Did you notice that about 7% of F.R.I.E.N.D.S jokes are hard to get? Especially if you are from a different country, like me. I've started this joke-research when I was learning English at home. I loved getting nerdy with all the cultural references here. The goal of this blog is to help you laugh with confidence at every joke our English speaking friends make. Explore the blog posts via tags and share your perspective on the jokes! Katia
The term takes you to a Wild West America. Imagine horse carriage ready for a ride. What place would you call if you could? The one inside a coach? The one of a coachman himself? Or the one besides the "driver"? Taking the last place would be called "riding the shotgun". Yes, applying a shotgun in case of attack for those passangers was a must.
ReplyDeleteThese days when couches are less popular, people moved the term "shotgun" to cars. In fact there is a game among groups of friends (attention!). If you say "shotgun!" in time you get to ride at a front seat by the driver.
The rules on when and how that shotgun-front-seat thing works are beyond imaginable. Take a look here:
