Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Someone should really tell everyone from the south. I had no idea until it was pointed out to me by someone younger. Changed my behavior of course, but was simply ignorant before.

A lot of people use certain words just out of habit, the last thing you need is some SJW jumping down your throat and calling you names cause they don't like your regional dialect. Lots of words I grew up with that were normal or not that bad, and now are considered super offensive. It's not a malicious thing, all you can do is calibrate and learn, but some people get so worked up if you don't use the words they're used to

Why did you refer to it as shoving something down your throat?

I don't get why the saying is "shoving it down your throat" or "jumping down your throat" when it's more like shoving it down your ear canal. You don't eat what people are saying 🤔
