Lots of talk of “give your head a shake” but for context, “give your head a shake” from Cretien is functionally “fucking donkey, tabarnak”.
Do I think even harsher words and action are necessary? Fuck yes. But this is a nuanced fuck you coming from him so at least gets a 3/10 instead of 1/10.
Edit: tabarnak
I just wanted to know if "give your balls a tug" means the same thing
how very canadian, nonsense weaksauce
Oh I'm sorry. Did I leave a sign out where it said "if you need a way to comment without contributing to conversation while boosting your irrelevant ego" out somewhere? My bad. I need to make sure I don't have that sign displayed anymore
"give your head a shake", lol, i mean, what, who says things like that outside a kindergarten playground, first graders would be mortified saying something that useless, toothless, banal, and they'd be mocked endlessly. "give your head a shake" for fucks sake, the man's an worldender, give your balls a tug eh
So you begrudgingly answered my question. Thanks
I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over the celebration of some canadian telling the fascist to "shake his head"
No need to listen. Just type. Not my problem there's bullshit going on around you
give your head a shake, pal
Did it. Things still seem pretty clear... what next?
You sound like Trump. lol. You’re the best head shaker.
And you sound like someone who's perpetually on the internet that gets their only validation by rage bating. Funny where life takes us isn't it?
I don’t hear you denying it.
Ditto
I've only ever heard a Canadian say it, it means that they think your thoughts are all jumbled and if you shake your head a bit maybe some common sense will settle in. So maybe it's Canadian slang, eh?
Yeah but Canadian slang just kind of hits in a certain way that makes your brain wonder. Like Canadian speech is like a sub-english, and i want to learn it
It's not sub-english. That's not how dialects are described.
I'd prefer to refer to it as sub-english because it's English.... but it makes more sense to Canadians (of a certain regions) than the rest of the world until the rest of the world hears it and then it makes perfect sense. It's not a new language. It's just using an old language in a new way. If it was a dialect it would be like everything described by Jeff Foxworthy with his "you might be a redneck" jokes
Yah know this cutesy "Make fun of Trump for being an idiot" rhetoric is nice and all, but how about people take a principled stand against the fact that he is a fascist trying to install a fascist regime.
I just wanted to share news and ask if "give your head a shake" means the same as "give your balls a tug"
I'm not really trying to shit on you or anything, more so just wanted to express that I'm upset news outlets and politicians aren't taking Trump seriously as a threat.
Trust me. Just because certain news sources aren't taking him as a threat doesn't necessarily mean he's not a threat. However, I don't know another community where I can post real facts WHILE asking for a comparison of slang
i feel like maybe things would be better if he had kept his head perfectly still that one time
Or maybe he should have shook it harder
