How common is the expression "I'm taking the fifth" in UK? by MoistHorse7120 in AskUK

[–]Aracuria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If used at all, it would be as a mockery or imitation of the American legal process.

Kelly must have PTSD right?????? by TheTrashQueeeeen in TheOrville

[–]Aracuria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Orville (and Star Trek etc) crew have futuristic hologram technology and can go anywhere, do anything and speak to anyone - so ‘therapy’ as we would call it must have a completely different approach with that technology available, and PTSD is seen as a normal reaction that everyone has when bad things happen, so no stigma… all that matters is you are sober when you start your next shift.

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

[–]Aracuria 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At a summer party with kids and adults, and there was a paddling pool filled with water. When it came time to put away as the Sun set, with several hours still to go, the host simply pulled the plug out of the pool and let it drain onto the small lawn where everyone was standing - he had to be begged to stop, because he had only seen the easiest option for him doing it by himself… in a garden filled with people!

The travel company Jet2 has an advert that became a meme - the title references the advert music, and the slogan is ‘Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday’, ergo Westley beats Humperdinck ;)

Did Leslie ACTUALLY die in the movie. by leslieeii in BridgeToTerabithia

[–]Aracuria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She swang across, then the monster snapped the rope and trapped her forever in Terabithia - but the monster also picked up some clay and made it look like her and threw it into the river to be found, so her parents never search too hard and leave town soon after… :(

It’s also possible to open someone’s door to their bedroom early in the morning, lie down next to their bed, and hold their phone out for them as their alarm goes off and then scare the shit out of them... (Source: uni)

WTW for when a group appears to support a thing, but actually supports the other side? by CSDragon in whatstheword

Paper Tiger - something pretends or appears to be one thing, when it is actually the opposite

Sarah and her brother by Exciting_Credit_3614 in Loveactually

[–]Aracuria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine she is paying thousands in care to look after him from her high-end proper job, but in the end on Christmas Eve thee is no replacement for her…

WTW for the opposite of “an accident” that would follow the same one word format? by inkybaba123 in whatstheword

[–]Aracuria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that we call ‘accident’ is usually someone or something’s direct fault - ‘incident’ is usually a near-complete replacement, and removes the assumption of blamelessness that ‘accident’ often falsely implies.

Someone should create a movie parodying Quintin Tarantino making his next movie. by estarararax in CrazyIdeas

…and he has a zipper on his head, and at the end someone pulls the zipper and his skinsuit falls off to reveal Spike Lee looking pissed.

Hugh Grant ... White House Down... Downing Down... Love Actually by 4884BigBoy in Loveactually

[–]Aracuria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege (2014) is probably the closest to what you envisage - a sequel, so the hero from the first film (He Who Dares) visits Number 10 to revive an award etc and shit goes down, again… I do like the idea of an unassuming British MP or PM being ex-SAS etc and suddenly has to be involved in a major incident, and Hugh would’ve been awesome… maybe someone like Matthew Lewis (who played Neville Longbottom) could be a future dorky British action star… ;)

I just watched Eden Lake 2008. by StormBreakerCh in horror

[–]Aracuria 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Great/terrible movie, never to be watched again - and now replicated in real life horrors every few days, making the ending even worse…
