Half the Godzilla x Kong reviews are "This is the worst movie ever" and half are "This is the best monster wrestling match ever" and maybe both are true!
please so in Appalachia there’s a saying you can use when someone asks, “how are you,” that goes “if I were any better, there’d be two of me.” Idk what it means tbh. You’re so good, you need two bodies to contain it? Who knows. We just say it.
Anyway one day I was reading about Appalachian English as a dialect, not just an accent, and that a lot of the phrases I used growing up and still do would make no sense to someone else out of context in another region and I thought that can’t be right. I talk like everyone else.
Then one day someone in Seattle asked how I was doing and I said, “well I ain’t twins.”
That’s not even the original saying. We just looked at each other in confusion like I got supernaturally possessed by the farmers’ almanac.
“Every day you will receive one thousand dollars in your bank account. But every time you lift a glass to your lips to take a drink, you will hit your front teeth on the first try. Every. Time. Do you accept this deal?”
There's too much respect for authority in America. Many people look favorably on cops and soldiers and some of them even admire politicians and businessmen. It's not a mindset conducive to virtue.
