Oh that's very good.

[Bunnylump]

Well, I get the Yoda one but no idea what Orly has to do with anything...

[Scurra]

It's just a contraction for "oh, really?" where the "really" should be drawn out in that sarcastic manner that teenagers specialise in. It's mostly a text message usage, so I'm not hugely surprised you haven't come across it.

[Bunnylump]

Is that because I am old and text in full sentences and with the dreaded punctuation?? My kids always tell me off when I call it a "telephone". "Nobody calls a mobile a telephone, Mum!" So naturally, that's what I call it. All the time.

[LAT]

I must admit I call it a phone. But I do use proper punctuation in text messages. Although my daughter also does so as she is even more pedantic than I am when it comes to correct grammar.

I confess I didn't really understand the joke though.

[Bunnylump]

It's probably one of those when you hear it SAID it works really well. Also it is past midnight and we're both half asleep...

[MBH]

I confess I didn't really understand the joke though.

Don't worry about it - it works at the same level as Clvrlad's "10 types of people in the world"


For the record, I use proper English in texts which is where my investigation into ORLY? started from

[LAT]

But I like the "10 types of people in the world" one - I understand that and think it's great!

[MBH]

But I like the "10 types of people in the world" one - I understand that and think it's great!

I've underlined the relevant point Many would look at the 10-types line as say "I don't get it". Going through the back-story of two sci-fi icons would slightly spoil the joke

[LAT]

oh I'm sorry I ever commented on it now.

[Bunnylump]

Rapidly changing the subject...

A group of chess enthusiasts were kicked out of a hotel reception for discussing their winning games. The manager can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer...(sorry!)

OR

A man goes to the vet about his dog's fleas. The vet says: 'I'm sorry, I'll have to put this dog down.' The man is incredulous and asks why. The vet says: 'Because he's far too heavy.'

[Scurra]

Rapidly changing the subject...

Well yes - this thread is supposed to be for jokes...

[Bunnylump]

I quite liked the dog one.

[LAT]

I don't understand that one either.

am I getting more stupid or is everyone else getting cleverer?

[Bunnylump]

The vet is holding the dog...

[LAT]

oh dear - I am getting more stupid aren't I?

[Bunnylump]

Don't worry, I never get jokes. I only really like the sort of jokes told by primary school pupils.

[Snoopy]

Here's an old joke that I've always liked (at least it's clean)

Where do you go to weigh a pie?

(sings) "Somewhere over the rainbow........."



I guarantee the song will never have the proper words again

[Bunnylump]

See, that's exactly my kind of joke...

[LAT]

ooh, one I get!
