Todd<p>The author of a series I'm reading makes use of the phrase "she looked at him over the tops of her eyes".</p><p>I've figured out from context that it seems to mean looking askance at someone. But I can't get over the anatomical impossibility of this phrase.</p><p>And it's not a typo, because it appears several times throughout the series. So he meant to write it that way.</p><p>Have you ever read/heard that phrase before?</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/idioms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>idioms</span></a></p>

Flipboard<p>Speaking of confidence … is that the only thing AI has going for it? It’s not funny – that’s for sure. For <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/aftermath.site" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>aftermath.site</span></a></span>, Riley Macleod writes about how you can ask Google’s AI search to define any made-up idiom, and it will go ahead and make something up. Some that people have tried include, “you can’t lick a badger twice,” “don’t touch my mother’s goats” and “two cars short of a Winnebago.” It’s very silly, but, says Macleod, that doesn’t mean we should laugh at it.</p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Humor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Humor</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Jokes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jokes</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wordplay</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Idioms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Idioms</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Artificial intelligence isn't funny or playful, but it is confident, whether it's right or wrong. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/aftermath.site" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>aftermath.site</span></a></span>'s Riley Macleod looks at the latest example of this — if you ask it the meaning of a made-up idiom, it will tell you what it means — and why it's a problem. "In one apt example, noted language genius and Defector writer Albert Burneko asked Google to define 'ask a six-headed mouse, get a three-legged stool,' which Google says 'suggests asking the wrong question or seeking the wrong advice from someone unqualified can lead to a nonsensical or unhelpful response.'"</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/UAEe33" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/UAEe33</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Humor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Humor</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Humour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Humour</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Idioms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Idioms</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a></p>
