@squirrel still, if I can't help out a squirrelbun that needs a hand then what's the point in having more than the absolutely required number of kidneys
@squirrel I've just remembered there used to be a Concorde route from Paris to your neck of the woods, that would have been hella convenient
Also expensive
Very expensive
@squirrel I mean, I'd come get you but I'd have to take out a loan and I'd only get there by Tuesday morning which probably wouldn't help much
Could do a "there's an emergency, come quick" phone call for you though
@BatElite First used by the US National Autistic Society but it was popularised by Autism Speaks after NAS stopped using it
Autism Speaks take it as "autistic people are difficult to comprehend (like a puzzle) and that the cure for autism is the missing piece"
@squirrel @alice@elekk.xyz although I suppose that would include being favourite easter bunny... main point, maple is best bun all year
@kibi true, but so are cars
@kibi we have those, they're called helicopters
@troubleMoney Americans have the same misconceptions about Canadians. They think we are polite and fail to parse the nuances of "sorry"
CAN: Sorry
US: Sorry
CAN: Sorry
US: Excuse me, you bumped into me/spilled my coffee/cut in line
CAN: Sorry
US: I'm about to take the last cookie and I'm not sorry at all
CAN: Sorry
US: MOVE, BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY
@squirrel *gentlys the robobun*
Considering my previous toot about English-American translations went absolutely woolly, here's some more:
British: "I hear what you say"
American: "You're wrong, shut up"
British: "With the greatest respect..."
American: "You're a fucking idiot"
British: "That's a very brave proposal"
American: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING YOU LUNATIC"
British: "I would suggest..."
American: "You will do this or be sanctioned"
It's the end of the month, which means patreon plugging time!
Since I don't have one and @squirrel is far too modest I'm plugging hers
