can you explain this to a brit

Typically the joke is that you escape family on Thanksgiving with your cousins to go on a walk and get high before returning. This twists it and adds incest

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 47 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I didn't know we were supposed to get high! We just got out of the family for a while

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 60 points 3 months ago (6 children)

I didn't get high, I didn't get laid... goddamn, how much of life did I miss?

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

It's never too late to follow your dreams!

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago

Did you at least sneak a smirnoff ice out of the basement and share it on your walk?

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was supposed to get laid with my cousin, but then I didn't get high

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now I'm uninvited to gatherings, and I know why.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

Because I didn't get high
Didn't get high
Didn't get hi-igh

You have their number? Fuckin' get after it

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Wait, seriously? You guys didn't realize that you were supposed to smoke weed on "the walk"? That's hilarious.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sounds more like getting into them for a while tbh

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But the tweet doesn't even mention nonces

[–] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Incest isn't ALWAYS pedophilia.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

I meant the Royal Family are nonces. They're incestous too, but that's besides the point

Sure! Thanksgiving is principally a national holiday in the U.S. that traces its roots to religious and historical traditions from England, particularly during the early 17th century colonies in the New World.

It’s meant to be an autumn harvest holiday. The apocryphal story is that Puritans sat down with Native Americans to feast and celebrate goodwill between their respective groups but the evidence for this is suspect at best.

Over time, Thanksgiving became more popular and involves heavy travel during the (pre-) holiday season. It’s a chance for families to enjoy each others’ company before Christmas and feast on roast turkey and a variety of vegetable dishes.

Hope this helps! Go with God.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is most instructional in this regard.

So you're saying she did nothing wrong?

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They appear to be from Birmingham.

Not the UK one.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Does distinguishing country actually matter here?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The American Birmingham is in Alabama, which has a certain reputation relevant to this meme.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So does the original Birmingham, which is why they said that.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Really? I feel I would have heard of it at some point in my handful of decades living in the UK.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yes, in the UK you have to say “bap tide”

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

So, they should know?
