− | + | {{w|O RLY?}} is an internet meme (for Oh Really) typically used to express sarcastic agreement with a statement. The typical response to O RLY is usually YA RLY (Yeah Really), NO WAI (No Way!) or SRSLY? (Seriously?) | |
− | + | [[Cueball]]'s response avoids this typical exchange though, instead replying with another meme typically used to derail conversations in which a person repeats what another person said and turns it into a double entendre: | |
− | : | ||
− | + | :Friend: You're such a messy eater. | |
+ | :You: Eat her? I hardly know her! | ||
− | + | ||
+ | In this comic the O RLY? could be intentionally misunderstood as Orally. So if Cueball has just said something along the lines of: | ||
+ | :Cueball: Yesterday me and my hot neighbor was together at her place. | ||
+ | (Which could mean he just came over to borrow a cup of sugar, and then had a cup of coffee...) | ||
+ | |||
+ | And the other hardly believes this and says: | ||
+ | :Friend: O RLY? (Oh really?) | ||
+ | Cueball was then supposed to say | ||
+ | :Cueball: YA RLY! (Yeah really!) | ||
+ | But instead he delivers a sentence that could be spoken like: | ||
+ | :Cueball: Orally? I hardly know her! | ||
+ | As if his friend implied that the encounter at the neighbor must have been of a sexual character. This could make Cueball look better than if he understood the others doubtful comment. And he has derailed the other guys clichéd exchange. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the ''title text'' the joke is that the real cliché is that ''you fight fire with fire'', whereas in the comic, Cueball fights a cliché with another cliché. | ||
