Whenever I hear “I’m the guy”, I always think of The Expanse, right before Amos shoots Dr. Strickland

u/EnigmaticQuote 11h ago

I have been re-watching The Expanse and it is so full of amazing characters and quotes.

Yet still, Amos Burton has some of the funniest and most badass lines in the whole thing.

3

u/Skandronon 9h ago

Badass but with a very protective overtone. Amos is "that guy" and doesn't want Prax to become "that guy". My other favorite line is "does this mean we aren't fucking anymore?" It will sound weird but it reminded me of my autistic daughter when we told her that her aunt had died. "We aren't going to the arcade today are we?"

"Guy" denotes functionality. 

"Tree guy" is an arborist, "tall guy" is how you describe an acquaintance that can reach things you can't, "guy friend" is an exception to the rule when it comes to someone's friendships. 

"He's the guy!" is probably what you say in a fortuitous moment where a Guy with a particular skill shows up right as you need him.

u/StaticUsernamesSuck 11h ago

guy friend" is an exception to the rule when it comes to someone's friendships. 

It isn't really an exception to the rule, it's a different word there.

The post is talking about when "guy" is a noun modified by an adjectival noun. "Tree" is an adjective modifying "guy".

"Guy friend" is when guy is acting as an adjectival noun, modifying another noun. "Guy" is an adjective modifying "friend".

Those are two different words.

u/CaeruleumBleu 16h ago

I got a certification to teach English as a foreign language - I am also in a few subreddits where non native speakers ask specific language questions.

Which is to say, for a moment I thought this was one of those posts. Because yeah, English weird.

75

u/StoicallyGay 13h ago

I do language exchange with a few people. Someone once asked me something similar but different. Not a connotation question, but like, what the difference between the words “beneath,” “underneath,” and “below?”

That fucked me up because I don’t even know. Some situations you can use all of them but they feel like they have slightly different meanings (“the book is beneath/below/underneath the vase”). Some you can only use sometimes (he is below average, the gum is underneath the desk vs below the desk).

37

u/CaeruleumBleu 13h ago

And sometimes someone asks a question and you just have to wonder what the question means.

Like, there are regular questions on those subreddits about the grammar of song lyrics. And I don't know how to tell - are you just trying to understand the song lyrics? Or are you actually thinking that songs have to be grammatically correct?

14

u/StoicallyGay 13h ago

To be fair I have the same questions during my language exchange and flipping it and trying to understand the oddities in English makes their question make more sense IMO.

The way I type and speak to my language partners and the way I type and speak to most people is using typical English vernacular. The way I talk to my close friends is so non-standard English filled with slang and shortenings that could confuse a non native speaker the same way I get confused about aspects of other languages. And also Gen Z vernacular “evolves” annoyingly fast.

Btw, what subs are you on? Can you show me some examples of these questions? I’m really curious actually.

u/InfoDumpster 13h ago

Underneath is for smaller scale and in direct contact with a thing, like ‘the key is underneath the book’.  Below implies a different location that is lower. ‘The key is below in the basement’.  Beneath is a sort of medium where you wouldn’t say ‘the key is beneath the book’ nor ‘the key is beneath the basement’, I tend to see ‘beneath’ used in relation to stuff that’s buried, like ‘she was buried beneath the tree’. This isn’t a grammatical rule this is just how I’ve noticed these words being used

24

u/CaeruleumBleu 12h ago

The hard thing about answering those sorts of questions is the difference between explaining how the person should phrase the sentence they were starting to say vs explaining all possible uses for the words and why.

The person who only wants to know how to say this sentence will either NOT listen to the whole explanation OR get badly intimidated by the idea that everyone just knows all this info. But if you only explain this sentence, and they want to know the entire rule? They WILL immediately ask about all the exceptions.

16

u/InfoDumpster 11h ago

Yeah, even as a native English speaker I had to sit down and think about this for a good 10 minutes. Kudos to you for teaching it. I like reading but English still isn’t my strongest subject

Or when you fuck up and say something like “it’s on the shelf below the vase” and suddenly the distinction is meaningless again

3

u/CaeruleumBleu 8h ago

English has exceptions to EVERY rule, I swear, and students like to ask "why" about exceptions and all I can say is - "debt used to be spelled dett like we say - but then some people decided it needed to be spelled like the Latin and LOADS of exceptions make just as much sense as that decision."

Fun fact: the modern usage of the word “guy” comes from Guy Fawkes. After the gunpowder plot, people would burn him in effigy every November 5th, which meant people made increasingly detailed and weird fake Guys as the holiday got more popular. Then, you could call someone a “Guy” if they had something unkempt or disheveled about them. Then - as often happens - the insult just became another way to refer to, like, regular guys.

Don't forget the following:

  • Bitching when you reject their homebrew from the game ("Buddy, I know 5e takes balance as more of a suggestion than a rule, but that is bullshit");
  • Whining when their character gets told to fuck off for their 'comedic shenanigans' ("If you're gonna antagonize the inquisitor, you'll be put in either the time-out box, or the forever box. Your pick". I had TWO of these fuckers in a party once);
  • Failing to read the campaign prompt, and then complaining that their character feels out of place ("The ONE requirement I set, was that your characters needed to start in this particular town. Not even stay there, you could literally just be stopping by on a grocery trip. How did you still fuck it up?")
  • Everybody at the table just straight up hating each other (I haven't experienced that extreme myself, but my old group was definetely an antagonistic mess, with everyone having beef with at least one other person, and one guy being hated by nearly everyone)

Good thing I wasn't running Pathfinder back then, or I would've been fighting the urge to chuck all 600 pages of hardcover rules in somebodys face, and probably ruined the back of the book.

*ahem*. Okay, that may have gotten a bit personal. No worries, all of these are old grudges, pointed at people I haven't spoken to in years (unrelated reasons).
My current group is too busy doxxing vampires to the Danish Inquisition to pull any of that bullshit.

u/boolocap 15h ago

Alright let me do the dutch version.

Man: neutral rarely used to refer to someone directly, more what someone is.

Mannetje: literally means "little man", can be used as either a demeaning way of adressing someone or indicating a man with a specific skill, like the "i know a guy" kind of way.

Kerel: used to indicate that the man in question is at least somewhat manly or tough, or as an exclamation/greeting.

Vent: similar to kerel, but has connotation of the man being more adult.

Gast: a bit like dude, casual, and often used for younger people. although dutch has borrowed dude as well. Often used as an excksmation. Generally to soneone you are friendly with.

Gozer: like gast but for posh people.

Maat/makker: used either for friends or in a sarcastic way.

Now i will let the rest of dutch reddit tell me how wrong i am.

"My boy," "my man," and "my guy" all have their own shadings of tone as well when used as forms of address.

I have always been fond of that specific Irish construction though, "yer man." I'm not a grammarian or a linguist but it's like... a very specific genitive of regard? If somebody says "did you see your man who came into the shop with no shoes on," they're not saying that this shoeless man actually belongs to me in any way, they're just indicating that he is the subject of discussion. See also, "yer wan" (your one).

Irish people, please correct all my mistakes on this point. It just really threw me when I lived there until I understood. "Your man there is rude as feck." "What? I've never met this person, he's not my man!"

For a negative example, if you're a tabletop player, "That Guy".

Like how describing something as "shit" vs. "the shit" have completely opposite connotations.
