ocean away from Americas but that really feels familiar. From the outside it might be hard to grasp but it's really more of a fact and not really an exclusive attitude. (Obviously you can run into people who think you "don't belong here". I haven't, but then again I don't hang around the local bar at night.) I have lived nearly my whole life in two towns that have less than 3500 people each. My parents moved into the first of those and I moved into the second with a family of my own. I'm now getting close to 40 and it's obvious to me that I have no actual roots in either of the places I have called my home. And don't get me wrong, I want to live in small place like this and love it here. It's just that when actual locals (like my wife) talk among themselves, I often can't follow. I don't know many unofficial names or nicknames of hills or villages they talk about. I don't instincticely know how various families are related to each other. I don't have social safety nets except through my wife and colleagues. I own no land except for our yard. I have neither social responsibilities nor people who are socially "bound" to me. The graveyard has no place I can light a candle at, except for a stone that reads: "To the memory of those buried elsewhere." It just takes several generations to grow your roots somewhere.

I have a tattoo of the Sears Tower that I use as a litmus test: if someone says they’re from here but comments on my “Willis Tower” tattoo they are automatically sus. I also loved that arc because the buffalo dude was a) well characterized as a Chicago Guy in an ineffable way I can’t really verbalize and b) his apartment was very clearly a Chicago apartment, down to the arched doorways and iron radiators. My current apartment has the former but not the latter; I’m lowkey salty about that because there’s nothing better than warming your clothes on the radiator before getting dressed in the winter. You can also put a metal bowl full of water on top for a makeshift humidifier!
