Not sure what to think of this. To me, it's a well-used expression that does not imply that you actually smoke crack. What other expressions should we not speak in case they literally might offend someone?
- textminer 14y ago"Did you fall off a space elevator or something?!" Only because it might compel some contrarian to build a space elevator. And I really want a space elevator.
