My son saw a video on YouTube of a guy using scissors to cut open a turkey, then salt and cook it and decided he wanted to try to do that. Only with a small chicken. Today he said the chicken was still too frozen to cut. And I said, all innocent like, “I can’t wait to taste my son’s spatchcocked meat.”

Go ahead. Top that.

People who use telescopes often talk about the size, which is usually in inches.

Back in the day, I often referred to my “10 incher”. My friend had a “13 incher”.

You kinda had to be careful with these conversations in crowded pubic places.

I once heard a local radio station whose DJs would do a bit on that every Monday using clips from broadcasts of that week’s NFL games. Most seemed to involve the typical description of an opening in the defensive line as “the hole”, and what offensive players did to - or in - it.
