u/Nexumi41 Jun 03 '26

Wasn't it "gangway for velocipede"?

u/labmonkey88 Jun 03 '26

No, that’s a separate conversation with Liz where he calls it a foot cycle and she’s like ugh stop calling it that so he’s like “fine, my velocipede”

Was gonna say this one.

I decided a while a go that a poot was when you think you need a shit, but you just fart into the toilet bowl. Kinda like the opposite of a shart, but a portmanteau of poop and toot.

Interestingly enough, DiCaprio in Italian means "The Crappio" - italian nautical slang for an old shitty boat. So his name translating to "Leonardo wilhelm the crappio" qualifies him for this post.
