The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Homers always felt accusatory to me too.

Like “yea I messed up but it’s still your fault, or at least not mine”

While Ope is kinda “oh! Sorry, sorry, sorry everyone”

It's neat how such little, informal words can be so complex in meaning and nuance. Interjections are cool!

This is a pretty common conversation where I come from:

Guy 1: Dejewy jet?
Guy 2: Naw, dejew?
Guy 1: Naw, yontu?
Guy 2: Aiyte, lesco.

Spoiler: English translation

Guy 1: Did you eat yet?
Guy 2: No, did you?
Guy 1: No. Do you want to?
Guy 2: All right, let's go.

Homers always felt accusatory to me too.

I've been watching through the Simpsons over the pandemic - a show my wife and I watch during lunch. And when Homer utters that, it is almost always self-directed.

When we, outside the show, use it, it is generally to indicate to someone else that they "pulled a Homer," rather than in a self-depricating manner, so I can see that connotation arising. But it doesn't seem to be in the original text, so to speak. At least to me - ymmv.

One of my friends actively still uses this expression. I remember having Scandinavian-American joke books called "Uff Da!" when I was a kid.

Isn't that a VeggieTales thing?

My first one. But it was either that or really cheese off certain people. (No, it's not about Pizza!)

I want to suggest starting the next thread with "And we're not talking about pineapple in this one."

But seriously, is there a way to have a semi-plus thread where you just don't want one topic brought up? Can that be done just by putting it in the first post and then reminding the person who brings it up that that one aspect is off limits?

You'd hope.

Good luck with that.
