An SMBC comic titled "Episodes in Etymology (word origins)." In a single panel, an excited blonde person points and says, "Look at this sandwich! It's as big as a submarine!" beside a huge overstuffed sandwich. A man in a fedora and red vest, stroking his chin, replies, "Sandwich? Submarine?! That's it!" as if inspired to coin a new word. The caption underneath reads: "December 3, 1928: The first recorded use of the word 'fat-ass.'" — subverting the expected etymology joke. Votey: a close-up of a man's wide-eyed, startled face yelling, "Fire the torpedoes!"
