I'm talking about the sauce not vinegar. Thats a seperate - obviosluy UK or Euro specific - idiom Milo.

I was introduced to eating vinegar on fries by some Nuns from Louisiana!

I never said dropping a ketchup bottle was an American idiom. I said eating ketchup with fries is an American idiom. I said dropping a glass of water (or anything really) is a stock, old-school, slapstick gag. I'm sure plenty of people around the world, including Americans, are familiar with that.

This wasn't a glass of water; and vaudeville is dead.  Most of the people who saw that image knew perfectly well what it implied. And again, there's absolutely no context in the song for the schtick you're describing.

Besides, blood splatter patterns have unique characteristics because of the consistency of blood, and the fact that it is under pressure inside the body. Splattered blood doesn't just come out looking like a blob. It typically includes directional patters. Of course now someone is sure to come up with a picture of a blood stain that looks just like the ketchup to "prove" me wrong.

I doubt anyone needs to prove anything.  Everyone here seems to get it.

Of course, it would be a bit more soothing to just let this thread devolve into an international discussion about condiments.

What is a broken bottle considered in redneck circles?

A symbol of peace?

A broken bottle with a jagged end can be a very effective weapon in a fight, especially if you can hit your opponent in the face with it.

And then you can put the product on fries.

We really should have that discussion in the condiment aisle.

'Going down on' can mean to perform fellatio (or cunnilingus) on someone.

Ok. Thanks Lynne.

I woke up this morning and suddenly remembered that song.  I think journalists should press Willie Nelson to make a public statement about that song.  How could he have done it?

That shit ain't right, huh?  Seemed to be ok when he was getting paid for it to be on the soundtrack.

::)

As for Kenny Chesney, gay rumors have followed him for years......especially since Renee Zwellwiger divorced him for "fraud".


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

I could take you to some honkytonks in small town Texas ,and mostly likely you would see what
the significance of a broken bottle means.
