If that were on the table, the stool would’ve already been cleaned out.
a very stool-some post!
This would be funny if the guy was THE ROCK and the girl was also THE ROCK.
Lemme just make the calculations to see whether you’re right about that…
You’re next.
I’m starting to think that this conversation was fictitious.
You really think people would do that? Just go on the Internet and lie?
That’s exactly what I said last night when I was in a hot tub with David Bowie and Harry Potter.
Anyways, it’s time for me to go and see my girlfriend. You won’t know her as she goes to another school, an errrm an astronaut school.
Is your gf Katy Perry?
Oh look at Mr. Big shot over here. The rest of us can only get hootie and the blowfish in a kiddy pool. Oh well good for you.
No worries, I should get going too, my girlfriend is waiting for me in Canada.

That’s a chair!
It works at least in German: Stuhl is both the furniture and the term doctors use to describe poop.
In American English, a stool can also mean furniture and poop. (I am guessing this comes directly from German.)
The comment, you replied to, makes sense because in American English a stool and a chair are different types of sitting furniture. The difference being a stool has no or limited back support and can be counter height.
Great to see a fellow frog in the wild!
I am guessing this comes directly from German
The German and English wikipedia have interesting information about the etymology of the English chair and the German Stuhl:
Chair:
Chair comes from the early 13th-century English word chaere, from Old French chaiere (“chair, seat, throne”), from Latin cathedra (“seat”).
Stuhl:
[…] althochdeutsch stuol ‚Sitz, Thron‘ […]
(Old high German stuol meaning ‘seat’ or ‘throne’
Das Wort Stuhl […] ist mit l-Suffix zur indoeuropäischen Wurzel *stā-, *stǝ- ‚stehen, stellen‘ gebildet.
(The word Stuhl is built from the proto-indo-european language by adding the suffix ‘l’ to the root ‘*stā’ or ‘*stǝ’ which means ‘to stand’)
So both means seat/seating or throne but chair is more a throne-like furniture (by having arm rests and/or back rest) whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use “Schemel” or “Hocker” to describe such a stool. “Schemel” seems to come from “scamilla”, Latin for small bench.
I have no idea how all this information helps us, but it’s interesting :D
Yes always good to see a fellow frog!
So this meme would only make sense in Old High German.
That is interesting.
Thanks for the info.
So this meme would only make sense in Old High German.
Maybe I put it wrong, but it works even better in modern Germany: “Stuhl” means chair in modern German. The joke/pun is well-known in German: “Darf ich Ihnen den Stuhl zurückschieben?” So unlike in the English version, “Stuhl” literally both means “chair” and “poop”.
It’s probably me misunderstanding. Thank you for the correction.

So what you’re saying is that the meme doesn’t work in German either, because the furniture in the meme would be referred to as a “Schemel” rather than a “Stuhl”
This meme is an abortion of human language smh
No no, it works even better: “Stuhl” means chair in modern German. The joke/pun is well-known in German: “Darf ich Ihnen den Stuhl zurückschieben?” So unlike in the English version, “Stuhl” literally both means “chair” and “poop”.
On the bristol stool chart that’s what we call a 2. It’s like a perfect stool in the sense that you could sit on ut, but it’s not really a stool.
Maybe he’s Dutch. In Dutch “chair” is “stoel”, you pronounce it as “stool”
If it goes well, there’ll be more stool to push in ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That’s the joke.
Wait… That’s the second version of this meme I’ve seen in a week. Is this… A TREND
You might be in a meme loop. You could have been seeing this meme dozens, even thousands of times.
Same here. Is there a stool pushing convention I missed?
Shockingly forward single-entendre, considering that is a chair.
“I’ll have the saline please.”
