The Jeopardy host stands in front of a puzzle that reads: IS THIS YOUR FL_SHLIGHT?
In the lower right hand corner a Picture-in-Picture view shows a contestant tugging at his collar and sweating over how to answer. His score is $10,000

That is indeed my flushlight!
The ‘u’ is already up there
Aw fuck.
fuck
So it is your fleshlight, then
That is simple, Fleshlight is a product and would be an uppercase at the start while flashlight is lowercase at the start … simple 👀
Not necessarily. Is fleshlight an actual brand or the general name of the product?Because if there’s other brands all labeled as “fleshlight” then it’s lower case.
Like dildo is lower case because that’s the general name, there’s no Dildo brand Dildo as far as I’ve seen.
lol I was making a bad joke about how it’s all uppercase regardless so my advice is completely useless
you do have a point though … we take name brands sometimes and put it into our regular lexicon many times I think xerox is a good example as well.
Makes sense, then you’ve got me over here saying I need a band-aid and never paying for the name brand… And my spouses family asking for a coke and actually wanting a Sprite.
Slaughtering English is an american passtime
what is the problem with saying: is this your flashlight?
Not sure if joking or u really don’t know what the other word is lol
I am too innocent
Look up what a flEshlight is
Um flashlight? That’s what Americans call torches, right? Even though they don’t flash and are usually a constant beam…
U really don’t know the other possibility?
I am aware of it, it isn’t something I’d think of without prompting though… why is it that guy’s first thought? 🤔
Why isn’t it your first thought??? What is wrong with you?
In the early days of flashlights they would flash them on and off to extend battery life.
I’d like to buy a vowel
One of those “emphasis can be placed on any word” sentences.
