- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

I know the proper name, I also know that Benny didn't finish the 8th grade Smith is going to have no fucking idea what a Robertson is on the job site.
But he knows what a Philips head is? If he was Canadian, he would know Robertson.
Dumbing the world down for Benny is only hurting the both of you. I truly believe that some people are just shockingly stupid and that’s the end of it but you say Roberston enough times, without being an asshole, and even they will figure it out.
And, if you're my dad, you say "the red-handled robbie" or "point the damned flashlight at the screw, genius".
I gave up, people I worked with would call both drills and impact drivers "screw guns"
