Scott: Did you know that [sitcoms] are 50 years old today?

Scott: No, ZIP CODES. Zip codes are 50 years old today.
Me: Wait. So sitcoms are older than zip codes?
I do not think that word means what you think it means

Huck: Why can’t juice be a flavor?
Me: Well, that’s orange juice, so its flavor is orange.
Huck: No. I mean why can’t it have a flavor like water?
