I typed in "I hate it when" and the #1 answer was "a chinchilla eats the universe." I don't think many people would guess that. #4 was "I hate it when Voldemort uses my shampoo," and #5 was "I hate it when Voldemort steals my Nutella." I guess that's how he earned his reputation and as that which cannot be named...

Having actually worked beside, lived with, and known at length many British people with British accents, they don't sound smart at all to me... I think this is just the product of British accents being the go-to accent for smart people in American movies, TV shows, etc... and often the voice on educational documentary programs.

It's curious, isn't it? I think people perceive our accents differently. I saw one study where they gave Britons and Americans ten accents and asked them to put them in order of preference. Both put RP English at the top, but while the Brits preferred Scottish and Welsh lilts, the Americans really liked Cockney and Scouse. And hasn't Glaswegian recently been voted the sexiest accent by Americans? Whereas a lot of Brits will associate a Glaswegian accent with being uneducated, lower-class or just incomprehensible.

Apr 12, 2014
An unladen swallow is a swallow that isn't carrying anything. They can fly faster that way then while attempting to carry things.

The question is a reference to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", a very funny movie which you should rent immediately if you haven't seen it.

+2

Apr 12, 2014
Thank you for the explanation. I did get the Monty Python reference but there is a Wikipedia article which states: "Unladen Swallow was a project sponsored by Google that was an optimization branch of CPython. It aimed to achieve its goals by supplementing CPython's custom virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler built using LLVM." I was hoping someone could translate THAT for me!

Python is a programming language. In the article that you talk about, they say: "Like many things regarding the Python language, "Unladen Swallow" is a Monty Python reference, specifically to the gag about the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows in Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

17, many of these are logical and obvious to some degree but then some are pretty random. I feel like part of it kind of depends on you as a person, for example 1/3 got the one about gasoline, and you're more likely to get it if you like the smell of gasoline. I got that one easily, but then ironically I didn't think of house cuz for me it's just not the first thing that came to mind, I was thinking of car or something like that

I quite like like the smell of gas too, but until today I didn't realize it was a common thing. I always just thought I was weird that way, and figured everyone else hated it.

So I actually didn't get that question because it never occurred to me to type that in. In fact, I even tried "smell bad"!!! (And when that didn't work, went off searching in totally different directions.)
