To explain, for those like me who don’t know:

soup du jour just means “soup of the day;” or “today’s soup;” it’s just whatever soup is sold that day.

Honestly, it still works even if it was a specific soup, this just makes it much better.

I need to find more opportunities to use “I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetrate” in my life. Preferably over completely banal things.

I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetrate, but you could always use the phrase as a complete non sequitur.

I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetuate, but comment replies shouldn’t make me laugh out loud.

Extra insulting when you have to get the manger over. Even babies know the difference between a strip steak and a ribeye

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
