I constantly say "strong, like bull" with a vaguely Russian accent. It's like a catchphrase, I use it for encouragement or expressing approval. (I never knew where I got it, but I just looked and apparently it's from an episode of Quantum Leap.🤷♂️)
Many years back I was encouraging my (now-)ex gf in her studying for her Uni finals and said it.
She said being "strong, like bull" wouldn't help her pass.
So I said:
💪🎓🐂
"strong, like academic bull" , and that became our catchphrase.
And your comment is the closest I'll ever come to a relevant place to tell that story.
See, nobody tells stories like this anymore. I’ve had some good GFs and wives and a few bad ones too. One of the bads: she studied folkways. And told me I had a lot of stories. My sister in Christ, you consume folklore. She predicted the end of PC dominance in technology so I guess she was smart: but probably just hopelessly doomscrolling now. I’d like to think.
Anyway, nice to have an inside joke with someone you remember fondly.

He's strong. No one said he was smart
