No, the idiom is in fact “champing at the bit.” Justin Carter is incorrect.

I’m a second-language English speaker, and for me English is just full of things you just learn and don’t puzzle out. It’s so slapped-together from other languages that often the rhyme or reason for something is long gone from the vernacular.

I came to do the same correction, so there are a few of us out there.

Only inasmuch as Americans mostly just vibe their way through language instead of actually learning it.

Maybe. In fairness, though, we don’t use “champ” in that sense. The first time I was aware of it was when I read it in one of Gollum’s riddles (in the dark). I don’t think I’ve heard it used in normal (American) discourse, outside of the phrase in question, and when used as the abbreviation/contraction of “champion”.

The article is just drenched in outrage. This is on par with the kind of burn-it-all-down writing you find in response to a tweet about how maybe a 25% tip for take-out is a bit much.

As a man who has been raped before, men can be victims as well. She literally faked evidence and lied under oath and is now facing perjury possible charges in UK, US, and Australia. It’s not “believe women” it’s “believe victims”. Amber is the abuser, NOT the victim.

Here’s a little hint for ya kiddo - they are messing with you.

What are your SafeSearch settings? Similarly to violence and sexual content, having SafeSearch on can filter out information on criminal cases. 

Are you using the Canadian Google?

Maybe try Bing? They have more results on some topics.

Was my favorite part of the job, getting to call in the authorities on those dirty scofflaws that didn’t comply. A lot of people also thought they could get away with not rewinding their DVD’s either but we could always tell.

And you deserved every minute of it!

Where did this happen? I know the internet isn't the best way to confirm things but I just googled those exact words and not a single result came up.

No, it’s true. I did 3-5 years hard labor(busting blocks) for a ‘failing to be kind’ conviction.

What is the statute of limitations in this scenario?  400 years?

As I recall, people used to regularly catch 1-3 years for returning a tape un-rewound all the time back then.
