Does that phrase mean the same as “Give your balls a tug”?
He needs a Shawinigan handshake, not a head shake.
Yah know this cutesy “Make fun of Trump for being an idiot” rhetoric is nice and all, but how about people take a principled stand against the fact that he is a fascist trying to install a fascist regime.
I just wanted to share news and ask if “give your head a shake” means the same as “give your balls a tug”
My first thought too 😂
I’m not really trying to shit on you or anything, more so just wanted to express that I’m upset news outlets and politicians aren’t taking Trump seriously as a threat.
Trust me. Just because certain news sources aren’t taking him as a threat doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not a threat. However, I don’t know another community where I can post real facts WHILE asking for a comparison of slang
Kinda, how I understand the terms:
The shaking is in the hope to dislodge the thought.
The tug is to highlight the self gratification aspect of the statement.
They can be used similarly but have different tones.
Lots of talk of “give your head a shake” but for context, “give your head a shake” from Cretien is functionally “fucking donkey, tabarnak”.
Do I think even harsher words and action are necessary? Fuck yes. But this is a nuanced fuck you coming from him so at least gets a 3/10 instead of 1/10.
Edit: tabarnak
I just wanted to know if “give your balls a tug” means the same thing
Pretty much, but the Quebecois have a multiplier effect when using non-offensive English words that are like stem cells for beautiful insults.
i feel like maybe things would be better if he had kept his head perfectly still that one time
Or maybe he should have shook it harder
Maybe…if he does it underwater. Until the bubbles stop. Or on an active runway after firing more air traffic controllers.
I’ve only ever heard a Canadian say it, it means that they think your thoughts are all jumbled and if you shake your head a bit maybe some common sense will settle in. So maybe it’s Canadian slang, eh?
Yeah but Canadian slang just kind of hits in a certain way that makes your brain wonder. Like Canadian speech is like a sub-english, and i want to learn it
It’s not sub-english. That’s not how dialects are described.
I’d prefer to refer to it as sub-english because it’s English… but it makes more sense to Canadians (of a certain regions) than the rest of the world until the rest of the world hears it and then it makes perfect sense. It’s not a new language. It’s just using an old language in a new way. If it was a dialect it would be like everything described by Jeff Foxworthy with his “you might be a redneck” jokes
That’s like calling the English Australians speak as “sub-english.”
Also it just sounds wrong to refer to a dialect of a language as “sub-language” almost like you’re referring to people of a certain racial or ethnic group as “sub-people.” Just my two cents.

Sub-English?
Do you think they’re sub-human, too?
You all know they meant a subset of English and weren’t using it as a derogatory term.
Ok. I see what you’re doing. Nice try, but I don’t believe any person that speaks what I would consider a “sub-language” any lesser or pronouncedly different beyond region adaptations from around the world.
You can continue to make me look racist, but my first statement had nothing to do with race, culture, or religion. So trying to create a narrative to portray me that way is redundant and asinine
Then maybe pick a prefix that isn’t synonymous with “beneath/lower” if that’s the idea you’re trying to get across.
I’ll try to carefully use the short word for “substitute” a little better. I’d recommend learning all definitions of a word before you assume what people are saying
Sub- as a prefix does not mean substitute, though. The word “substitute” is made with that prefix but it doesn’t represent it any more than “submarine”.
So then beside what I told you, what if I meant “submarine-english”?
Just like that silly Mr. Hitler should have given his head a shake. Biting stuff against Nazis.
Fred should have given him a good shake in the crib
Maybe he did and we are living with the result because Fred stopped too soon.
how very canadian, nonsense weaksauce
Oh I’m sorry. Did I leave a sign out where it said “if you need a way to comment without contributing to conversation while boosting your irrelevant ego” out somewhere? My bad. I need to make sure I don’t have that sign displayed anymore
“give your head a shake”, lol, i mean, what, who says things like that outside a kindergarten playground, first graders would be mortified saying something that useless, toothless, banal, and they’d be mocked endlessly. “give your head a shake” for fucks sake, the man’s an worldender, give your balls a tug eh
So you begrudgingly answered my question. Thanks
I’m sorry I couldn’t hear you over the celebration of some canadian telling the fascist to “shake his head”
No need to listen. Just type. Not my problem there’s bullshit going on around you
give your head a shake, pal
Did it. Things still seem pretty clear… what next?
