Other People's Houses He surprised me with the idiomatic, slapdash English I seemed to have taught him in the six months in which the ambassador had not learned one new rule or unlearned one old mistake. It seemed to me that those who learned English caught it out of the air and those who did not catch it were never going to learn it. The road from ignorance to knowledge was a mystery to me.

Hey, it's that meme with the scruffy white dude in a blue plaid shirt walking hand in hand with his brunette girlfriend but ostentatiously turning around to ogle a blonde woman in a red dress who is walking towards the camera. The girlfriend is giving him a disgusted look that he has. no idea about. She is labeled with 5-star Letterboxd rating. The blonde is labeled with a 3.5-star + a heart Letterboxd rating. So the guy is ignoring his 5-star heart-free girlfriend to take in the ass of a 3.5-star hearted woman on the street. (She hasn't noticed him at all, nor should she.)

• Al Overview That quote, "He was made for it. Like the ox was made to eat and the grape was made to drink," comes from the classic film _The Miracle on 34th Street (1949), spoken by the character Emmy Cole (played by Diana Lynn) as she describes the natural fit of a person for their role, emphasizing inherent destiny or suitability with a charming, down-to-earth analogy. • Context: Emmy says this to Fred Gaily (John Payne) about the main character, Kris Kringle, suggesting Kringle is perfectly suited to be Santa Claus, just as animals have natural purposes. • Meaning: It's a simple yet profound way to say someone is exactly where they belong and excels at their task because it's their true nature.
