One of my co-workers came back in the shop with a box left near our break area. As soon as they opened it, everyone knew exactly what it was. Except one person innocently asking what that transparent, silicone thing with lips is. Oh dear.. Please stay the way you are

He's trimming the hedges in broad daylight. Sure it sounds like a euphemism, and it could be.

Fatigue just mean tiredness in my language. I'm fatigued every night for instance

timegoodaforhere t1_j6pcxti wrote

Fatigued means tired in English too. Dude is just an idiot.

partty1 t1_j6pdr8e wrote

Usually people do use fatigued to distinguish between something like a small cold or a flu. They have similar symptoms but usually a flu is accompanied by fatigue and reduction in strength. It's why fatigue is usually one of the options along side tiredness and muscle aches when describing illnesses to a nurse.

Yes, but people say “I’m sick and tired” didn’t think I needed to explain to English speakers

BorderlineWire t1_j6pivo1 wrote

It’s a U.K. English thing but has nothing to do with being unwell. Sick and tired of next doors noise for example. Fatigue doesn't really fit the saying.

Can’t have nooks without crannies apparently, whatever the fuck crannies are. Use crannies in any sentence by itself

Edit: well, I learned something today

cran·ny /ˈkranē/

noun

plural noun: crannies

a small, narrow space or opening.

How’d you go from narrow nightdark to general frost? Some sort of reverse Darth Vader story or something?

Like you started out evil and then grew up to become a great do-good leader who finds out he has a son from a time he had when he was still evil but really close to becoming good.

I’m looking forward to summer when work ends before sunset so my wife and I can go back to committing walks in broad daylight.

Wouldn’t daylight already be broad since it covers a very large area?

SteveInMotion t1_j6okw0l wrote

Yes, but nobody ever says that apart from a crime being committed. Which is why OP’s line makes sense.

vmicozzi t1_j6ofyfn wrote

Exactly! Do we have narrow daylight at some point, maybe this is an outdated phrase that needs to go...like pitch black...I don't think I've ever seen pitch

anally_ExpressUrself t1_j6p9ium wrote

We also rarely hear about other sources of broad light. Broad moonlight. Broad candlelight. Broad fluorescent light.

brinazee t1_j6penrm wrote

Re the moon: probably because the only time it's bright enough to be broad is under the full moon, so full moonlight is used instead.
