Thinghood

Noun. An Aristotelian-derived term which references that which makes a thing itself. Taken up in the Metaphysics where it is is also more confusedly known as "substance". Not contingent on material. The first, or most primary way of being.

I was happy to observe my thinghood remained intact despite the tumor.

A little iodine and that thing could walk again

If you've ever eaten a burger or a steak, and it's undercooked, you say "A little iodine and that thing could walk again!", implying that it's only a minor cut, and the animal could come back to life if iodine (a cut medicine) was applied.

Waiter: Here's your steak, sir.
Customer: *Cuts into the Steak, sees that it is raw.*
Waiter: Is everything OK?
Customer: Actually, no.
Waiter: What's wrong?
Customer: Weeeell, let's just say... A little iodine and that thing could walk again.
Waiter: Oh, no. Terribly sorry, sir.

But you know he isn't sorry. They never are.

Here's the thing

The statement said either during or immediately following someones attempt to make an extremely valid point that makes the person stop talking and listen to your potentially much less important and usually unrelated opinion. The best setup to a conversational punchline. Ever.

S- "I've never told anyone this before C, but I think I have an authority fettish because of my corrupted relationships to male figureheads in my childhood."
C- "Here's the thing -I'm hungry. Buy me a McDouble."


S- "...So then the condom broke and-"
C- " Here's the thing -I don't have the funds or the reputation to be a godfather to some bastards bastard child. Buy me a McDouble."
