"Hence why"
Syntactically makes no sense. Just say "that's why," that's what you are trying to say.
Never mind I found it
...took the effort to nvm-d the post, but did not share how, where, or what etc
"The proof is in the pudding." It makes zero sense! The actual adage is, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." It means that a dessert can look perfect and enticing, but if the cook used salt instead of sugar it will taste disgusting.
I don't know what people even think they're saying with "the proof is in the pudding".
when i was a kid, i figured it was a reference to some now obscure detective story, where a bowl of pudding contained the important clue as to who the killer was or something. it wasn't until much later that i heard of this etymology.
This is now top of my list
"bend the knee"
"Sweet summer child"
And other phrases from GoT that people now pretend they've been saying their whole lives
The latter might have had a resurgence because of GoT, but I definitely heard the phrase before the show came out. I had to look it up to make sure, but it's origins go back to the 1800s.
Nah it's origins is a single use in a written poem with a significantly different meaning. Looking at the trends it's clear that it's GoT. People just use that poem as their cover, unwilling to accept that their memory is a foreign country
Aight. I'm glad your anecdotal experience in life is indicative of mine and what I've interacted with, seen, and read.
Iono why I tried interacting with a hex user in the first place. It always seems to end up in derision and self-labeled omniscience.
Nobody cares about settler anecdotes; not when very recent mass-market slop (I have no respect for A Song of Ice and Fire; especially not after the 'Grimdark Low Fantasy that FUCKS"/"fantasy for people who would rather be watching the Sopranos' adaptation) provides a much more likely outcome for why this phrase is back in the zeitgeist than a poem from the 1800s.
Amerikans don't read poetry anymore; if they even read at all. Midwesterners, man; I'd rather talk to a full-time coastal elite than some of you crackers

Thank you for proving the point.
Proving mine just as easily, smuglord.
Don't you have a timeshare in Florida or Arizona to be scuttling your way toward?
"Anecdotal evidence" lmao. Yeah bud the historical analysis and the reference to trends are super anecdotal. Sorry for not providing you with leagues of documents in what I thought was a chill civil interaction.
Aight.
<- You. I cannot imagine getting this butthurt over a casual conversation.

If you meet a person who stinks, then you've met a person who stinks. If everyone stinks, then you've stepped in dogshit - Dalai Llama. The Llama also told you to look inwards and be less of a redditor. Also to drop this weird faux-conversation tone you've suddenly adopted in an attempt to appear above it all. He said it's cringe.
Anyways here's the poem with a significantly different meaning of sweet summers child - because of course it is. The meaning of sweet summer child only makes sense within the universe of GoT. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mGQSAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA52#v=onepage&q&f=false - It is here referring a lovely breeze, a sweet child of the summer.
And whoops what's this? https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Sweet%20summer%20child&hl=da Oh wow would you look at that, it sees a drastic increase alongside the release of the first season of GoT. Odd. Huh. I'd go into the interesting reasons for why the first usage doesn't line up with the series release or the first book, but you're being a whiny little pissant so now I'd rather not and hopefully annoy you some more.
Fuck you
Like fishing in a barrel with a shotgun.
It's so funny how you swarm like pirhannas with penis-envy when you get called out.
I am happy to see you've taken the Dalai Llamas advice and dropped the weird faux-casual tone you attempted before. May this be the first step on your way to enlightenment.

> Say something stupid
> Get called out
> Heh sure triggered you :smuglord:

It's just me responding to you, and you seem to be the only one talking about being envious of dicks.
I gotta give you this, you've mastered the weird non-sequiteur. This is the second time in a row I'm baffled as to what motivated your strange response.
*applause
The story is just getting good, don't stop now.
The Dalai Llama says you need to practice your aloof attitude as it is just coming off as being an average cringy redditor
Either that or get funnier or spend less time thinking of a comeback
"Would of" annoys me to no end. Which is silly because English isn't my first language and I know I make many mistakes, but would of is just... Ugh. Ick.
Calling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It's so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they're making is salient and sourced?
"I don't need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview."????
It's also such a tell. Like the person can't imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can't imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
Especially because it's always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.
At least the video game lemmings look nothing like real-life ones.
For me it's "I'm offended" or "this offends me". I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that's your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
