      Yeah, they couldn’t possibly be yelling at him because he sucks at driving.

      pass time

      I just realized I’ve always thought of it as past time, I guess I usually see it written as “pastime”. Past time doesn’t make any sense at all, the way I’ve always thought of it. Neat!

        With a single “s”? I’ve never seen that.

        Edit: until seeing this comment. Wtaf?

        https://alexandrite.app/Lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16674217

        Edit: Well, I stand corrected. Pastime is right. I cannot believe I never knew that.

      Hey, the second state pastime is giving the finger and yelling in traffic. We take these pastimes seriously, like sports and drinking.

        The only way he could have made it worse for himself is if he had an RI plate. Mass residents have never been shy about letting people know how they feel about them (for better, or very worse 😅)

          If there’s one thing Connecticut and Massachusetts agree on, it’s Rhode Island (but don’t worry, we can all shit on New Yorkers together)

        *pass times. As in, a way to pass the time, like with a hobby such as fishing or drinking.

        Edit: I stand corrected and humbled.

          Wait, drinking is a hobby now?

          Some people would say I have a problem. But according to this I’m a hobbyist.

          No, if we’re going to be prescriptivists, we’re going to be correct.
          It’s pastime.

            Holy shit. I feel like I just stepped into an alternative reality. Seriously, I’m floored.

              I’m guessing etymologically that’s where it comes from though.
