Insomniac: 'This is a cute name that we came up with from the metal production process!'
Britain: 'haha sex joke'
there is something super-innocent about the fact that whoever people they had to oversee the writing or branding or whatever wasn't well-connected enough to know british slang
@balrogboogie @dzuk it's true. That's why there's nothing funny at all about Seattle's Senior Housing Assistance Group and their slogan:
@eldang @balrogboogie NOOOOOOOOO
@eldang tbh I haven't heard shag being used since Austin Powers was a thing but it's still burned into my brain
@dzuk Yeah, I definitely think of it as dated. But that film was so successful that I can't imagine shag's management are oblivious to the implications here.
@eldang IDK, if they're old now, they probably would have been too old to appreciate or even notice Austin Powers when it came out
@dzuk Yeah, but I assume management is a much broader cross-section of ages than the clientele.....
@dzuk didn't you know? we americans own slang, there is no other slang outside of american slang /s
