The nice part of grammar Nazis is that they strongly indicate that they have no rational argument; all they can do is criticize the typos introduced by auto-correct.
Okay. I know I'm far from the sharpest knife in the drawer, but those are called side-cutters (at least, around here). How do you get 'subarus' out of that? Mike in Canada
Side cutters are also sometimes called dykes. I think that may actually be the proper name for them. Subarus are often associated with lesbians. Of course dyke is slang for a lesbian.
"Subarus are often associated with lesbians. Of course dyke is slang for a lesbian." Phew, got the answer eventually! I didn't know either and I own a Subee. No, I'm not a dyke but I could become one if I voted democrat...
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

Mike in Canada, I hear you make these in Canada and they're a lot cheaper there. LOL

DeleteYou ever get air support like that?
ReplyDeleteedutcher, no but I gave it a lot.
DeleteI am sorry but I don't get the blue handled wire cutter joke... if it is a joke.
ReplyDeleteJohn, it's kind of related to, "Go to supply and get me a bag of air and a sky hook to hang it from."
DeleteSubarus?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it's funny either.....
Anon, I don't either, but if you leave a meme unattended I will steal it and post it.

Wow... that's.... a really convoluted joke. No wonder I didn't get it.
DeleteI, for one, appreciate the explanation, though.

Anon @ 12:25, at my telephone company we called them dykes. That is also the masculine half of a lesbian couple.
DeleteZombiedawg, my God don't vote democrat.
DeleteMike in Canada, well then, Happy Subaru to you too.
