"That guy is a fart in a skillet." He's what?

[greenbacknative]

Gotta say, I love good analogies and ole' time sayins, but this one is well over my head.

Thanks for your post. I was hoping I wasn't the only one.

Reminds of when I heard about the waffle stomp the first time.

im pretty sure waffle stomp is a misunderstanding of the term roflstomp and then it went downhill from there.......because kids these days and their poops

That is very deep, sir.

As Evan Berry was with kickoffs.See ya,bye!

Not even close. Williams is nowhere near as fast as Berry was.

Glad I'm not the only one. This one is like ....uh ...wut?

 

[UTblood4life]

I literally was coming in here just to look for the meaning behind the analogy. i appreciate all the explanations and look forward to the next opportunity to use it in person.

He used this anology when he was first hired

I don't know why, but I hate the word "fart", like I absolutely despise it.

Always just been a word that makes me cringe.

Great analogies but one i found out from my military days is that happiness is a dry fart! Now on to more Victorian subjects...

[overseasorange2]

I think he means potentially explosive. JMO....

It's running like your a$$ is on fire!

Well, at least he didn’t say a shart in a skillet

When we were out of position on defense during a play my old football coach used to tell us that we were like a fart in a whirlwind.

I get the "hold their breath" part...

My father-in-law used that phrase all the time.

It doesn't make sense to me.

59% Nitrogen - doesn't burn.
21% Hydrogen - that "pops" when exposed to heat. 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
9% Carbon Dioxide - that typically doesn't burn either as I recall.
7% Methane > CH4 + 3O2 = CO2 + 2H2O...I think you might get a "pop" there too.
4% Oxygen - would support the hydrogen or methane reaction
1% Hydrogen Sulfide 2H2S + 3O2 = 2H2O + 2SO2....a stink and I'm guessing a "pop" there too.

So if he's more than a fart in a skillet, I guess checker Neyland will be different colors this year.

Andy Dufresne disappeared like a fart in the wind in Shawshank Redemption !!!

Urban Dictionary: waffle stomp

On a side note, Urban Dictionary link is blocked at my work by the web filter for being "Tasteless". Security guys have no amoral compass, poor kids.

How in the name of Eru Ilúvatar can this happen often enough to have obtained a special name for such action. Don't people have the sense to use toilets?
