office /ô′fĭs, ŏf′ĭs/

noun 3. A subdivision of a governmental department. "the US Patent Office."

turns out an office isn’t a building… who’d have thought… wait… everyone… everyone knows that and it’s easily found information

also language is malleable

also who cares what the word is; forcing people to do dumb shit because of a name is the dumbest shit ever

Hahah, holy shit how old am I?

You guys never seen Anchorman? I guess not. Also how can you read my comment thinking it was serious? 😅

Obviously this is a joke 😂😂. Oh dear.

I've seen it a billion times and I'm not sure what the reference in your comment was?

I've seen it a billion times

The reference is when Champ says: "It's Anchorman not Anchorlady".

It's like one of the classic lines. I can't believe you don't know it?

Ah right. It's not most memorable of them. Anyway, when people don't get your joke it means it didn't land. You need to chill a bit.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
