"No offense, but..."

[Offends]

"Needless to say,..."

[Says it anyway]

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

I like the idea of people saying "Needless to say..." and then just ending their sentence, leaving you wondering what they planned to say.

That's a fantastic joke from Futurama. At Farnsworth's...roast?...Bender steps to the podium and says "And now, a man who needs no introduction, " and walks off.

I'm sitting here for 16 hours now wondering about what you wanted to say!

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Needless to say I know it neither

"I don't wanna talk about it..."

[Proceeds to talk about it for 15 straight minutes]

What will happen if you reply just "ok"?

Just on him, or also on his cow?

[-] IDriveWhileTired@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

On his whole house!

I prefer a thumbs up.

Nah just respond with this lol

[-] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 1 year ago

Well, it says “i’m speechless” not “i’m lost for words”. 😀

[-] Vigge93@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Now I imagine them just writing an incoherent string of words. "Tomato car house fireman oven duck garden rice..."

[-] OpenStars@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

United Sheesh of Americas.

The list can go on as long as you want it to. :-P

[-] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Don’t try to guess my password.

[-] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Isn’t that a classic too? As in your mouth runs off and your brain trails behind. Later you ask yourself wtf you just said. I hate when that happens, especially during job interviews.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Interesting what kind of distinction do you draw between speech and words? 🤔

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago

I'm sitting here in complete silence typing this comment out, I'm not using my speech. I am however using written words.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Technically you aren't using written words, but typed ones. Unless you are using some written-to-ocr system, but the end result is the same.

[-] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Perfect answer. 🙂

"That's right, use words!"

[-] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.

On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?

[-] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago
[-] u202307011927@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

So they're right! Speechless

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 15 points 1 year ago

I'm trying to be ironic, but this is unironically irony.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You forgot the /s at the end.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

The scandal

[-] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

reminds me of the super best friends speech from south park back in the day

[-] bobbytables@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I mean how would I know what I think if I can't ~~hear what I'm saying~~ read what I'm writing?
