Tuck around and find out
Tuck around and find out! — a variation of “Fuck around and find out!”; and, “Mess around and find out”. In this variation an individual thinks that he is more important than the life of an entire organization. He or she finds out the hard way that although there is no “I” in team; there is certainly an “I” in the word “fired”!!!!!!!!!
The variation “Tuck around and find out!” Is of cours dedicated to Tucker Carlson who took the fall for Fox News in the Dominion Law suit. His termination was based on a stratagem employed by Napoleon Bonaparte:
“Kill a few, it will inspire the rest”.
It seems clear the Carlson may have been the first of many to “ Tuck around and find out!” but according to the traditional use of this stratagem HE WILL NOT BE THE LAST.
Carlson’s name provides a beautiful and ironic onomatopoeia reference to the original term because if “tuck around and find out” we’re a person; it would look like Tucker Carlson.
This reminds me of another of Napoleon’s maxims:
Fortune favors the prepared mind.
