    I still cannot believe he buried his ex-wife in a drainage ditch off the side of a public driveway. I’ve seen more tasteful burials for dogs.

        Fortunately the tax break they did get did not apply to the entire golf course. But of course what a disgraceful, distasteful, and morally repugnant thing to do!

      This made me irrationally angry. Or maybe rationally angry. I can’t tell anymore.

      He’s only ever seen the word when it’s preceded by "drive-” and that’s how fast food places have decided to spell it.

      Meh, it’s Twitter and English desperately needs a spelling reform. Kinda similar to how Hitler abolished Gothic print / black letter.

          It… Really isn’t though? It is used on government road signage in the US. Its in the US dictionary and has been for decades.

          Not sure how that counts as ‘slang’.

            Yes, defined as non-standard. It may be time for you to look into abbreviations and why they exist.

      He was convicted of crimes and they’re trying to pretend it was unfair

      If you mean the bottom image, Trump had his ex wife buried on the grounds of one of his golf courses, most likely (but not explicitly stated to be why) to make it be considered a cemetery and thus tax exempt

    We have video of this guy doing a gum bump, clear as day, and nothing was said of it but a couple of late night jokes. Raise your hand if you think you would slide on that.

        Also called a gummer or number, referencing it’s numbing effects. It’s when you dip your finger in cocaine and rub it on your gums.

              Oh, I’ve done it plenty of times I just had no context and still don’t know what video y’all’re talking about. I’m certainly not going to look it up or anything.
