A question on teh funny
I have, in the past, used the phrase couldn’t find his own ass with both hands and an ass-map to describe someone who is particularly clueless. I use it often when describing Chuck Schumer. It’s a funny phrase. I like it. I mean, ass-map is comedy gold. But now I’m in a quandary. You see, I recently (and quite by accident) used the phrase couldn’t find his own ass with both hands . . . and his own ass in conversation. I started to use the old phrase and, in mid-thought, realized the audience had heard me use that phrase before. So, that came out. And I thought to myself Self, that’s pretty funny. It’s funny because he can’t find his ass with his ass. But ass-map is funny too. So, which is funnier?
By the way, that whole getting the language under control thing is no going very well.

Ass-map. The winner has to be ass-map. Borrowin’.

Yes, ass-map is funny, but I LOL’d with the “and his ass” phrase.
I totally am stealing both though. Totally.

Ass-map. It is now part of my lexicon. How does it feel to be someone who created a new phrase?

I’ll admit I’m probably falling prey to the “not invented here” syndrome, but I’ve always preferred “couldn’t find his own ass with both hands and a flashlight.”
Yeah, I know, that’s not what you asked for. Sue me.

I liked the phrase “Couldn’t find his own ass with both hands and a hunting dog.”
