Its an apostastrophe!
The shipping charge for infinite loop must be brutal.
I thought Time Wasters would be a thread devoted to the BBC series about time-traveling jazz musicians. (Yes, I know it’s not written with a space.)
Whenever I see Welcome to Derry (both the thread here and in my HBO Max recommendations) I always think it’s about Derry, Northern Ireland, and think it must be a spinoff of Derry Girls or something. I am familiar with Stephen King’s fictional town in Maine, but the one in Northern Ireland is always the first one that comes to mind for me.
Same, but worse for me. I never knew of King’s town until reading about it here.
So, like you have a cutesy nickname for your significant other, then you break up, and then start dating someone else, do you use that same nickname for them? …Oh, they mean literal names of pets.
I came here to post the same thing. Not having household livestock, my 99% interpretation of “pet name” is for spouse / SO / current squeeze.
Which is itself an interesting discussion. At least for those of us with some turnover in that department.
As opposed to what…tentacle arms?
This could be a problem-- depending on what type of paper the money was printed on, it could cause a serious backup. But, if Treasury agents are on your tail, it might be your only option to get rid of the evidence.
KIA repair in Central Arkansas
Look, if someone’s been killed in action, there’s pretty much no way to repair that.
That’s just a really crappy title. The misinterpretation was between the OP’s ears as they wrote barely half of what they were thinking.
Sigh. It’s taking longer than we thought.
TBH, I didn’t actually misinterpret the title; it just amused the 13 year old in me to intentionally misinterpret it that way.
The ‘Evolution of pole arms’ title I commented on just previously, on the other hand-- that was a genuine ‘WTF’ until I opened the link.
Perhaps rumors of a KIA in Central Arkansas are greatly exaggerated.
Yeah. “Pole arms” is either a compound noun you know and recognize, or it isn’t.
‘Tis but a scratch. A rat, a cat, to scratch a man to death!
Not a thread title, but in the spirit of this thread – at lunch time I had the radio tuned to NPR and was just sort of half listing. There was story about the flooding in Washington, and I heard the reporter say something about evacuees worried about “the state their homes are in” or something like that. Of course that meant “state” as in the condition of their homes. But for a split second I pictured the floodwaters carrying people’s homes down to Oregon.
As you know, the Colombia river is the border between the two states for ~3/4ths of their common border’s length.
I’m not so sure where all the recent flooding is. But if the Colombia is involved, not too hard for a house on the northern bank to be swept away and at least some of the debris be deposited on the southern bank some ways downstream.
So your first impression is not far wrong. 
Makes me think of the classic 1970s song w the chorus tagline “I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.” In a flood your condition is likely to be “wet and wrecked”.
In my job I have to read a lot of mil specs (military specifications). If you’ve ever dealt with the military, you’ll know they label everything with the most general term first, then the more specific terms, separated by commas. E.g. “Terminal Block, Molded, Screw Type” is the title of a real mil spec. So to me, “Fire, Low-key, Chopped” sounds like a specification for fire. Specifically, a low-key fire that has been chopped.
I had exactly the same reaction when I read it.
Totally 67! Type that into Google, by the way.
Yes..I recommend.
