This probably isn’t true, but like if it is, you shouldn’t have to be told to not let your dog fuck your ass. Your Dad is reacting exactly how any sane person would in that situation.

Hey, I just wanted you to know that I didn't like your post.

Anon screwed the pooch and is now in the doghouse.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 40 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I've never actually slowed down to truly parse the phrase "screw the pooch". Well, now I have, and also fuck you because I used to be innocent 😭

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Apparently, it's the tamer version of "fuck the dog".

Holy shit. I thought I was being witty using that idiom instead of screwed the pooch. TIL it's already a thing, moreover the origin story of screwed the pooch.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The origin doesn't include actually having sex with a dog though. "Fuck the dog" was just an expression for being lazy and "screw the pooch" simply makes it more palatable.

So George Carlin voiced the conductor in the US. Someone mixed in his standup with the show, and it's pretty great.

Wait, I thought it was Ringo Starr?

English vs US versions

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Weird, I only recall seeing one version in the states. Or at least on PBS.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Not sure about it specifically, but when I was a child in England it was a british man, and when we moved back to the states it was a person with a NA accent. I later learned those to be Ringo and Carlin. Don't know about timelines, or release differences, or anything like that though.
