Stop fucking with the OP. It's 'The ghost is clear', and then afterwards you have to say 'pass it on'.

My wife pronounced wheelbarrow as "wheel barrel" until a few years ago.

She never realized that she was wrong, and nobody in her family ever told her. They just never felt the need to correct her and allowed her to say it wrong for 25 years

My wife would say 'fairy up liquid' instead of 'fairy washing up liquid', I never noticed (I knew what she was talking about) until it was pointed out to me.

I've started saying it now out of badness.

What the hell is fairy washing up liquid

The stuff of legends. And it's fairly washing up liquid. No doubt

 

[djcatskratch]

Whole thread made me think of this

This thread is my favorite

 

[Stormhammer]

op might be right

 

[Aizo]

The most shocking thing that I've learned from this thread is that I misunderstood why this one girl stopped talking to me. She just up and vanished, and I thought my friends said that she "coasted," which I inferred as being slang for "She had to move to the coast," so I understood that she was quite busy and we'd not be seeing each other anymore.

But now I learn that she was a ghost? I'm glad we stopped talking then. I don't need more hauntings in my life.

LOL, love that bit.

the ghost is clear?

smh.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

So like, translucent just means less light passes thru? Or the light is more spread?

Hang on tho does that mean ghosts are transparent or translucent

Ghosts are definitely translucent otherwise they'd be invisible. Question is, does "clear" necessarily mean completely transparent?
It's possible to have clear yellow plastic for example.

Well most ghosts are transparent and invisible since you cant even see them. They usually slam doors and shake light fixtures without you being able to see them. So I think they can be both actually depending on their methods of daunting.

Olive Garden or All of Garden, Kindergarten or Kidney Garden?

So many gardens.

 

[Raptor]

Unless you're a Ghostbuster, it's the former

LMAO.

I'd love to eat at Kidney Garden

Honestly, this thread has given me so much enjoyment based only on looking at the topic itself.

It's the ghost's ectoplasm that's translucent. The ghost itself is still invisible so the saying "the ghost is clear" is technically correct.

Thank you, OP.

 

[adj_noun]

The ghost is clear sounds like a Scientology prayer to L. Ron.

[Earthbound64]

This thread is a good thing and the OP is to be commended, because at least OP asked as opposed to saying it incorrectly.

Now if only we could get everyone who writes that something "peaked [their] interest" to have their interest piqued to find out whether they're writing it wrong or not.
And that's without even getting into all the people who write "per se" wrong (per se: "per say")

[Cyanity]

For all intensive porpoises OP, get your toast cleared.

 

[Voidwolf]

It's actually "the coaster's clear".

 

[cordy]

I have never, ever NEVER EVER heard "the ghost is clear" like what the fuck is this some accent thing?

Yo this topic is fucked up

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Well most ghosts are transparent and invisible since you cant even see them. They usually slam doors and shake light fixtures without you being able to see them. So I think they can be both actually depending on their methods of daunting.

So the saying "the ghost is clear" means danger is present but undetectable. Makes perfect sense.

Is this ad from the 50s? How old are you guys that you recognize this?!

 

[Walter White Walker]

Coast. wtf would "the ghost is clear" even freakin' mean?

 

[aeolustl]

Pretty sure it's the ghost is clear.
Just like the following:
Carrot on a steak
As easy as Pi
Rest in Piece
The glass is always clearer on the other side of the fence
A peace of cake

 

[commedieu]

Stop the cat box...

This could get confusing.

"The ghost is clear!"

"Did you say coast!?"

"I said the GHOST is clear!!"

"alright boys, you heard him, the coast is clear"

*pops out of cover*

*dies*

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

Hahah it's coast

If it makes you feel any better OP, i used to think the saying "up and at 'em!" was "up and Adam!" for an embarrassingly long time.

wait.... what?

 

[Makonero]

this thread sure turned out to not be a damp squid, that's for sure
