All mouth, no trousers

'All mouth, no trousers' is a corruption of 'All mouth and trousers', the original meaning 'they have a big mouth and fancy trousers, but there's nothing behind either of them'. Corruption is likely due to the number of idioms following the "all __ no __" structure. Having said that, the corrupted form is equally prevalent, and can be interpreted differently to also mean the same. :) Kauri0.o (talk) 23:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Lord Buckethead and Vermin Supreme seem to know each other. Oh, the foolishness of the electorate! What a waste. (Your comment on a talk page reminded me of this picture. I simply had to share it.) - Rairyu75 (Talk) 05:48, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

I like this wiki

It has helped me, I put an effort to ring species, and really tried on an alien autopsy thing, I'm not especially brilliant but the bar knows how to call me out when I'm working in my field. I wouldn't ask you to know how to deal or to do that. I would ask you to not be too concerned when I've done that. while it's true, at my.core I want to upend any system, I am not against Rationalwiki. And I am not against you. Authority will always be the target of any aimless frustration but I swear I have loftier grievances than rational wiki. I was once offered a mod nomination and turned it down. It's not an enviable position, I would imagine it sucks all the time. I am not the bad guy, I have no ties to any other site, I've been trying reddit to post somewhere else. Neither of us is the bad guy, and I hope you believe my sincerity here, because I don't have many places to be this open. In any situation, I appreciate what you do and I don't envy the job. I'm not trying to make it harder, even if sometimes by nature I do. Torrent (talk) 11:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

The Seventh Seal

"But, also, remember the chessboard". So I finally got around to watching the movie... interesting... lots of allegory... problem with myself though is I was far better in math and science than I was in English and humanities. I enjoy when ideas are presented bluntly... maybe with a little bit of art. Are you saying one shouldn't get too preoccupied with American politics because, like the chessboard and the game played, it could be considered negligible when evaluated among life's other insensible (sometimes cruel) largess? Ugh now I'm being a bit too wordy myself. Impiricism (talk) 05:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

on recommendation

I've had few arguments that have had resolutions, but it wasn't for lack of my effort. It's hard to say nice things when you feel an imbalance but it important to know who you're talking to. I am impressed by your confidence and believe in your work, A little envious , but I want to address you directly.... Blame Spud, (I dunno if that works as a joke because I don't know you but that is real enough to make a comfortable joke, I actually really like Spud).but I would like to be friends at the very least.
