Windsorite Susan Taylor was at Toast, ready to pay for her breakfast when she was told the bill had been covered.
“The waitress made an announcement in the restaurant that this lovely couple in the corner is paying for everyone who is in the restaurant at the time for breakfast,” Taylor told AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg.
“She (the donor) said that she was American, and she just wanted to apologize,” said Taylor.
“She said she knows that their president has caused a rift in what was happening between our countries, and she wanted us to know that not all Americans are bad people.”
Of all countries the US should apologize to, I don’t think Canada makes to the top 50, but I’m not gonna lead a gift horse to water
I’m not gonna lead a gift horse to water
What a joyously adorable mix of proverbs. This made me smile.
I beleive that’s called a Malapropism A favorite malapropism of mine is “We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.”
It’s close, and malapropisms are great too, but they rely on a similar-sounding incorrect word being used in place of the correct word, usually resulting in hilarity. Your example is also hilarious, but I don’t think it counts as a malapropism, not to get all linguistically technical (okay, I will lol). Rick Perry saying states are “lavatories of innovation and democracy” instead of “laboratories” is a perfect and awesome example.
The genius of @[email protected]’s comment was that they combined two relevant proverbs into a single equally relevant but hilarious one: “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” + “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” = brilliance
I’ll pay for my own - go and fix your country
Country is great gonna be greater
It’s not great, it will be greater when the fascists are removed, and a proper democracy is installed
OP got ratioed
I’m a mid millennial, I still don’t fully get that statement lol.
It’s the ratio of likes/dislikes: OP’s ratio of likes/dislikes was shit compared to the person responding to them. That’s not typically how that works out, since the OP usually has more eyes, and thus votes, than the replies.
As a result, when it happens, it’s really noticeable and REALLY sticks out and says something, so it’s called getting ratio’d.
Getting ratio’d is something to be deeply embarrassed of.
Any people from the states who want to send money over to me also appreciated
Sorry, all my money is about to be tied up in tariffs. If you could send me money, that would be swell.
How about eggs. You can pay for shipping?
