I dislike technical reviews that try to go cleverly literary. It's impossible to divine whtat "sardine oil basting AMD" is supposed to mean. It's not a meme, it's not a common expression. And for non-native English speakers, it is even more confusing. And it violates the first principle of reviews: putting the interests of the reader first.
- mcroft 6y agoI was equally confused. I thought it was some USA/Canadian phrase I'd never encountered before but it seems like it's another reference to Tiger King (in addition to the one in the title). Apparently, people suspect Carole Baskin for murder based on a comment she made about covering someone in "sardine oil or something they want to eat". [1] Even now I understand it, it still sticks out as an odd phrase to use. [1]: https://www.sausageroll.com.au/entertainment/shows/did-carole-baskin-confess-to-the-murder-of-her-husband-on-tiger-king/
