A FAR CRY

Origin:  Early 19th Century, British and English - The origin of this expression is most likely the notion that a cry, or shout is something that is used to deliver information over distances. For example, before newspapers were widespread, a “town crier” would travel far and wide literally shouting important news to residents. If something is within “shouting distance” that means it’s relatively close. An association was formed between crying and distance. Eventually the idea of distance became mostly metaphoric. “A stretch” is a similar metaphor.

Usage:  Informal, spoken, general American and British English

Idiomatic Meaning: Far away, a long distance, physically and metaphorically, very different from what’s stated or expected

Literal Meaning: A human, or possibly an animal noise made at a high volume and far away from where it is being heard. The sound could be weeping, shouting, yelling or crying out.

Why is this funny?  In the cartoon we see a woman standing at the edge of a cliff, crying out. We’re not exactly sure why. She is probably upset about something.  She could be in physical or emotional pain. Much closer to us we see to men talking about her. One of them appears to be a reporter asking questions of the other, older man, about her. The older guy tells the reporter he used to refer to the woman as his “baby”. The reporter comments that in his opinion, she is too old to be called a “baby”. In other words, she is “a far cry” from being a baby. The older man also tells the reporter that they used to be closer that they are now. He could be referring to the physical or the emotional distance between them. Either way, she’s crying out from a good distance away, from afar.

Sample sentence:That little house is “a far cry” from being a mansion

sorry I’m on mobile and these are very jumbled and out of order but I think you get the picture. go on his Twitter and read for yourself if you feel like it. then the girl he was arguing w said “@KillersForever: @LeviRainsss it sounds a lot less judgemental than being so black and white in your thinking” and he said “@LeviRainsss: @KillersForever I’m not really sure where I even mentioned race, but if you wanna talk blacks vs whites, okay 😂 Ignorance at it’s finest” she was like “no its an expression you know what I mean!!” and he was like “maybe you should be more careful with your wording when speaking about such a touchy subject” LMFAOOOOOOOOO I WANT TO PUNCH HIM IN THE MOUTH I CANT BREATHE

So, It's not like I really have anyone specifically to Tumble to, is that what we call it on here? tumbling? lol, so anyways, probably noone will read this, but I figured i should actually use this thing. Deep down inside I want to blog but it just takes too much time lol, and reblogging just isn't fun. What's the point of having a blog and you never blog? lol, and i'm not cool enough to stick with just posting pictures, lol. Omg why can't tumblr have autocorrect? lol, So anyways as you all don't know, I'm leaving for San Diego, California on July 29, and basically I'm not even ready. It's crazy to think that soon I'll be leaving my family behind because I'm the oldest and so I'm basically the first, it'd be different if I was following behind in someone's footsteps but nope, I'm setting the trend so i have a lot to think about. Hmm, i didn't really have anything in mind when I started typing this post so don't expect much, I'm just getting the feel of blogging. But yeah so i'm totally anxious about going to Cali, especially since California girls have this kinda image, and I definitely don't feel like I'm up to par with that, I'm not even good for Florida standards. So like idk that's probably one of my main concerns when it should be school. lol. So anyways i'll have more on this later, lol i have completely sidetracked and this is getting long so yeah.

  What’s so funny about this? This joke originally appeared as a photo meme, one of those pictures on the internet with a funny caption. The pictures I use with these audioboos can all be called memes; although, the original definition had more to do with shared cultural information in general. Anyway, if you’re looking at the photo you see a bunch of paper money sticking out of a paper envelope. These are also known as “bills.” Usually the word is preceded by the denomination or amount of the bill, for example a one dollar bill, a hundred dollar bill or a thousand dollar bill. Now, the word “bill” has several other meanings. Of course it’s a nickname for a person named William. But that’s not the one we’re dealing with here. The other “bill” is a draft of a proposed law that a legislative organization, such as Congress or Parliament has to vote on to approve it or reject it. If everything is “on the up and up,” that is, functioning according to the proper and legal way of doing things, then the members of congress or parliament will vote according to their beliefs or for the benefit of their constituents, the people they represent. However, occasionally these votes can be purchased or bought with the kinds of bills we talked about earlier.  The more bills and the higher the denominations, the easier it is to buy these so-called lawmakers. And THAT’s what’s so funny!
