Lingo here .. what is being said. (Read 1585 times)

GETM, explained.

I make a habit of repeating links in this thread.

On her bed there was a crank, and a crack on the ceiling had the habit of sometimes looking like a rabbit.

She's doing crank and crack?

Unfortunately, what's not being said can also be as hard to decipher....

cliff notes version, please

Which brings us to tl;dr

Ha.  Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

 

I *always* laugh at that joke in Caddyshack, but honestly I don't quite understand it.  It kind of seems like he's saying the hat is bad enough for a homeless guy in line at the soup kitchen, but I get stuck on "buy a hat" if that's the case.

 

And yet I still laugh.  Every single time. For 30+ years.

hmmm, ive always heard it told with a haircut instead of a hat. the way i understood it is they put the bowl on your head and cut around the rim, producing a common 90's hair style. i thought the idea is that its such a cheap haircut that they fill the bowl with soup after like some sort of consolation prize.

Well, that's called a 'bowl cut' and it goes back to the great depression at least.  Dunno that I would want soup in a bowl after a head has been in it, but that at least allows a bowl (for soup) to exist.  The hat version is just weird.
