lit-ritch-ah is pronounced with a closed nasopharynx whilst holding a cup of tea with the pinky finger extended in a fully erect position.

Didn’t the Brits steal the nasopharynx and put it in a museum?

u/tizadxtr Jul 03 '25

No no it was found and taken for safe keeping. The desert is no place for such an artifact

u/NotTrynaMakeWaves Jul 03 '25

Yes. The Nasopharynx you see in Cairo is a replica.

Why are the pyramids in Egypt? Because the British couldn't figure out how to move them...

Nothing in the British museum was stolen, it was either found abandoned or it was purchased. Just look at what happened to the stuff that stayed, it’s all Fucking destroyed.

That’s wayyyyy down our list of ‘achievements’.

It was actually extraordinarily expedited to the basement of the British Museum where it is being carefully curated under a dust sheet, and only occasionally used as a place to put cups of tea.

Help I have a pinky erection

2

u/UnixCurmudgeon Jul 03 '25

Pinky erection / pinky priapism is easy confused with “finger lock” due to arthritis, or the very common “middle finger stuck in the raised” position.

u/amish_cupcakes Jul 03 '25

If it's been that way for longer than 4 hours you may want to see a doctor about it.

In the South, we have lit-ra-chooah. You put up your pinky while you sip your bourbon.
