As an American, I will refuse to call it fuckass gulf of america.
I dunno. That could be kinda snappy on a map. "Ok, let's see, here we have the North Atlantic, the Sargasso Sea, and the Fuckass Gulf of America."
... what's a fuckass?
I got your Donnie Darko reference.
It's just slang. I searched it on Startpage and it gives the definition : "used alone or as a noun or verb in various phrases to express annoyance, contempt, or impatience" which sounds right to me. I'd link it but I can't find where it sourced the definition.
Coming from lemmynsfw I would have figured you might know? Let me know if you learn anything in your research
It's a Donnie Darko reference. I'm surprised anyone cares who comes from what instance.
Nah, I don't care who comes from what instance but when it comes to anal references, I figured I'd make a bad joke, haha
I'm voting for Dukakis
Reference comments should stay on reddit.
Only if they detract from a discussion of substance.
Search for 'anal' in your Lemmy instance
Mmm mmm...
