Rhetorical questions are supposed to make a point, and I'm asking you what that point was.

Now my question is semi-rhetorical because while you could answer, it's pretty clear that your question was just a phrase you saw somewhere that you're trying to use as an insult even if it doesn't quite fit the context.

This is an old Steven Wright joke. It's fine to steal it and use it on your young relatives, but stealing it and giving it to a bigot is kind of shitty.

Also it flows better without the "already". It's supposed to be punchy and absurd. Omit needless words.

Ok, but what am I like that you were asking about?

That's strange to me. Only two examples come to my mind and they're both literal. Whatever examples you've seen of it being used figuratively didn't make it to the dictionary.

Corpulent means fat. Is the technology fat?

Second time this week I've had an occasion to use this gif. Shame I couldn't find one with more pixels.

I've had this happen so many times, although I think they can't usually detect me.

This happened with my daughter's teacher. At one point she told us that she had ADHD and I was like... yeah, duh. This parent teacher conference has been going on for two hours, because we both have ADHD.

Too difficult. Better to ask someone who's good at painting to do it for you. Then you can give them something, as a sign of respect, to compensate them for their time.

It's the perfect casting. What better option could there be for a 1990s nostalgia bait movie than to defrost 1993-era Jim Carrey?

My wife used to work on that kind of research. Interesting stuff. She left that job to research cancer instead.

Aging, maybe. Once cancer's gone, why not?

Fun Fox Fact: the word "geckering" refers to the laughter-like sound made by several mammals including hyenas and monkeys, but the word "gekkering" is used specifically to foxes.

I made this meme a few years ago and posted it to reddit. It immediately got gold and then barely any upvotes. I've always wanted to find a place to repost it, because it's a joke I'm proud of.

I think she likes it here because we don't seed grass, so there's lots of clover for her to munch on. I'm not sure where she sleeps, but some days she sits in the same spot all day.

She still runs from the kids sometimes, but I can walk just a few feet away from her and she'll just watch.

And I definitely didn't accidentally step on any crayons in the process.
