Ever since learning American, these have fascinated me. Humor is a great indicator of a people's IQ. Let me know your best ones.

I'll start: 'Your guess is as good as mine.'

I can get racist/anti-semitic news anywhere nowadays.

Maybe, but Poal is family :)

I think /s/LanguageGems would be an awful name, although I have no better suggestions at the moment.

Too gay? Might have overthunk it. just 'Idioms' or something along the lines of 'IdiomsAndProverbs'? There's no subs containing those at the moment. I'm open to suggestions. Since the sub title will be in English, I only want it intuitively searchable in the "Submit a new post" search box. The longer one would lend itself to that, since the sub search is looking for a substring match. OTOH, I don't want a 300-letter sub name, although that might be an interesting experiment... :)

Tempting. If you go "off the wall", go the whole nine yards.

Fuck yeah. And, put your name on it.

A lot of generic subs with good foundational concepts end up dead and abandoned, because the people who start them forget about them. But if you put your name on that shit, your reputation is linked to it, you will intrinsically want to tend to it a little more.

I know I would not post as much Poetry as I do if there was only /s/Poetry, but because I made /s/TheosOpiumDen, I try to post something at least once every week or so.
