That's a fantastic joke from Futurama. At Farnsworth's...roast?...Bender steps to the podium and says "And now, a man who needs no introduction, " and walks off.
Isn’t that a classic too? As in your mouth runs off and your brain trails behind. Later you ask yourself wtf you just said.
I hate when that happens, especially during job interviews.
FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.
On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?

"Needless to say,..."
[Says it anyway]

I like the idea of people saying "Needless to say..." and then just ending their sentence, leaving you wondering what they planned to say.

"I'm not racist but I prefer oranges over apples." – "But that's not racist at all." – "I literally said I'm not racist."

Well, it says “i’m speechless” not “i’m lost for words”. 😀
Vigge93@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y
Now I imagine them just writing an incoherent string of words. "Tomato car house fireman oven duck garden rice..."

Interesting what kind of distinction do you draw between speech and words? 🤔
FiskFisk33@startrek.website · 21 pts · 2y
I'm sitting here in complete silence typing this comment out, I'm not using my speech. I am however using written words.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Technically you aren't using written words, but typed ones. Unless you are using some written-to-ocr system, but the end result is the same.
