I’m not kidding when I say it’s better than the original. And not just because you get to hear David Tennant curse in PG all day.

Am I a gravy trainer? How would I know if I was?

monsterpiece42 ,

You 100% are. Any non-gravy trainer would has strong conviction that they’re not.

The doubt means you must be. Time to go get out quaffed.

I’m sorry you had to learn this way.

Out-quaffed himself of the knowledge whether he’s Jack or John

Shave_MyBeever ,

Jack is John technically. That is how the name Jack works usually.

Do people not know that JFK was called Jack?

Shave_MyBeever ,

Not necessarily, it seems.

For those that are confused by the name change, Jack is an old nickname for John. It was most popular in the 17th century and has been on the decline since, so I don’t think many people today use it that way anymore. Or any people younger than 70, anyway.

Of a similar origin, there’s Jim for James, Dick for Richard (giggity), Harry for Henry, and Sally for Sarah, among others. I think some of these are more popular than others, but it seems to me that they are mostly out of use in general, though some of the nicknames live on as normal names.

SeabassDan ,

Harry and Sally I never understood since they aren’t really nicknames and aren’t even shorter versions, they just sound like different names altogether.

I believe ‘Harry’ is the Welsh version of English ‘Henry’, & German ‘Heinrich’. … At least that’s the impression I got from Shakespeare’s ‘Henriad’ plays (H. IV 1-2, & H. V)

aulin ,

I knew about it because of Jacksfilms. It makes no sense though. It’s got both the same number of syllables and letters. Jim and Dick make sense to me (and are also the only ones of these I feel like people know about in general.)

What I can’t quite make sense of, is how ‘James’ itself is a diminuitive of ‘Jacob’.
