I look completely different in real lifeā¦
The digital photo suggests it, but in real life Iām not 2 dimensional at all
I just love how this starts to fill up - and yeah, itās great to see some of you āin personā, kinda
More backers added today!
One day, when this covid-19 stuff is behind us, we are arranging a meet-upā¦ maybe a few meetups around the worldā¦
A London gig would be nice!
Remember back when Covid was just a minor inconvenience
It seems like only 6 months ago
I dunno, what if everyoneās fingers get stuck together? Like the gravity grenade in Guardians of the galaxy.
Why do you think I am not getting one?
Odds are, only half of the people will have a natural attraction to each other and likely repelled by the other half
Thatās still a better rate than in my usual daily lifeā¦^^
@amal, for future reference:
If you say things like āLet me twist my knobā¦ā or such in the UK, please donāt be surprised seeing odd facial expressions.
Similarly if britons asking: āHey, where is that knob head?!ā ā¦well, they are unlikely to refer to your magic mind-controlling device.
It might come handy one dayā¦in case of a London based event.
Hahaha ok Iāll substitute dial then
Amal, I know you are close to Canada, and a term Iāve heard they use for a pint of beer is a growlerā¦
Again, in the UK, Oz and NZ, this has a very different meaningā¦ Although, they are both something you may want to get stuck into on a Friday night, if you get my meaning
Growler is also used in Australia, though more commonly as the slang term like you said. But a growler is more a particular type of vessel, hold about 2 litres / 4 pints. Bit of a boozehound if you asked your mates to go out for a growler or two
Yeah as @anon2520759 said itās the name of a type of drinking vesselā¦ like a tankard or goblet haha but basically borne out of hipster douchebaggery hahaga
Why just on a Friday? Lightweight
Iād say bellend instead, thatās funny.
Knob, or knobber is mildly derogative.
Knobhead is borderline offensive.
But mehāā¦ American accent would take the edge away, it would just make me laugh!
Donāt you guys worry about ādialā, call it knob head.
By the wayā¦ whazzup?? Party time or what?! We off this topic since laser etched magnets been announced?
A growler can also, in the Australian context, as per below, refer to beer you get fresh from the brewery (in said vessel). It came back into use due to the craft beer explosion.
I was flipping through the Hall of Titans now that itās starting to fill up, and was struck a bit by the notion that weāre an eclectic group. Normally if I was part of a group on the 'net, itād be something mechanical or maybe electrical, and everybody in the group would look and speak the same. Itās really nice to have some different opinions around here. ESPECIALLY the whole not dominated by americans thing.
Let me restate the obvious.
I love this Community.
This, totally.
And yeah, even though a lot of people are still missing, weāre already pretty mixed considering age, gender, origin and supposedly a lot of other things - but I think thatās one of the reasons for a lot of interesting topics up here
