Is 'the guy what' instead of 'who' legit grammar, feels weird, though I'm not a native speaker

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

No it is not legit. In fact, it's an indication that the guy is not all that smart, and yet still vital.

For what it's worth, I've never actually heard a native English speaker talk like that either. Maybe it was a thing back in the 50s?

45 minutes later, Brooklyn was completely destroyed in the retaliatory strike.

Finally, I know how rockets work!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Does any lever launch rockets? We should probably find out.

Yeah, if the guy pulls it a second too early, when the fuel lines are still attached, everything explodes.
If he pulls it a second too late, after the clamps released, the rocket won't launch straight, tumble and explode.

But it still needs to be launched manually by a guy with a 6-digit salary pulling a lever, due to an agreement with the union.

When he says "as famous as the Dodgers", does he mean Cookie Lavagetto-level famous, or Van Mungo-level famous?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I think he means, "they're a Brooklyn institution that everyone will associate with Brooklyn forever!" Except not with so many words with more than two syllables.

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.
