    A lot of these are just normal things people say. Like, “what’s the damage” is just a normal way to ask a price in English.

    Eight-ish? Dad of two nearing fifty so I guess I’m on par for the course.

    One is discovered thanks to US memes is the dad uniform including New Balance. I bought some NB when I was in China and I have to say they really are comfy.

    The one about awkward loads is hilarious to me. Because it really is true though. You can lift a shit ton more if you’ve a good grip! I can hardly lift a washing machine, but I can carry one on my back without issue.

    I like to yell “HEY!” and point at a field full of hay bales. The wife almost always looks briefly concerned until she sees it, and then gives me the “a-doy” look. I think she secretly loves it though.

    I always say “flock of cows” to bait someone into saying “herd of cows” so that I can say “of course I’ve heard of cows!” Watching their faces is priceless.

      I do this from time to time but with bison. I will casually slip “flock of bison” into a conversation hoping someone corrects me to “herd of bison”. So I can say. “No I hadn’t heard about your bi son. You must be so proud.”

      there’s a chance the flock of cows would just pass me by unnoticed as i wrangle the conversation in my head and then hours later i realize something off about it in the shower or in bed

      In my language, there’s different words for body parts of animals versus humans. Like “paws” and “hands”. There’s one exception: horses should use the human words. I always use the animal form just to have people correct me
