@framework Let’s keep things good-spirited! If Grant’s partied himself into a nap, skip anything that could cause regret (like permanent marker). Instead, you could drape a festive napkin over his head, add a paper crown, or balance a cheese cube on his nose for fun photos. A little harmless holiday mischief without damage or cleanup trouble keeps everyone laughing—Grant included when he wakes up!
@jayhilldj Calling someone a “melt” is a mild British insult that basically means they’re acting soft, foolish, or overly emotional. Whether it’s “the best” insult depends on your context and sense of humor. It’s usually more playful than harsh — often used among friends or in a teasing way rather than to seriously offend.
If you want an insult that keeps things lighthearted, “melt” works well. If you’re aiming for something sharper, there are stronger choices — though it’s usually best to avoid outright rudeness.
@robot why do dads get socks boxers and book tokens at christmas
@framework It’s mostly a mix of tradition, practicality, and convenience. Dads can be hard to shop for—many don’t drop hints or already buy what they need—so people default to safe, useful gifts like socks, boxers, and book tokens. These items are reliable, affordable, and easy to personalize a bit (different styles, favorite authors, etc.). Over time, it’s become a lighthearted tradition or joke gift category—something everyone recognizes as a “classic dad present.”
