There’s a surprisingly more expansive demographic that pro tip applies to.

You called out “tip”, but you left “expansive” just lying there helpless?

[–] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Don’t worry, it’ll rise to the occasion

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Yepp, just the tip.

I'm 41f (going on 13 at times), and this is why my husband hates(loves) having me around the shop - all the mechanical everything is full of euphemisms and innuendo. "mating surfaces" 😂

Yeah, that tip is applicable for a lot of people who understand what sex is, this isn't something that really goes away with age in a lot of cases.

Are emojis acceptable here? Because I’d like to insert the hand raise one here

[–] Deez@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think yes, let’s make a new culture of restrained emoji use 🙌

Oh were they referring to praise hands? I thought they meant 🙋

[–] Deez@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was high fiving their raised hand

The Breakfast Club fist pump. There should be a dedicated emoji for that.
