Luv me chips. Hate gulls. Simple as.

So I turns around, and I sez...

*shouldn't have"

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 2 years ago

I think it was intentional

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Shortened to “shouldnt’ve”, for those somehow still confused by this.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Yes, that’s that’s issue with this sentence.

[–] AJT@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

What is the point in jokes with some people

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Oy Wot?

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

first off, in the politest way possible, fuck you

'me chip' isn't correct either

'simple as'... simple as what?

they're not going for correct grammar, they're phonetically spelling the accent and slang

[–] DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Anthony Fantano has fucking lost it

[–] dilawar@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

This should be told to all seagulls... Is he also a Florida man?

[–] HowMany@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

He should have eaten the seagull.

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Fuck seagulls

[–] Lord_McAlister@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mom, Frank killed a Seagull.

Whole Kelly family screams

[–] kamehameherp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Bad luck to kill a sea bird.

Simple as that*

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 2 years ago

"Simple as" is british slang

[–] deadsenator@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is my understanding that it is common in NZ/AUS to leave the “that” out which is implied.

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's from an English dialect.

[–] Spendrill@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

To expand further the implication is that the whole proposition is simple and 'Simple As' is the end of the conversation, much like 'End of' which likewise suggests that no further analysis is needed.

[–] sparemethewearysigh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Having known a few Aussies, I have never heard them leave out “that”. It fits in though with some of the other oddities in dialect they have.

I thought Lemmy was left leaning, but the Grammar Nazis, Meme Division are apparently alive and well.

[–] aircooledJenkins@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

You think grammar nazis aren't found all along the spectrum? We're everywhere.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should have. Not of. Which language is your mother tounge? I see this more often. Is american school that bad?

[–] Dildade41@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I may get down voted for this but... seems like nobody spells "tongue" right.

[+] RedditRefugee69@lemm.ee -22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How the fuck are you going to define someone by a pension? Seems like a lot of assumptions and prejudice goin in that definition. Is Pension like a town or something too?

[–] cfi@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My understanding is that it's a British term for retiree. Basically just means elderly

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh I see because in the UK people actually get pensions

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know some safety nets are better than none (and that this is a meme thread I'm dragging down), but don't fool yourself - millions of older people in the UK go hungry and cold because they can't afford the basics.

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 2 points 2 years ago

I think we got a similar situation all over europe, maybe not as bad and certainly better than most of the world but still shitty!

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

This is correct.
Still completely irrelevant to the story though (but that's to be expected in tabloid territory).

[–] ZyQo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Same in Sweden/norway. Pensionär/pensjonist are synonyms for retiree.
