This is horrifying, but the comment about the scoop not being released yet is hilarious in connection to Duke Nukem

The Sphinx : Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage…

Mr. Furious : …your rage will become your master? That’s what you were going to say. Right? Right?

The Sphinx : Not necessarily.

I wonder if there’s a word for when a whole phrase has two opposite meanings without one of the words in it being a contronym (or using sarcasm, etc)

The example that made me think of this is a song lyric:

And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before!

There’s the intended meaning of better than ever… But if I were to dance it would also be like I’ve never danced before.

How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like him!

Ah, yeah, I do think that would be ‘safer’ in a way

It might not be as utopian as you are thinking.

A famous one of these was the headline

Galaxy Nexus: Android Ice Cream Sandwich Guinea Pig

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ

When a strip tease goes just a bit too far.

I’m curious if it’s possible to explain how that’s enjoyable to you

Hmm. That may partially explain why every time I’ve tried to taste wine I ended up spitting it out.

people like sour candy because it’s delicious. :)

So far you seem to be the only person to even mention OP’s actual question… But the answer reads like nonsense to me personally.

What is it like to enjoy sourness? (Is that even something that can be described?)

That’s fair. I feel really frustrated that I can see what’s happening and have what feels like no options at all to deal with it.

All I know about it is that it’s a long way there.

And what country is going to accept mass political refugees from the USA?

You make it sound like that’s an easy option that everyone has.

Look up “bimonthly pay”.

Fortnightly is fine, so is biennial.

All of the other bi-timeperiod words are worthless because they mean both twice each time and every two times.

Biweekly and bimonthly each also meaning their respective reciprocals.

(Every two periods, or twice a period.)

If a technical term such as a frequency specifier has multiple incompatible meanings then it has no value and needs to stop being used entirely. Or one of the meanings chosen as correct and the others rejected forcefully (good luck with that)

The implied part is ‘rich’. It isn’t a guarantee.

In the US, “estates” sounds vaguely wealthy. For example, a fancy garage sale is an Estate Sale (which kinda implies a rich person died and this is their estate being liquidated.)

Why’d you have to call me out like that with those first three?

(Seriously, not keeping stuff is so difficult. It’s a strain on my marriage and I wish I could just flip a switch and not feel that instinct)
