Is the title (here and on the article) supposed to say "outstanding" as in "amazing! wonderful!" or is it deliberately "out standing" as in ... standing...out...actually, I don't even know if this is a valid phrase.

- lacoolj 1y agoStill need the explanation of what pun I'm missing, but looking forward to seeing what you come up with :)
- nkurz 1y agoThere's a standard joke about a farmer who wins an award because he is "outstanding in his field". This is a variation on that: https://explainthejoke.com/2022/08/28/above-and-beyond/ https://explainthejoke.com/2022/08/28/above-and-beyond/
- NortySpock 1y agoThat's the joke, both are valid uses of the phrase and sound alike. "My scarecrow is the best in the business! He's out standing (outstanding) in his field!" (i.e. a field in a farm, or in his area of expertise)
