Phoebe tells the guys that she's just met her sister's stalker and how cute he is and how she is going to help him to get over Ursula(the sister). Meanwhile Joey has a mouthful of a scone. And when Joey answers Phoebe the breadcrumbs fall all over her.
Phoebe: I asked for news, not the weather.
I assume the weather Phoebe is talking about is about the spray of breadcrumbs falling onto her. But what's the deal with the "news part"? What "news" is she talking about?

According to Urban Dictionary:
ReplyDeleteWhen someone is talking and is spitting and spraying saliva at you...
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=News%20Not%20the%20Weather
So I assume that "news" part could be anything you talk about. Not ensseseraly some news. And the weather as I guessed is about the rain of breadcrumbs, drops of drinks that are sprayed on you from the mouth of a speaker.
Yes, both "say it, don't spray it" and "I wanted the news, not the weather" are cheeky little phrases somone came up with at some point to say in an amusing way, "don't spit on me/spray particles at me when you talk".
ReplyDeleteWeather is typically included in a news show broadcast; they are related items that happen to correspond to the components in question here. So, to say you wanted the news, not the weather, you wanted the news (you wanted to hear what the person was saying with their mouth), not the weather (the physical "weather" droplets/particles from their mouth).
