This wouldn’t happen if y’all spelt cheque correctly.
The etymology of cheque and the reason it’s spelled that way is wonderful. Cheques are so called because they were a check on fraud (compared to an IOU anyway). That meaning of check comes from what you say in chess when you endanger the opponent’s king, and this comes from the Persian word for king, Shah. (The “h” is pronounced, and became a hard “k” sound in English).
The same game gave its name to the checkerboard. That kind of board was used in medieval England for the royal accounts or Exchequer. Like many things royal it retained more of its French roots in its spelling. In British English, when the word “check” (spelled that way) was applied to the financial instrument, the financial association ended up lending the French spelling to monetary cheques. But Americans didn’t call their treasury an exchequer and if they had they probably would’ve spelled it wrong anyway - so they had no reason to do the same thing, and here we are.
Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Fuck off Frenchie ♥️
Or just not an idiot American.
“check”
That can’t be it.
Chick.
Who can’t help smiling when they see a fat little baby chicken.
I was thinking more about Queen and their song about girls that make the rocking world go round.
“Penis”
Thank you
Lmao I remember seeing those from that angle too. I think that ad hasn’t been up for awhile though (someone at the firm probably noticed)
look folks. It can’t be “cock” because the word is to long to be one
“Cock Please”
Based on width, it’s covering two letters, so it’s probably “cluck”. So, get yourself a chicken.
It’s clearly “cock” so you should make sure to get a rooster.
A great big one!
And fat too!
I feel like this is pretty obvious.
A big fat chick obviously!
We’ll it’s definitely not “cheque”.
Last time this was posted I thought “crack”.
I thought it was an ad for a chiropractor.
Crack can always ease the pain.
Also works if you smoke crack.
No particular reason, but which rapid transit system is this? I know it isn’t the DC Metro; NYC Subway? London Underground? Chicago L?
is nyc
It’s not Chicago. Kinda looks like NYC but I can’t confirm.
For me it causes pain? Am I doing it wrong?
I know what Peaches would say.
Damn ig he’s a chubby chaser
Cocks?
It’s amazing how a big fat chick can ease the pain.
Actually I have a friend who’s a chubby chaser, but he’s got a hernia. His girlfriend is getting pretty huge, and last time she topped him, he was in excruciating pain. So in that case, a big fat chick makes the pain worse. I told him it’s time to stop bottoming until his hernia is healed, and he sounded mournful.
