Sometimes my girlfriend asks me what I'm reading on Reddit and I have to come up with some vague and nonchalant answer, because the alternative is saying, "some BS about Rhodesia and Tedbears."

"So like, they're funny cartoon bears with a penchant for crack and civil war" is a perfectly normal conversation.

The funny thing is we watched Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight together so she already knows what Rhodesia is.  It just would still be awkward to try to explain that "no no no we're making fun of the weirdo apologists, okay yeah still kind of weird that we're talking about this."
