WyattSheepMask Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) TIL what the hell Vince McMahon is banging on about whenever he mentions “the brass ring”. In the old days of US carnivals, a ride operator (usually the Merry-Go Round) would toss a series of metal rings to those on the ride, one of which was brass. Assuming that you didn’t get a metal disc planted firmly in your head because some carny threw it at you and you caught the brass ring, you got a free ride next time the carnival was in town.

TheSurgeon Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I always thought that 'demonstratable', was a word. As in something that can be demonstrated. Apparently it's 'demonstrable', which doesn't look or sound right. Quote
Guest Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Demonstratable is a perfectly fine word. It's when you mimic horns with your fingers by the sides of your head and scrape the ground with your foot, for anyone who's never seen a male cow. Quote
