The thing is... do they? We don't know that they're actually referencing anything at all. I always thought that, once you got the vibe, you could contribute to the conversation with the phrasing and use the implied story of the phrase for the context.
I might say to you, "Kyle, when Janet left him." You don't need to know who Kyle or Janet are to infer that this might not be a good thing. Alternatively, I might say that, and mime like I'm wiping sweat from my brow as of relieved, and it might change the meaning.
We have no real way of knowing what history they might be referring to. Or if there even is one.
I'm a hearing individual but I'd like to say that I always enjoy subtitles and I really the way they sometimes describe the emotion music intends to convey.
Like when it says "romantic melody" or "suspenseful music." I like having that spelled out for me because sometimes I'll hear the music and I'll get a completely different vibe from what's playing than what was intended.
"Why is this horror scene playing elevator music" has been a real question I've asked myself, only for the subtitles to tell me I misinterpreted the music.
I always thought this but with the added twist that the Devil didn't actually lose. He chose to "lose" because he didn't want Johnny humbled. He wanted Johnny and all that pride to go across earth challenging anyone to believe they could be so good as to beat the Devil, inspiring more pride.
This was uncalled for, and a quick look through your comment history indicates that you're either a person who thrives on taking an opposing viewpoint for the sake of being an oppositional pain, or a troll. I'm going to go with the latter.
Dissonant discourse has value but you're intentionally inflammatory so from me, to you, kindly fuck right off. Try and learn something from this. I will engage you no further.
Your overall point is very, very important and often overlooked but pure sugar does not take "longer" to turn into sugar in the bloodstream than simple carbohydrate.
You don't need to turn to hyperbole! Your point is already very important!
