Yes, but zombie MJ will still pop up to perform that dance interlude from Thriller…

Thriller… for real now!

EDIT: To give a bit of context, it came up on a quiz where we were convinced Michael Jackson was the right answer, and a team mate came up with that when it wasn’t.

Adam Sharp on Bluesky: "My favourite variant of “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is a colloquial Swedish phrase that goes kasta inte bäver i trähus. It means “do not throw beavers in wooden houses”

Say cone, now say scone. It’s cone with an s. Begone, anyone who uses gone as justification.

My linguistics wife like to remind me both are acceptable, as she says it wrong. But where’s the fun in that!

Reminds me of this from Adam Sharp on Bluesky:

"There’s a fun trend in Argentinian slang of describing someone with an overly high opinion of themselves as a powerful fictional character, but of a tiny territory. My favourite examples are
“Yeti of the fridge freezer,”
“Aquaman of the toilet bowl,” and
“Tarzan of the flowerpot”

And it’s fun to create similar names for people with overly high opinions of themselves. For example:

Blackbeard of the bathtub
Sasquatch of the herb garden
Samurai of the butter knives
Poseidon of the paddling pool
Hannibal of the lectern
Lord of the ringbinder
Wolfgang Amadeus Flowchart "
