      Being “up for” something is the same as being “down with” something.

      “You’re shit” and “you ain’t shit” mean the same thing.

      “Giving in” and “giving out” sometimes mean the same thing.

      English is a delightful mess of redundancy and contradictions.

    I heard Jack O’Neill and Teal’c in my head on this one.

    J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I’m going to throw down!

    T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O’Neill?

    J: What?

    T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?

    Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism “throwing up” to Teal’c last night after Sam’s bout in the infirmary and I’m guessing he thinks the reverse means

    J: No!

    J: I’m perfectly… Continent.
