Coupling meets Piracy

[timepiececlock]

So, did anyone notice that the navy commadore on Pirates of the Caribbean was Jack Davenport, who plays Steve on the BBC show Coupling?

I did. It took me until the proposal scene to place him, but I did!

Yup. I did.

I actually recognized him in the first scene, and squeaked. It's STEVE!

clever, clever. Took me a bit longer. But I still did.

Jack reminded me of Spike at times. It's scary how much my mind is STILL comparing everything to BtVS.

Everything is still compared to Buffy. It's like a curse... an enjoyable curse. BTW, "savvy" means "do you know", you say? I thought they meant savvy, like, cool or smooth.

Well, in the context of the film it meant, "Get it?" and over the years it has evolved to meant "cool" or "smooth" like you said. Because one who is savvy is "in the know", therefore "cool".

But it originated with the spanish language word "sabes".

And thus exits the linguistics nerd with way too many useless facts and random information.

I would ahve said they were using it in the film like saying, "Agreed?", but it works out to mean pretty much the same thing. Cool thing to know.
