It should be renamed the Gulf of How Does This Lower the Cost of Groceries Again?

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gulf of fluffing people with empty promises

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"empty promises" is of course more precisely worded as "outright lies".

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gulf of Lies DOES have a nice RPG ring to it 😁

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

I should write this one down for my RPG that will never get made

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

no joking allowed, I gotta complain here too

Relax, doomer. Or don't and visit one of the thousand threads where serious discussion is happening instead.

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Their comment was a joke, in case you missed it.

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 58 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oil companies regularly blowing their load all over the Gulf

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 days ago

I was thinking that with all the "no one will notice, we don't have to report that" oil well blowouts, we should include Key West and make it the Gulf of M.U.C.K.

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (3 children)

An alternative suggestion - do what they did with UTC. It's an acronym of both "coordinated universal time" and "temps universel coordonné", which doesn't work in either English or French so everyone is equally unhappy

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've seen the meme about using the average of Fahrenheit and Celsius to make everyone unhappy, but I didn't know they actually did it with UTC.

My favourite thing about XKCD is how every now and then someone links one but other than that I keep forgetting to check it, so any time I return there's several new ones!

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Gulf of Canada

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

More like Gulf of M.U.C. from all the oil spills

[–] livingcoder@programming.dev 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm just going to start pronouncing it "The Gulf of MEH-he-co", really laying on a heavy Spanish accent for clarity.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Just go full on Golfo de México.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I support this resolution. All in favor say cum.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I also suggest, that in celebration of renaming it to the Cum Gulf, a party should be thrown, were people are drinking the newly legalized raw milk from three fancy goblets, named the Cum Goblets, and each country would have its own to keep.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I was president and retarded like our president I would totally cue this in! People all over would visit more. Good for tourism.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wish our president was just stupid and not incompetent and evil.

Stupid presidents would just do things like fund insane plans for moon colonies or undersea military bases because it’s cool.

Instead we have an incompetent old man who has been given a list of easy to follow steps for dismantling American democracy.

It's better to cum in gulf that to golf in cum ...
(maybe, idk)

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Better to Cum in the Gulf than to Gulp the Cum

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

That does explain the temperature and saltiness.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The stickiest gulf in the world.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

That risks turning the Mississippi into a slippery slope.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

What's wrong with that "Cum" has a non-lewd meaning too

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago
[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I feel like the squirt emoji would overlay and fit nicely into that sexy little gulf

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I'd be okay with this. Now everyone is included.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

United States of Mexico

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I mean, it tastes as salty as the real thing

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It can have multiple names, it's a triple border. The world will still call it gulf of mexico tho

The period that’s supposed to go after the ‘m’ got deported to Colombia.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, CUM is Canada United states & Mexico

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Or MUSC-- oh shit I think we're on to something.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

I can't believe we are actually discussing this ...
