I'm gonna #012

I'm gonna ask people if the are speaking in the figurative or literal sense whenever they use common metaphors and figures of speech. Once they tell me they mean it figuratively, I'll have a delayed reaction to whatever they said.



"That's some dumb shit!"

"Um, when you say shit, do literally mean that's an unintelligent bowel movement, or did you mean that figuratively?"

"Errr...I meant it figuratively - there's no bowel movement."

(Completely naturally as if this is my first response to the original statement) "Ha ha, yeah that shit is dumb!"
