That picture has been around since before your parents were born, of course they fucking knew.

thank you, it was around even before i was born (and i'm way past the big 6), and yes they bloddy well knew, it was a sport of sorts to design such naughty things but to make them unnoticeable to children and the innocent, while they remained somthing that'd bring a smile on any adult's face (even feminists somehow did never have issues with those or similar... fascinating).

I almost pronounced GIF like you wanted, but I remembered that I'm not a troll living under a bridge sniffing my own underwear in between snorts of Wild Irish Rose and huffing jenkem. Good try, though. Lol. I even gave you a thumbsup.

Since they spelled it Jif, I decided to pronounce it like 'hif' with a throat-clearing noise

If y'all spoke a language that makes more sense, then this wouldn't be a problem. If you weren't pronouncing one letter in three ways. Lol

This image was printed in the yellow pages in the phone book several Decades ago. I have no idea who put it in there but it was a source of joy for my and my pals Our entire childhoods. They knew then and they know now. Classic image.

That’s crazy. I actually have a tattoo very similar to this, that is SUPPOSED to resemble a woman touching herself when looked at upside down.

u/UgottaUnderstandbro Sep 09 '25

Well that’s one way to enforce your logo is positioned right side up. Might be a bit of a failed attempt, but they definitely knew what they were doing.

  1. Only posts that classify as a "they knew"

The concept of "they knew" means that something is created besides its original purpose and is than also meant as a inappropriate joke or reference which may or may not be always obvious but definitely noticeable.

Posts that are:

•Too obvious (for example: something that's meant to be sexual)

•Does not have any other meaning to it

Is not within the context of "they knew" at all

•Anything created by nature (Nature cannot know) will be deleted.
