"You think about strange men's genitals a lot, don't you?"
Depends how likely an actual productive conversation was. It's not an invalid question without context. With the typical coconuts, yeah maybe just embarrass them.
...? Brown on the outside, white on the inside? Like a white-washed Indian person?
It's a meme, it means "context" here.
I'm not really getting it even after reading that page, but thank you lol
Uhh, yeah, it actually doesn't explain as well as I had hoped. The bit about "you exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you" took on a life of it's own, and it's associated with the idea that context is important. Maybe I'm in a small meme bubble, though. I probably won't make that reference again.
Haha, thank you for the explanation. Yeah, I'd heard of the clip, but never heard of that usage of coconuts.
I'm also probably older than the average memer, lol
On the contrary: it is more than famous enough as a right-wing "gotcha" question that's very fair to assume it's invalid by default. Positive context would be necessary to justify treating it as genuine.
Agreed. I more meant that the context is unknown here.
Or... "You seem to want to talk about sex a lot. Is everything OK at home?"
