      You ever go back and read something you wrote, or think about a conversation you were having, and realize that only in context does something not sound hilariously weird?

      That's what this thread is for. Those things that make perfect sense in context, but taken out of context, just sound ludicrously absurd.

      Which is why you should not be putting the context in there, either. Just let people's minds go with it.

      I'll start:

      This gazelle is sexier than a cartoon gazelle has any right to be. The bull, too.

      Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

        "fyi, everyone

        in addition to 'labial,' 'frenulum' should be used WITH CARE."

              @Tinuviel said in MU* Gripes and Peeves:

              Beren came,
              And doom fell on Tinúviel
              That in his arms lay glistening.

              I have to admit, it made me giggle.

                "In the winter it turns really hot?"
                "....prob'ly."

                        I thought you meant 3 Stacks, actually. Had to google it to realize you were talking about some white actor dude.

                        Alright alright alright

                            Not something I said, but something I overheard a woman saying on the phone:

                            "Well, I guess you better hit my ass with that bus then."

                            Note that while we were both walking towards a large transportation hub in Philly, it's a train station, we were both still a block away, and there were no buses in sight.

                              I just overheard the woman next to me in a cafe say "let's shower the girl in midgets"

                              I have no idea what context it is because they changed topics then...

                                On the playground:

                                "Catch me sugar daddy!"

                                7-8 year olds playing tag.

                                (Okay, so I did ask for context. They were calling the tagger daddy (daddy long leg) and 'sweet' for nice.)

                                        It would be amazing to no end if two consenting adults legally adopted a sex toy, and the person literally meant "Please stop acting like that sex toy is just an inanimate object, because it is legally my adopted sister."
