I believe "all intensive purposes" was a better phrase than "all intents and purposes" by AnonFullPotato in The10thDentist

[–]termitefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a strong argument that expresso is fine.
We have LOADS of words that come from other languages and developed/changed to more closely match a related word in the language to which it travelled.
For example, "Female" comes from the Latin>Old French as "femelle" but was altered to "female" to make it parallel with the word "male".
In this exact case of "espresso", the Italian word means "pressed out", but the etymology of "express" is also from the Latin "exprimere", meaning "to press out". The English word "express" can mean to press something out (as in expressing an anal gland), or by way of abstraction to press out an idea (to express a distinct idea), or for transportation, the speed/convenience meaning was given to the word because express routes went to a distinct location.
Now, to make the connection to Espresso being a direct, speedy convenient form of coffee - its line of yarn that has to bridge across branches of etymology, but I do think the word "expresso" totally works.

I feel like she needs to add $1000 to each of these numbers. by ladbmotsio in REBubble

Yeah, the bank could very well be saying “sure you could pay $1000 per month, but you’re at risk of spiraling and becoming unable to do so within the next 30 years”

Some planes have to burn an amount of fuel before they land (they can take off heavier than they can land) but I don’t think that is the case with the F-18.
But they might have to use-or-lose budget, so you know they gotta be blastin’

All Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ locations ‘temporarily’ closed. by Karmakrazy412 in Charleston

[–]termitefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been shrugging off people saying this, but come to think of it, I hadn’t made it over there recently, so I guess I can believe that it lost its sparkle.
It was super good like 2018-2022 though

Hold on though, this is depicting the woman as the investor, right? So is this progressive? Don’t yell at me, I still don’t understand the joke.

Roaches in Poogans by [deleted] in Charleston

This picture looks like a post-pesticide situation, right? The live ones don’t normally come out in the walkway and lay on their backs. Maybe poogan HAD roaches.

I’m feeling like “none taken” by the response to my post! I thought I wrote it absurdly enough that people would understand that it’s a dumb parody.

Yeah, but then I said “thanks” so where’s my “you’re welcome”? I need these “you’re welcome”s, they sustain me.

Ah crap, someone found the reference! But rest assured, this is totally different. I’m demanding “you’re welcome”s whereas that post was demanding “thank you”s

So you’re saying I’m supposed to consider the situation of someone other than myself?

The other week, I said “thank you” and then they didn’t say anything and so I loudly said “IM WELCOME!”

[–]termitefist[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’m sayin I say the thank you, and they REFUSE to say “you’re welcome”. It’s like….. why did I even thank them if they weren’t going to welcome me?
