If one studies any foreign language, one of the first things one should learn is how to say “My Hovercraft is full of eels”. And in fact I have done this. Why? Because when someone is studying an unusual choice of language (in my case it’s Modern Greek) one is inevitably asked to “Say something in (Greek in my case)”. So the sentence, which is objectively absurd, actually becomes useful. I’m considering Irish as my next language. Why Irish? Maybe speaking some Irish would help me get an Irish passport so I can escape from Fascist America.
Argument clinic is what I was going to choose haha

my go-to phrase for this is always “lots of snow but no flashlight” due to a scene in an old Swedish movie
