In the uk "bean" is slang for 'head"

Meaning you are calling me stupid....

Which i suppose isn't really an insult, as its true.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or they’re saying you suck at sucking.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

And if they are saying that, it makes me even more stupid for not thinking of that joke. :)

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Where I'm from bean can be a euphemism for a certain part of female genitalia, so I am insulted.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah! That too! Flick the bean!

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 1 points 11 months ago

Also UK here. Since it's mostly used as the verb to mean "hit in the head", it didn't even occur to me to parse the question this way.

Perhaps that was a symptom of my own weak bean.

torn to shreds and mashed to paste, I'm afraid.

To shreds you say

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 11 months ago

I just ate peas. Take that!

[–] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 8 points 11 months ago

It's bean weaker.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

You know how they say "cool beans?" Mine is lukewarm.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago

Does lentils count? Their like a weaker version of beans. I made a lentil and ham soup with the leftover Christmas ham I had. Pretty yummy.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a little on the sore side.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Exactly what I'd expect from someone on the "yiffit" community >.>

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I have baked beans and dried chickpeas in the house at the moment, and the baked beans are probably the weaker of my two beans, so the current status of my weak bean is "canned."

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

When I don't want an overly strong coffee, I'll grind less beans or add more water.

Less jangly, and sameish taste.

The early morning 'weak bean'.

[–] walter_wiggles@lemmy.nz 5 points 11 months ago

Mmm beaked beans

[–] seven_phone@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

This week's weak bean's been Heinz.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

It's likely to soon fall off

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

My name's not bean :(

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 11 months ago

It's been oblong.
