I used to work at a fast food restaurant with a Jamaican guy and the most prominent memory I have of him is his pronunciation of the word "bacon." This website is really taking me back.

I was skimming threads on reddit as I passed this one. I opened it, read your comment real quick, and closed it again.

As I'm about to move on to the next thread, a thought crossed my mind. Well, no so much a thought as an image:

A baby being loaded into a cannon.

"...infant munitions?"

I made my way back to this thread in the hope of getting some context. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Not half bad, I only know some German wisdom (sadly the rhyme can't be translated I guess):

Trink, was klar ist,

Sprich, was wahr ist,

Eat what is cooked

speak what is true

fuck what is there

If the last line were "Fuck what is near" you could partially rhyme it, and in my opinion it'd make more sense on this end.

[–]Roflkopt3r 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is, but I memorised this with the "bums" version which means exactly the same. I think the verb "ficken" is rather new to German (like, from the 90's or something) so I don't like to use it for this, because with "bumsen" it sounds both colloquial and less modern ^ ^

I did not find these very funny (They were perhaps a little funny when I heard them for the first time a long time ago), and I decided to show express my dissatisfaction through more than a mere downvote.

All the really bad shit you do will follow you for the rest of your life on the internet though. So in the future we can set up ocular filters to scan for the bad ones and only interact with the people we prefer.

[–]Black_Apalachi 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure, I guess it's just be careful who (or how) you help people, unless you want to be walked all over. For example, I'm sure there were one or two instances at school where a guy would borrow a few quid from me, never pay it back and then come back later asking to borrow more. Obviously that's the point where you say no.
