I was expecting "levy a fine".

[–]Redequlus 2 points3 points ago

Let's just pretend...

[–]xalphabetcityx 0 points1 point ago

I'm more worried that OP apparently thinks you make milkshakes by "frothing" milk...

[–]Rizlaaa 0 points1 point ago

effectively true of a cappuccino, which is what i originally thought this was about after reading that first line

[–]xalphabetcityx 0 points1 point ago

You gotta pick your words carefully when doing a Ducreux otherwise you'll find that no one understands what you're trying to say.

[–]Rizlaaa 0 points1 point ago

thats part of the fun of it though! decoding it and realising what he is saying, unless you get it first time, even then, its still good.

[–]xalphabetcityx 0 points1 point ago

Maybe your right. The original joke of this meme seems lost. Translating popular hip-hop phrases into 1700's parlance.

[–]Nillabeans[S] 0 points1 point ago

froth is one of those words that has been appropriated to mean something specific, but it can also mean something that's bubbly. Milkshakes are usually pretty frothy on the top. Milk froths when you agitate it.

from google:

froth/frôTH/

Noun: A mass of small bubbles in liquid caused by agitation, fermentation, etc.; foam.

Verb: Form or contain a rising or overflowing mass of small bubbles: "he took a quick sip of beer as it frothed out of the can".

I should have used educate instead of teach though.

[–]xalphabetcityx 0 points1 point ago

Still it's not the frothing that constitutes a milkshake, it's the blending of the milk with ice and flavoring that makes the beverage isn't it?

Frothing is simply a byproduct. It's like saying that chemotherapy is a weight-loss program, you're focusing on the wrong thing to describe the subject, that's what's bothering me.

[–]Nillabeans[S] 0 points1 point ago

Sir, alas, I believe thou art sperging. Milkshakes don't consist of shaken milk.

[–]xalphabetcityx 0 points1 point ago

Nor do they consist of "frothed" milk. So at the very least one of us is fundamentally confusing the process by which milkshakes are made.

[–]Nillabeans[S] 0 points1 point ago

In French, it's called lait frappe. Just saying.

[–]xalphabetcityx 0 points1 point ago

"Milk strike?"

Kinda sounds cool.

[–]fwipo 0 points1 point ago

great

[–]Liquiditi 0 points1 point ago

Teach needs to be educate or some other primitive word to make this all that bit better. But nice work OP.

[–]kelstana 7 points8 points ago

It's a repost from about 3 years ago or something. OP is a phoney, a BIG FAT PHONEY

[–]Nillabeans[S] 0 points1 point ago

A shiny upvote is in it for you if you can find me the original tapestry pic! I had it on my old computer from my days as a Goon, but alas, it was lost in the tragic blue screen of 2010.

[–]Sahanrohana 0 points1 point ago

I was going to say that this one was very well written, until I read that it was a repost. :(

[–]0991 1 point2 points ago

i feel so stupid

[–]contrarianism 0 points1 point ago

That's a good one, even if repost

[–]Garlic_Tree 0 points1 point ago

NO REPOSTS, IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT, DON'T POST IT

[–]Nillabeans[S] 0 points1 point ago

I did make it. with meme generator, in fact.

[–]Garlic_Tree 0 points1 point ago

Ok, but it's been done before is all I'm saying

[–]Nillabeans[S] 0 points1 point ago

yeah, but the whole ducreux thing is just a copy of the medieval tapestry meme from like five years ago anyway.

[–]jet_tripleseven 1 point2 points ago

^ THIS MAN HAS NEVER REPOSTED A THING IN HIS LIFE GUISE.
