People seem confused by it but isn't it just a play on words with/combination of 'I think therefore I am' and sexual slang that often takes the form she blank til I blank?

Yeah, that's it.

she blank til I blank

More precisely it is:

she ___ on my ___ till I ___

Honestly, if it said “til” and not “till,” I’d want one.

Odo@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 60d (12 replies)

Till is the correct spelling. It's a separate word from until (and is actually older). 'Til is way newer and considered informal.

That’s fair, but I don’t like it as much 🤷

Though as a quibble, til and ’til are both correct spellings for an abbreviation of until, and till is a separate preposition. All are correct.

huh. i always learned till as a verb, like till the ground. is this a regional/dialect thing? because i want to stop editing my autocarrots from till to til.

idiomaddict@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 60d (6 replies)

No, till is also a verb and a noun for a cash register (that’s why I prefer til: less ambiguity), but as a preposition it’s somewhat archaic outside of a few dialects, afaik

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 60d (5 replies)

also maybe something on a boat i think? i've heard "man the till" or "man the tiller" i can't remember, somewhere. maybe my imagination.

Oh, yes, good call! I think that’s essentially the same concept as with farming, where you split a channel in the stream of water or in a mound of earth.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 60d

i never thought of it conceptually like that, but that makes a lot of sense for a cash register. you split the customer's cashflow stream into the store's. or vice versa

anyone else feel like they need to stare at their fingers a while too after learning what @idiomaddict@lemmy.world has been teaching us?

Huh, TIL.

Venator@lemmy.nz · 4 pts · 60d (1 reply)

The correct spelling if you're plowing...

Yeah that works in this context I guess 😅

Odo@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 60d

No seriously, there's a definition of till that means the same as "until" but is like a century older. One of the many weird quirks of English.

I can’t tell if there is a sexual innuendo here that is intended.
