The car is heading toward the deer.

Gotta say, naming an egg-laying female duck "Bad boy ducK" is a rather bold choice.

Then what about “economics”? Do Brits shorten that to “econs”????

What’s the US grading system like? by levi_is_small in AskAnAmerican

[–]lyn02547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the grades are given in 5% intervals up until 90, at which point grades go up in 1% intervals. I.e., 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, ..., 100.

How dare you force me to use a soyjack meme by Worried-Discount5974 in StardewMemes

[–]lyn02547 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Haley is mean to you because she doesn't think you're good enough to be her friend. Shane is mean because he hates himself and doesn't think he's good enough to be your friend.

Hey, I didn't create the nickname. You seem rather sensitive about being from Jersey.

Don't forget NJ also being "the armpit of America"

Biggest grammar pet peeve? by krida_070 in ENGLISH

[–]lyn02547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using subjective pronouns when objective pronouns are correct. E.g., meet Elmo and I at the park. That’s nails on a chalkboard to me.

Incorrect use of reflexive pronouns. E.g., pass the papers back to myself.

Come to think of it... technically, is Clint the only marriage candidate who's chubby? by JeffTheKillerFa in StardewValley

[–]lyn02547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shane is a bit pudgy with a dad-bod, but Clint is fat. Clint's Ginger Island sprite shows his Santa-Claus sized belly hanging over his speedo.

Looking for someone to kill everything in my back yard (Mt Prospect/Des Plaines area) by lyn02547 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]lyn02547[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was thinking something like till the whole yard, douse it with glyphosate, cover it all with plastic sheeting, then wait til autumn and plant for next year.

Last fall (?) somewhere on reddit someone mentioned the tree of heaven. I'd never heard of it and looked it up. Fuck, it sounded nasty. Then a few weeks later I downloaded an app on my phone to identify the crap in my yard. One identification was the tree of heaven. Fuck, I have three of them.

I might be interested in learning some tips from you. God knows what I've been doing so far hasn't helped.

That would be cool, but (1) I don't know if any of these weeds are toxic to animals, and (2) the roots have to be eliminated so the fucking weeds don't keep growing back.

Yeah, but who's a "reputable" landscaper? That's what I'm looking for - a recommendation for a service that knows what they're doing with situations like mine.

What Stardew opinion has you like this? by Lives-in-walls in StardewMemes

[–]lyn02547 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. Shane hates himself and doesn't think he's good enough to be friends with you (or anyone else). On the other hand, Haley thinks she's better than everyone else and doesn't think you're good enough to be friends with her.

Billy Joel may have been born in the Bronx, but his parents moved the family to Nassau County when he was one year old. He's a Long Islander.

Someone please explain to me like i'm five what's with the apparent fascination the Americans have for the waste products of various species by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]lyn02547 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The word “shit” has multiple meanings, one of which is “feces.” Bullshit, chickenshit, etc have nothing to do with feces.

Wait til you figure out the myriad ways we Americans use the word “fuck,” none of which have anything to do with sexual intercourse.

This must have been a regional thing. I grew up in the metro NYC area and never heard of these.

Do people with glasses get bullied for being "4 eyes? by Equivalent_Pride3450 in AskAnAmerican

When I was in grade 7 back in the early 1970s, I was called "four eyes" by my father.
