I think you can find a middle ground between “I assume they’d come and politely discuss it” and “I think constantly whether my every single minor action can offend someone”.

You still occasionally see people talk about their weight in stone, but many just use kilos now, anecdotally.

In my experience, if you’re looking to lose a bit of flab for the summer, you’d say you want to lose six pound to half a stone (which is 7lb) or whatever, but if you go the gym regularly and keep an extremely keen eye on your weight, or if you like to think you do, you use kilos. As a rule, you’d use imperial for eyeballing or for measuring things with a bit of play, but you’d use metric if you need precision.

Are you sure? I can only think of Donald Trump as an example, and even then I think he’s garnered more ridicule than support for it.

I actually thought that as soon as I saw it.

I think it’s more that you get taught the “right” way of doing, speaking, etc. and people are geared to dislike challenges to that idea until they learn to accept change. Another example would be people who’ve learnt how to do a particular task at work being shown a better way of doing it but having a niggling sense that the way they’d learnt first is ipso facto better.

I still can’t find the bit where he goes, “let’s go SHOPPING.”

Edit: Never mind, found it.

Isn’t it full of brimstone? So it tastes eggy?

Tangential, but quicksand is called so because it moves, much like quicksilver.

Yeah after writing it I sort of realised I was pointing out the joke, but we’re here now.

Not many situations where you can use the phrase “I’ve often been born”.

I think I’ve met like four people in my life who wouldn’t get this joke.

Hier, Archie! (flauwe woordspeling, excuses)

This is so stupid but I only sent that Wikipedia entry to my girlfriend yesterday.

Porridge out the microwave is decent enough!

Recipe? You make soup, you chuck it on a butty, bish bash bosh.

Et tue, Brute?

Seemed a lot bigger when I was 8.

To be fair, you’d have to drop an awful lot of bubbles to not be let back in the pool.
