A six-panel SMBC comic. An angry bald man yells "You son of a bitch!" at a calm red-haired mustachioed man, who keeps pedantically correcting his grammar. The calm man explains there are several of them so it should be plural, then that they all share one mother, then that he himself is the only one correcting the grammar so the man should only be mad at him, and adds that their parents were both women. The angry man grows increasingly flustered, stumbling through wrong insults ("You sons of bitches!", "You... sons of a bitch!", "You, uh... you..."). In the final panel the now-tiny, distant angry man shouts "You son of bitches!" and the calm man repeats it back approvingly: "Very good!" Votey panel: a close-up of the angry man's furious face delivering the carefully-worded insult "You bastard in the non-literal sense!"
