I wanted to learn more about DIBBEN's idiom - which he had to explain to me at the time...he didn't...apart from to say that the idiom ran along the lines of 'he's one short of a full whathaveyou'...

So I typed into a NORTON search: table chair missing idiom

...and got the result below which wasn't what I was expecting to find but maybe it was...DAVID JACKSON was a SHIN BEIT operative and very high up in that evil organisation...from his teenage years onwards...at ESSEX UNIV....and I had been 'put on' to him...put that together with ill cult programmers who figure that they are 'gods' - showing you a particular chair as representative of themselves...and you get what I mean:


Leaning On The Furniture - Television Tropes & Idioms

David Jackson does this in a flashback during v1 of Survival Of The Fittest, leaning back in his chair so it rises onto its back legs, and putting his legs on the table.

...anyway, the second NORTON search result was as below - and I recognised it - the TASCHMANNS had written it, for some reason:

Blessed Are The Cheesemakers
Cheese: Made of win! And fear.
"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
— GK Chesterton

Ah, cheese. It's just one of those Inherently Funny Foods that shows up quite often in the TV Universe and can be used for either good or evil.

A popular treat for mice and rats (in real life, any fatty food will do; peanut butter being more popular), and Trademark Favourite Food of the Surrender Monkey.

For some reason (probably regarding the Rule Of Perception) Cartoon Cheese always comes in wheels or wedges of something holey that, if pressed for specifics, most people would call "Swiss cheese". Some mature varieties may have visible stink lines.

The Trope Namer is a line in Monty Pythons Life of Brian.

Additional cheesy tropes:
•Battle Royale With Cheese
•Ham And Cheese
•Suck E Cheeses
•The Power Of Cheese
