Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for September 13, 2014

Can we have a sticky with the translation?

I must watch too much BBC and other Brit shows, cause I figured out most of these strips so far…. Did have some question about ‘gormy’, but I figured it for the equivalent of ‘idjit’ or any number of other intellect related insults.

“The lights are on but nobody’s home.”

Sticky = short for sticky note, on some forums there are ‘sticky notes’ at the top of the page that answer all the FAQs.

You know how over at B.C. the keep advertising a book, “He Did It His Way” with all the Christian strips. Maybe since Darby isn’t doing anything he can put together a collection of all the Mac strips! I nominate Pacopuddy to do the translations. Darby could also do a Fungo treasury. Are you listening Darby? I love that over at “Non Sequitur” Wiley actually reads our comments and responds to us. I know Michael Fry of “Over the Hedge” also read the comments. Has anyone seen Darby over here?

He does seem to be using gormy in the opposite sense of gormless, judging from the context. Reminds me of a Seinfeld conversation about “debunked”, and trying out its opposite, “bunked”. BTW, that’s one handsome kitteh!

Your china plate is a bit gormy = Satchel’s not too bright.

Translation: I’m hungry. Anything to eat?

I just had a thought. I don’t know if “Get Fuzzy” is in any foreign-language papers, but if it is those poor translators!

Bucky has an English cousin? A while back, he seemed to think England was imaginary.

Be sure to run that by me again. Because, you know, I have never learned how to read.

“gormy” is “gourmet-like”.as in fancy food…

“Your China Plate is a bit gormey” = “Your friend (Satchel) is a bit dim witted”, referring to meeting Satchel at the door. I must say Satchel seems to understand Cockney rhyming slang better than Bucky – or the rest of us.

Isn’t he saying that he is glad to see Bucky, but Bucky’s friend Satchel is as dumb as a sack of rocks?

Nice try, but about as British as “English Muffins”…
