Or we could rename Siri as Kitty and then we can say "Here Kitty, Kitty!"

My psychiatrist insists I'm dyslexic, racist with germophobic tendencies.

How dare he! My best friend is Austrian.

I don't get the germophobe angle.

I don't get the germophobe angle.

Germophobe could easily be misread as Germanphobe, and racists will (stereotypically) negate their racism by claiming relations to someone of a different race (not necessarily, and often not, the race they were criticizing). Hence the mapping to Austrian.

Hey! Check it out! Man-OverBoard poles for bikes!

Do you think they use the 'Quick Turn' technique for retrieval or the 'Figure Eight'?

I guess it depends on how much windage the bike gets when hove-to.

My classmate and I demonstrated the Barn Pole paradox. I drew the two barn doors on the blackboard, and he pretended to run at them. He was Polish.

(True story, after that, no one in Modern Physics class had a clear understanding of the paradox, but we had a lot of fun demonstrating it. We changed Special Relativity that day.)

I am told this is one of the reasons NATO developed a standard reporting language. Some time during the Korean war an American commander failed to recognise that a British officer reporting being in "a sticky situation" meant the same level of desperation as an American officer reporting "we're all gonna die!" (i.e., completely out of ammo and being overrun) and basically ignored the message instead of urgently enquiring after the details and doing something.

What's the difference between a language and a dialect? A language is just a dialect which developed an army and navy.

The worst part is, as a Brit, I'm not even surprised
