| Apr 7, 2021 at 21:52 | comment | added | DamienC | I voted to close for the following reasons. (a) First of all there seems to be the exact same question on MSE. (b) I also observe that the answers below are just lists of expressions; people don't quite take the time to explain what it is about, what is funny about it, or just even provide a url; these answers are not very informative. | |
