Don't you want to be a bit careful about accepting Wavy Gravy's biscuits & gravy before you know ALL the ingredients?

What did you put in there?

Isn't it normal to throw your old socks in, if you think something is a washing machine?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

How can you be sure that's what it is?

 

[TBRS1]

If the old socks come out clean, isn't it proved via testing?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Didn't you say though, that you only use all natural, cruelty-free detergent that hasn't been tested on socks?

 

[TBRS1]

Don't you think that cruelty directed at, and the general attitude of disrespect shown to socks is something deserving much wider attention than it is currently getting from the media?

Is the Japanese word for socks (靴下 - lit. "under the shoe") part of the conspiracy against socks?

How else can one explain the glee at keeping all those billions of hard working articles of clothing in a socially constructed state of permanent oppression?

Is that how the phrase "Sock it to me" originated?

 

[Grondhammar]

Is the "it" in "sock it to me" a standin for "the socks", and the original phrase was just too confusing for people?

 

[TBRS1]

Why would people say "sock the socks to me" if they can just say "gimme the socks" without getting their tongue knotted up?

 

[NDR2]

How about putting a sock in it?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

And where would that be?

 

[tree]

What good would it do anyhow?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Isn't it crucial to know where to put the sock, when they instruct you to put a sock in it?

 

[TBRS1]

Isn't that normally defined by context - based on what is going on at the time, like if you can't find the bathtub stopper, and somebody says "put a sock in it" you automatically know they mean "in the bathtub drain"?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

In which scenario would you stuff socks in a bathtub drain?

 

[TBRS1]

How about that time when the sewer monsters were climbing out of the drain?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Why must you always bring this up at the dinner table?
