Don't get it.
You don't?

Well, me neither...

He's a grass.

What is a grass in English slang?
The use of "grass" as British slang for a police informer dates back to the 1930s, and is apparently a short form of the slang term "grasshopper," meaning the same thing.


ok...   :huh:

It's also a verb, as in to grass someone up.

This isn't some secret code, dear.

Callum is traveling on the Thameslink which is a train service. Callum bought a 1st class ticket*. Callum has tweeted to the train company about how people who didn't purchase 1st class train tickets are sitting in 1st class seats.

*well I'm assuming that. I guess Callum could just be standing near the 1st class seats. -_-
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

That all seems completely obvious.

I still don't get why Callum tweeting this is remotely interesting to anyone...are we supposed to be mad at Callum?

tattling is OK if the reported behavior had negatively affected you, so maybe Callum of England was bothered by the working class around him.  :hmm:  we just don't know

I didn't think it would be incomprehensible.

And nah more like oh my what a douche.  :D

Ok, he is kind of a douche.

It just isn't very noteworthy douchiness.


It;s like someone telling a joke, and you get the joke, but you think maybe you don't because it isn't really funny at all, hence why did this person even bother telling it?

I feel bad for Callum.  He paid extra for that first class seat and freeloaders are getting the same privilege by paying less.

I am sorry, but you can either be mad at the expensive train ticket prices, or be ok with people cheating with their train tickets. The two together does not work.

Yes, but I thought there would be some secret meaning there.  A rich person complaining poor people are invading his private party is not unheard of, in face, it's quite frequent, just as tv/movie stars doing their divas about 1st class plane tickets that should be paid by the government or complaining their dog isn't allowed to sit in 1st class beside them.

I just thought there would be something more profound, more unique to that tweet.
