Who Came Up with This? 

What's that?

​@@eadweard.iykyk

@@eadweard. It is a quote from Conan the Barbarian

The third leg is behind Simon’s arm.

That “center leg” is actually a stabilizer and is not a leg, the third leg is behind the one on the left. It is a tripod with a center stick.

@@M-_-O Are we taking about the lamp or about Simon?

I did not hit her!

Executives need the facade that they actually work so they force themselves into processes when they aren't needed or wanted.

You are tearing me apart

I can't remember who said it for certain, but I think Churchill said, "If there had been a committee, Columbus would still be in dock."

No. That is based on the ubiquitous army order "Carry on Sergeant", which was the title of the first "Carry On" film.

@@RogerRoving And also the double meaning of a bit of Carry on in the films as in Shenanigans.

So much better than that “keep calm and ____” crap

​@@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245 it's as annoying as "we will cross that bridge when we get there" or the classic " everything will be fine"

Know where your towel is

@@peggywoods4327 Only Always

Beat me too it!! 😂❤✌️​@@peggywoods4327

Whenever I hear the phrase "Carry On", I think of those movies.

I was posted to W Germany in the mid 80's while serving with the US Army. Ya know there was a flip side of the over here thing. It was, the Brits were under paid, under sexed and under Eisenhower. LoL. Cheers from Tennessee

Yes, I was a Summer Intern in Berlin in 1984. I was not part of any military force, but I was staying near the US Army Sector of Berlin. I had never heard of "Keep Calm and Carry On" nor "Over paid, Over sexed, and Over here'. My German father, his 3 brothers all fought and returned from the Eastern Front in WWII. Their father was at Verdun in WWI. No one ever cried such slogans.

@@VladislavBabbitt I'll bet my bottom dollar they shouted;Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer though. And Gott mit Uns. Don't delude yourself. Everybody had slogans. It is what it is. Cheers

@@Hillbilly001 Yes, my father and his brothers grew up under Hitler and their father grew up during WWI. I am from Canada, so all I knew was saying "Sorry" all the time, in any language, haaaaa! xD I had learned German is secondary school, as I had done the School System from France in Montreal (not the French-Canadian one). We were a bunch of international students from many countries, all spending the summer of 1984 in Berlin. We were part of 2 organizations called IAESTE and AIESEC. The former was for engineering students and the latter for commerce students. It was a magical time to be in Berlin. Cheers!

@@VladislavBabbitt Don't really care that you're a Canadian, but to say that they didn't have slogans is rather silly. My great grandmother's youngest brother fought in the first war on the Austro-Hungarian side. His son fought in the second in the German Army also on the Eastern Front. Her oldest son fought in the US Army during the first war even though he was born in Europe. My family has fought in every war since the Revolution.(Mother's side of the family) I served in the US Army as a Ranger for 12 years and was deployed twice to combat. Soldiering I understand, but to have a blanket statement that slogans weren't bandied around is quite delusional. Believe me when I say that you owe no one an apology for something you weren't even born yet. I visited them in W. Germany and was not well received at first because I was an American soldier, but once they found out I had fought communists on Grenada in 83, they changed and I was welcomed as family. Cheers

stand clear of the doors please!

Good writers with a good presenter.

@@Grinnar Yes.

I bet he can fit an enormous amount of something else,inside of something else ;)

"Loose Lips Sink Ships."

It's not a 21st century phenomenon lol He just explained when it was created.Whatever you're on,I will take two lol

You didn't watch it properly did you?

What a wonderful phrase. I never would have guessed what it meant when I googled it. That's definitely going into the vault of insults.

Fun fact: that expression made its first appearance ( or one of them, at least ) in popular culture when Gene Kelly said it to Judy Garland in the movie "Summer Stock" in the early 1950s...except he said "Thursday."

Thanks! :-)

🍺?

Agreed. While definitely not nearly as popular or 'memed' as it is now, I definitely saw it on t-shirts and the like on occasion pre-2005. Those people might have helped make it viral, but it was hardly a lost phrase.

What are you on?

@@jeffdroog They sound clear to me.

@@HikuroMishiro It seems that (in the minds of many) not/no longer popular = lost.

Perhaps he should do a "Today I Found Out" Video on all the words whose pronunciations he trashes - no, it would take far too long...

@@nightwishlover8913 Words are just sounds strung together. What's right or wrong is a matter of opinion. Ask any linguist.

@@SilverionX Especially the cunning ones

​@@SilverionX Yes and no - of course pronuciations aren't "true", but there are generally accepted ones, and "redolent" with a long, stressed second syllable is not one of them, according to either the Oxford Dictionary of English or Webster's Unabridged; how a word is pronounced CAN change over time (just take "route", which, AFAIK, was pronounced like "root" both in UK and US as late as 20 years ago, whereas now more and more people pronounce it like "rout"), but redolent? No change since my school days 50+ years ago that I'm aware of.

Of course, without Simon's extremely creative way of pronouncing just about any non-British proper name, "redolent" would hardly be worth a mention.

We need a youtube hunger games...May Simon be the last man standing.

And it is a government's work which is, for most part, in public domain.

@@anushagr14 exactly, like, I'd have thought the govt. may have had some say over it's use during the war, but otherwise it'd be public domain from the get-go, due to the nature of it's origin... and if not, then I'd think it was passed the 80yr limit on copyrights. if some rando can copyright anything _after_ it's copyright has expired, or that's public domain, then I need to copyright a BUNCH of stuff, and demand payment from a BUNCH of rich folk 🤣 OOH! I'll copyright the words "Microwave Oven" so any company that put that on it's microwaves in the last 30yrs has to pay me back-royalties!

Watched it at X5 Found out firster

Who is Earl Bird? I want to find out when he does! Lol

@@tylerchrist3249 🤣🤣 I think I accidentally changed it when I edited another typo 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️
