Just throwing it out there?

PhlubbaDubba ,

Well it can certainly involve being a piece of shit

Kiernian ,

I heard Jack O'Neill and Teal'c in my head on this one.

J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I'm going to throw down!

T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O'Neill?

J: What?

T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?

Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism "throwing up" to Teal'c last night after Sam's bout in the infirmary and I'm guessing he thinks the reverse means

J: No!

J: I'm perfectly... Continent.

Filling in a form is the same thing as filling out a form.

Being "up for" something is the same as being "down with" something.

"You're shit" and "you ain't shit" mean the same thing.

"Giving in" and "giving out" sometimes mean the same thing.

English is a delightful mess of redundancy and contradictions.

"You're the shit" means the opposite of "you're shit" and "you ain't shit"

BakerBagel ,

"I'm cooking" and "I'm cooked" are also total opposites.

He's a Finnish standup comedian living in the US. He's got a few good bits on the English language.

Mr_Wobble ,

In my neck of the woods, "throwing down" means either to pay into something, or fighting.

over_clox OP ,

Yeah, means basically the same here too, sometimes also means to party hard. Just being silly, English has way too many inconsistencies..

Mr_Wobble ,

Just made me realize that partying shares a lot of slang with fighting. Throw down, bash, rage, rave. All pretty violent words. I love language.

I’ve got another one, banger

Mr_Wobble ,

Where people often get smashed.

Good one!

And then we have “plastered” which I guess means we have some very violent drunken artists coming up with all our drinking slang.

KillerTofu ,

And mash!

Lost_My_Mind ,

I thought partying was buying the biggest bag of chips there is......and if you're like me, eating them all by yourself in 1 night....

Rhynoplaz ,

Ah shit. I guess I'm a PARTY ANIMAL!!!

Mr_Wobble ,

Nah man, you're doing it right. You're throwing down on the on the most bestial bag you can find and absolutely smashing the fuck out of it!

"Bro, do you wanna throw down or what?!"

[Proceeds to shit pants]

over_clox OP ,

Sharting is farting, just with a warm beverage.
