idiot bar

a device found on most newer lawn mowers that will shut the mower off if you let go of the handle so as to prevent some idiot from sticking their hand under a lawn mower while it is running, a similiar device found on a snow blower or other gas powered equipment

The thing I hate about mowing the lawn is when you take your hand off the idiot bar for just a second to move something out of the way and you have to restart the mower.

Noble idiot

A person who 'sacrifices' their own happiness with the assumption that they are bringing happiness to the person they are sacrificing for, when in fact, this sacrifice makes the other person even more unhappy.

Prime Minister: I'm in a contract marriage with you and now you're telling me that my real missing and presumed dead wife is really alive?
I: Yes. So I'm going to leave you even though we've decided we actually love each other and want to marry for real now.
Prime Minister: But I don't want my old wife back. She pretended to be dead so I hate her now. But I love you, you noble idiot.
I: Tough. I'm gonna travel the world and write a kids book. Get back with your old wife.
*Prime Minister proceeds to not get back with old wife because he hates her while I mopes because she's depressed she left the Prime Minister*

Six idiots

The group of six British actors who started out working in Horrible Histories and then created/wrote the film Bill and the series Yonderland and BBC Ghosts.

They are Ben Willbond, Mat Baynton, Larry Rickard, Simon Farnaby, Jim Howick and Martha Howe-Douglas.
Their company is called them there.

They are very funny and only stayed together because they "didn't want to stop acting like six year olds"- one of them. Their work is very inclusive, with a lot of their characters being gay and having transgender representation.

Their individual Twitters are very entertaining. For example, Ben posted a picture with Larry where they tried to sneak into a film festival and then they were caught, escorted away by security and both got covid.

Person 1: who are those very attractive actors?
Person 2: oh they're the six idiots and you are correct, they are attractive.
Person 1: why do I feel like I'm gonna end up watching all their stuff and becoming a huge fan?
Person 2: because you are. There is no escaping it.
