What a spry fellow. Full of vim and vigor! Would vote right now.

I mean... I'll take Joe over Trump any day of the week. Twice on Sunday.

Still would rather see AOC run.

What does that mean ? "Just like we drew it up" ?

This was posted right after the Chiefs won the Superbowl in 2024. There was a MAGA theory going around that Biden was going to rig the game for the Chiefs, Taylor Swift was going to endorse him, and then everyone who watched the game would be brainwashed into voting for him.

That's called a fossil word, a word that only ever gets used in a specific phrase. When was the last time you heard the word "inclement" outside of the phrase "inclement weather"?

YAYY WIKIPEDIA RABBIT HOLE TY

What’s crazy is that my brain didn’t even understand how to read “inclement” for a second until I saw “inclement weather.”

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

and the phrase is "how do I exit VIM?" because nobody actually says vim and vigor anymore.

PBS just did a YouTube short on fossil words: https://youtube.com/shorts/nkvMOwhs2YQ

It’s a veritable cornucopia alright.

I tell you what Jack, he's full of piss and vinegar.

[–] uraniumcovid@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

biden probably still thinks of vim as the new version of vi

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, voting 5' from now has its risks :p

Sure he's young and popular, but all his ideas are untested. We need a president with a track record specifically in the late twenties. Someone with real chops. Time to boot up the John Quincy Adams chat bot.

Listen her Jack. You are no Kennedy if I didn't sell Medicare. We did that!
