I dunno, English is a funny language isn’t it 😂
Well it can certainly involve being a piece of shit
In my neck of the woods, “throwing down” means either to pay into something, or fighting.
Yeah, means basically the same here too, sometimes also means to party hard. Just being silly, English has way too many inconsistencies…
Just made me realize that partying shares a lot of slang with fighting. Throw down, bash, rage, rave. All pretty violent words. I love language.
I heard Jack O’Neill and Teal’c in my head on this one.
J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I’m going to throw down!
T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O’Neill?
J: What?
T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?
Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism “throwing up” to Teal’c last night after Sam’s bout in the infirmary and I’m guessing he thinks the reverse means
J: No!
J: I’m perfectly… Continent.
Shit
You’re gonna make me do another run through of Stargate, aren’t you?
Filling in a form is the same thing as filling out a form.
Flammable is inflammable
Being “up for” something is the same as being “down with” something.
“You’re shit” and “you ain’t shit” mean the same thing.
“Giving in” and “giving out” sometimes mean the same thing.
English is a delightful mess of redundancy and contradictions.
“You’re the shit” means the opposite of “you’re shit” and “you ain’t shit”
