That Wouldn't Slither Down in Snaith

Saying from York, UK meaning that a certain form of behaviour is unacceptable - implication that it wouldn't be acceptable in the village of Snaith, near York. The behaviour is so unacceptable that, to personify it, never mind walking or running, it would be unable to even slither around Snaith before being challenged.

"That gentleman has just disobeyed traffic laws and displayed a rude gesture, informing me that I am a masturbator. That wouldn't slither down in Snaith!"

I wouldn't dare

What would I not dare to do? To whom SPECIFICALLY are you talking? It isn't ME! Because there is NOTHING I wouldn't do to punish you for taking what's mine. WHAT WOULD I DARE NOT DO TO A FUCKING CHARITY CASE? 80,000 a month for inferiority to me.

Hym "I wouldn't dare? What would I not dare? Create a situation where so-and-sos would be radically disincentivized from DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO? Like I did? Would YOU dare to do that? Is that something YOU would dare to do? That thing I said? Because that sounded like a threat. I'm not negotiating with you (or anyone for that matter). I'm not even COMMANDING ANYONE. I'm telling you the future. I'm like a seer. I'm holding a million threads and no matter which one I cut, the outcome is the same."

It wouldn't invalidate my position

If I did.

Hym "It wouldn't invalidate my position if I did. So not super relevant. Like, I wrote a whole thing about the incoherence of externally imposed karmic empathy and the faulty logic behind 'using someone's own logic against them' and you took the wrong lesson from it and unironically did the criticism of the thing I was writing about... So, you know... Dumb. Dumb and bad."
