Where are you from :)?

Maybe the intended idiom, or either of the other 2 interpretations of the wording, have confused you because of nationality differences?

[–] Murvel@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What in the everloving fuck are you talking about? I'm asking you to explain what you meant, when you said to

also point a number of other fingers

It's not even an idiom. It just sounds like you just misquoted the actual idiom 'pointing fingers at'

At this point It's going to be more fun for myself to leave you in the dark.

You may always wonder from this moment onward why people upvoted me and down-voted you.

One day when you least expect it, I'll give you a hint :)

I also didn't understand what you meant by that. What did you mean by that?

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll spoil it for them: it's because they're dumb, combative, openly chauvinistic and convinced that anything they can't understand is the fault of the person explaining it to them when what you said was clear, concise and demonstrably correct.

[–] Murvel@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago

You have got to be joking. We asked the person to clarify a confused idiom. How the fuck did you equate that with whatever drivel you just wrote?

Oh, grow up, I don't care about points, lmao. I just thought you wanted to discuss the subject, why else waste the time.
