Prefixes

Phil_aka_Pip

a Lo broken into 10^12 pieces would give you a lot of piccolos, whereas 10^9 of them would give you a gigolo

breaking a phone into 10^6 pieces would give you quite a lot of microphones, whereas 10^6 of them would give you a megaphone

Presumably there are 998 more Millibands around, making up a complete Band (I only know about 2 of them)

10^3 whales is a killer whale

and finally 10^12 buls is a terabul

Put that "special" cigarette out and have a lie down Phil.

Phil_aka_Pip

I don't smoke

Lixarto

You clearly should.

chillidoggy

I don't know what you're on Phil, but it sounds like some good gear to me.

jellyroll

Two icks make a dick.

imalone

Peta Townshend, 10^12 lead guitarists.
Attaboy, one billion billionth of a boy.
Example, very ample.

I'm not sure if it needs a lol for being funny, a wow for putting in the effort of coming up with them, or a wisdom for knowing the correct prefixes for the different amounts!

CabbageCat

I think it would be a picalo and a gigalo. So it stops being funny. In the same way that installing a speed limiter stops a fridge from driving too fast.

VimFuego

surely a speed limiter would stop the fridge from being driven too fast? I can't see how fitting a limiter to a fridge would stop it from driving too fast.

Of couse it falls down when a Tehran Fox is worth more than a Megan Fox

Nah @CabbageCat, it'd still be picolo. It would though, as you say, be gigalo.

Yes it would stop it from driving too fast but it's not all that necessary because it wasn't going very fast in the first place because it's a fridge.

Goddammit. You made me explain a joke. There goes the funnyship.

And Mark, you get a share of the fury.

frankus

do you know how sperated Cabbage cat is right now? He's exasperated.

holnrew

Does that mean he used to be asperated?

Only if you're splitting hairs about the spelling. Puns are best heard

Lixarto

A herd of puns?
