I like the cut of your jib.

I mean there are giant clams in the ocean, but they don't serve them at restaurants.

I believe that state of mind is called "being a cop." I may be reading the MP too much.

It's possible that a fungus got on the cork.

Homophone. I'll show myself out. #pedantic

It's like a ball pit for ferrets.

I recently had a similar discussion about women's use of "girlfriends" to describe their female non-romantic friends. In the 80s, when I was a kid, it was normal to use that word for one's buddies. Now that society has progressed a bit (and now that I don't live in a dinky conservative town), I understand it to mean…

I think "hook up for dinner" is clearer. I'm used to hearing, "My friend Nancy and I hooked up this weekend," and raising my eyebrows.

My mother and her friends are always "hooking up." They keep saying it, no matter how many times I explain the current connotation. It's an age thing, maybe people above 50?

I feel bad for guys in fraternities, because they all get stereotyped as these douchey, rapey types, but most of them are just normal guys. Also, 5-8 in a fraternity? Ours were capped at 50 members.

That had best be some delicious-ass pizza.

Seems as if they'd be better off selling it to jewelry stores wholesale than selling it to individuals.

Why are all the news reports naming the victim? Is it not the standard practice to refrain from naming victims of sex crimes?

Apparently no one orders hamburgers anymore. It's all cheeseburgers. Every burger place I go to requires me to order a "cheeseburger with no cheese," because this mysterious thing called a "hamburger" doesn't exist in their computer system.

Surprise twist: He's Jewish.

Asking pork questions also immediately outs me as a Jew or Muslim, which can be a questionable thing in certain places.

What about religious dietary restrictions? I don't keep properly kosher, but I do try to cover the basics, like no pork or shellfish, no butter on steaks, that sort of thing. Am I being a jerk to ask about the pork-ness of things and to try to get a non-pork option substituted?

Something must have happened in the past that made him extra vigilant. Like maybe there was an error and someone actually did get really sick.

Question: Are you able to eat from plates/silverware that used to have bread on them, but have since been washed? Follow-up Question: Do you need to use a special soap?

Maybe that would fly if you were sitting at the sushi bar, but it seems like a jerk move in any other scenario.
