I'm strongly considering this as my inflatable costume of choice.

An inflatable banana costume, where the peel has been split in a fashion to make the interior of the banana appear to be a giant phallus.

Already publicly apologised for the error, but this is a good time to repeat the apology.

In my day job, one of the best ways to earn a gaze of withering scorn is to ask me to write a "PRY-mer" on something.

This primer is gonna get someone's ass kicked

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Who among us does not realise that a ska revival has already *happened*?

This isn’t really what I meant by “Surprise T. Swift Album” but people do seem pretty surprised, so I’ll take it.

My 2025 Bingo Card. Surprise T. Swift album is now crossed out.
