Do you stand "in line" or "on line"

Well, the line is made up of people.....so I would say of course "in line".

Apparently JC likes clown noses is something that was brought up today in other threads.

For JC...........

(For some reason this picture makes me think of Mad Fran......)

Except for BoxsterCy, seriously, don't listen to him speakin' or writin' dat English.

With that said, I do say "by accident" and even after 40 plus years in Minnesota I don't say "Can you borrow me that."

The correct Minnesota vocabulary can be studied at length in the Coen Brothers' classic film "Fargo".

You betcha.

Yeah. I asked JC if he was referring to the definition that involved "slapping", and he said no.

My manager called me and told me to stop working and take the rest of the year off. I had 44 hours of vacation left that I would've forfeited and there are 5.5 working days left of the year, exactly 44 hours.

He's a good boss, hope I don't get shifted around.

In other news, I just popped my first beer of vacation!

OK, I went back - I didn't go down far enough. (How's that for a juicy double entendre?) So now I know what you're talking about. Pretty funny.

Any other clown face wouldn't have made me wonder. That one just is kinda of a winner

Oh, gosh, I was absolutely not clear. The red bolded part is my vote for why some say "on accident." I definitely do not want to appear so high and mighty that readers infer I am telling them to ignore our fine RTT posters.

Do you stand "in line" or "on line"

"In" unless there's an actual line on the floor or ground. Then I will stand "on" the line, regardless of whether there's a line to be in.

When a team finally figures things out and are succeeding do you say they are "on-track" or "untracked?"

On track. Especially if it's a track team.

It drives me crazy when idiot announcers say a team is trying to get untracked. It makes no sense.

I found this meme and had to post it - if I get banned, it'll be worth it. I know you're with me on this.

I go crazy with the hook and ladder. Hook and lateral folks.

Receiver 1 runs a hook, which is also known as a curl (looks like a fish hook), sometimes hooks are a little flatter or come back a little further but many times the same. Second receiver runs a drag, an out, stop and slant, anything that will place them right behind the reception a split second after it. It is then lateraled back to the second receiver. Hook and lateral.
