Editing Talk:1148: Nothing to Offer

:As I was reading the comic today, I saw the joke, but didn't really find it funny.  Then I burst out laughing when I finally got to the word "gin". [[Special:Contributions/76.122.5.96|76.122.5.96]] 06:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
:I'm thinking the "CHLY" cut off behind the radio might be a typo, meant to be "CHYL(E)"? "...a milky bodily fluid consisting of lymph and emulsified fats". [[User:Sokak|Sokak]] ([[User talk:Sokak|talk]]) 11:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

-What is 'toil'? English is not my native language, and I heard before "blood, sweat and tears" but never heard before about 'toil'. Also, it's conviniently missing from the ordered list. Is it related to toilets? [[Special:Contributions/189.123.133.2|189.123.133.2]] 03:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
-:Toil simply means struggle or laborious effort. It's the only thing that is breaking the pattern of the bodily fluids but is part of the original quote from Churchill. --[[Special:Contributions/184.36.97.155|184.36.97.155]] 04:42, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
-I don't actually think 'CHYL' was a typo and he just couldn't write the E because of the spacing...so it wasn't a mistake and EVERYTHING RANDALL MUNROE WRITES IS AWESOME AND PERFECT.{{unsigned|125.34.1.165}}
-:The typo wasn't the missing 'E'. A lot of the fluids on that list are obscured by the radio and contain missing letters. Read the two carefully. What's written is CH'''LY''' and what it is assumed to mean is CH'''YL'''E.{{unsigned|110.174.201.221}}
-Do you think there's any significance to the fact that 'rheum', which is pronounced similarly to 'rum', is immediately proceeding 'gin'? -☃
-I tried to see the official transcript ([https://xkcd.com/1148/info.0.json]), but it seems to be obscured as well. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.67.22|172.69.67.22]] 03:11, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
-Given that Churchill was British, the spelling should be fæces rather than feces. While the beginning of the word is obscured in the comic and it is difficult to determine exactly how it is spelled, the small vertical line preceding the E looks more like part of an F than part of an A. {{unsigned ip|172.69.6.56|18:49, 1 December 2023}}
