Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 02, 2023

she hasn’t got it but she is going to get it!

In informal contexts, “Got it?” or “You got it?” means “Do you understand?” and “Got it.” or “I got it.” means “I understand.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/got_it https://youtu.be/RoCslBHMDfM

I’m reminded of a statement that went along the line of, It depends on what the definition of “is” is. Or something like that.

I’m betting that one of those things is not “I don’t got it”.

Sheesh, I never thought that “I got it!” could also mean “I dropped it!”

“I got it. I got it. I got it. I ain’t got it.” —Brophy from “High Anxiety”

Lucy is playing baseball in her nice dress – wouldn’t her mum be worried that it will get dirty or torn? The other girls play baseball in their dresses, too.

Lucy’s not even trying.

A big mouth for one……..

Somebody said yesterday about putting Woodstock in right field and here’s an example of why…

She still got it.

Cue Charlie Brown throwing his hat on the ground and stomping on it while screaming “I can’t stand it! I just can’t stand it!”

I think Lucy meant, I think I got it

Lucy in the outfield is like Michael Jackson, wearing a glove for no apparent reason.

She’s not wrong, but she still don’t got it.

It usually means you’ve caught the ball.

Ah, the Bill Clinton school of defense.

Well Lucy, don’t just talk about it. Pick it up = Get it now and throw it into the infield.

No you didn’t…..

It could also mean VD

The 1962 Mets had a SS, Elio Chacon, who had limited English and never understood “I got it”. He kept crashing into LF Frank Thomas. So the coaches told Thomas to yell “Yo la tengo”, I got it on Spanish. A fly ball comes close to both, Thomas yells “yo la tengo”, Chacon stops like he’s supposed to. And Frank Thomas gets blindsided by CF Richie Ashburn, who doesn’t speak Spanish!

You can tell that this is from the ‘70s …… if it was drawn for today’s times ….. She would have had a cellphone in her other hand …… :0

Hopefully not an STD.

Well,at least it didn’t roll past her to the wall

It’s over here…

“I got it. I got it. I ain’t got it.” ~Joe Pesci(?)

sure, Lucy

Pick it up and throw it!

The only way she’s going to “get” it is if the ball lands on her head and drops into her convulsing clutching glove.

Not for nothing, but there is no way in blazes that a fly ball just simply dies on the ground upon the initial landing. It usually bounces high in the air.

And that was our semantics lesson for today.

You’re going to get it, alright.

" ‘I got it can’ mean a lot of things!"

E.g., “I’m gonna get it!”

But not in a Peanuts comic. Thankfully, no actual violence.
