I’m disappointed that this wasn’t Golden Girls.

Ok redoing memes with golden girls is a thing now, but what is the frood thing?

Well guys, you must be so amazingly glad to see me you can’t even find words to tell me what a cool frood I am.

it's... from hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 351d

In the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (also referred to as H2G2), a hitchhiker will always travel with a towel. Hence why everyone is making frood references.

It's comes from Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series 😊

It comes a portmanteau of "food" and "rude", with the implication that all life and all existence is nothing more than a dog's fever dream

You're into wet grannies?

You can also use it to protect yourself from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

Should I tell them “don’t panic”?

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 351d (3 replies)

Oh. Ryker is panicking. He's never been on a second date before.

FenrirIII@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 351d

He never buys a round-trip ticket.

🤦‍♂️ Are you familiar with The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 351d

I am, but I also never pass up an opportunity to make fun of Ryker.

So is Deanna the Trillian equivalent?

Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 350d

Is the towel currently stoned AF?

What does she think he is, an empath?

"I'm leaking, Will."

"I'll grab a bucket."

"No, I'm leaking 'down there'..."

"Ohh... Gotcha! I'll get an oil pan."
