Dumbass Sayings: “Show The Ropes”

(Showing the ropes)

When you’re showing someone new at work how the dildo machine fills the molds with plastic and rubber that’s called “Showing someone the ropes.” Why? There are no ropes. Who the hell deals with ropes anymore? It’s the year 2014. The only time you can show someone the ropes these days is if you’re showing someone how to hang themselves. If that’s the case, what the hell are you doing? Why are you teaching someone how to commit suicide? What are you some kind of sicko? And why is anyone listening to you? Wouldn’t you want to learn suicide from an expert? Clearly if the teacher is alive he can’t know shit about killing himself so that doesn’t make any sense. Hangings aren’t even that popular anymore so why is this term “Showing the ropes” still used? Unless you’re showing someone who to tie a boat to a dock this is a completely outdated stupid phrase that needs to stop.
