Literally one word isn’t slang in that sentence. Impressive. I’m piping the beef trust.
beef trust | kidI don’t truck with beef trust, that’s how Fast Eddie ended up in the hoosegow
Is… is “pipe” the verb?
I SAID I WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
It is in computer programming terms.
Also in the ‘pipe down’ (shut up) sense
Don’t know what it means but I’m gonna say it nonstop from now on
Would you like to say a few words?
Yes: pipe that beef trust, slick!
yawn
Piping that beef trust is tiring work.
Did chatgpt get this right? I’m not sure I believe it.
Sure! Here's a translation of that 1950s lingo to modern English: "Pipe that beef trust, slick" = "Pay attention to that business situation, buddy!" In context, "pipe" could mean "listen" or "pay attention," "beef trust" refers to the business or situation (possibly a reference to the meatpacking industry or a specific business issue), and "slick" is a term of endearment or a way to address someone in a friendly but confident manner.Why would you want to make us scroll horizontally to read that?
Just use a quote

Oh I use jerboa on android and I dont have that issue. I like how code blocks look, but I’ll use quotes in the future lol
Oh, that surprises me. Can you send a screenshot? Code blocks are supposed to wrap because you don’t want code to look weird And indentations and white space are sometimes important.
I will admit that on mobile it doesn’t make too much sense because screens are so narrow.
I use Thunder, by the way.
Weird hey? I’m still experimenting with all the Lemmy apps; I’ll give Thunder a shot today!
Thunder is great. I feel like I tried them all, and it has the best mix of customization and solid features.
Surely beef trust in this context is how muscled the guy is, right?
The only thing I question is the definition for “pipe”. I’ve never heard it used to mean listen/pay attention. I’ve heard “peep” used in the manner, as in, “Peep that”. Just because I’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything though. The rest is correct though.
I have only heard it used in ‘pipe down’, meaning to be quite.
…and me thinking pipe meant condom
