What exactly does “gay as a tangerine” mean? Are tangerines gay? Am I gay because I ate a few today? But I still like girls! What do?
So many questions!

@newt I did a course on Autism recently and this sort of thing came up, statements such as this are taken literally by people with autism.
In England (at least) we have a saying - "raining cats and dogs", this was used as an example,.
It means heavy rain, to a person who is autistic, they have a vision of falling cats and dogs (like rain falls)
it shows we need to think about how we use language.

@zleap did they teach you how to become an autist?
