Was just thinking after referencing Burnley earlier that happened YEARS ago with a former poster. I expect some posters newer here must get confused often.
So, let’s say someone needed to study TWTD’s history for a TV special, and you had to summarise a TWTD exclusive saying or contextual quirk in relation to it’s origin/meaning, what would you say? |  |

Fish puns - why do we do it? Why? You get sucked in but there is no enjoyment in all these tedious word associations; however it just takes one and then they are all over the plaice. |
Eel get upset with you if his thread disintegrates into 8 pages of puns for cod sake. He already thinks you're a bit of a sole. |  |

Given you an uppie for most of those but must take boring issue with your definition of a straw man, which is a term used seriously and often with venom in philosophy and logic:
'The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects.
Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man A subtle but important difference here on the way an argument is shifted to inflict an apparent defeat on the opponent.
And Shaka Hislop - see also Hassan Kachloul. Neither of whom were the full Ian Crook...[edit} but were each more believable than a Batistuta or a Philipp Lamm. [Post edited 13 Mar 2021 9:56]

Fire engines - fixation that some local newspapers have with placement of a fire engine in a photo to gain clicks on a story. Doesn't work...until the link is posted on TWTD as a way of calling out lazy journalism...by encouraging posters to read lazy journalism.
