An excellent case of cutting-edge technology meeting consumer needs.

For example, I frequently stream some money to my mouth so I can eat it.

Me: Dang! another loss! My chips are low, so this time, I'm going to double my bet and put it on a single row of numbers...

Observer: Strategic brilliance, here at roulette, he is placing fewer, massive bets! The house won't be able to counter this one!

(House wins again) Well, nevertheless

A Tintin comic strip in three panels: in the first, a gorilla drops an unconscious Tintin in surprise, while Snowy the dog (off screen to the left) barks "Wooah!"
In the second panel, Tintin lies stunned on the floor (dressed, inexplicably, in a kilt) while Snowy chases the gorilla off, barking "Wooah! Wooah! Wooah!"
In the third panel, Snowy turns to Tintin and says That's seen him off, Now let's attend to Tintin. 

Note that in French, 'Wooah' sounds like "wow!" as in "bow wow"

I get strong Snowy-from-Tintin vibes whenever I see this word. Love that Snowy's barks were not translated!

Observed in the wild outside a coffee shop in the Home Counties, England, UK:

Person 1: oh sorry
Person 2: sorry! I'm late!
Person 1: sorry I didn't know what to order for you.
Person 2: sorry! I should have messaged you.
Person 1: sorry!
Person 2: sorry!

Never seen Mad Men, The Wire, The Sopranos. Been to a Mad Men themed stag party, though.

Until the start of this year I had never seen any Game of Thrones. Now seen them all.

I've also never seen The Great Escape, which was - as far as I can tell - compulsory Christmas viewing the UK.

I'm still waiting for the perfect recycling crusher bin, which will compress everything into tiny blocks, like a car crusher.

If you live in a market with a MLR team grab a game (if you’re in Seattle come find me there). It’s a really fun experience. You don’t need to understand the rules; the stands are full of people who played and will be happy to tell you what’s going on.
