Are we abbreviating something into so. now?
I think it’s a native German speaker – you said ‘oder so’ for ‘or something’…
Is that a meta joke because of the “half a pickup truck” sized satelite that dropped to earth or pure, Pickup truck sized coincidence?
Also, I am hungry now.
Yes, it’s a meta-joke inspired by the funny unit of size used in that article and on the fact that it is even more opaque to Europeans, which have even less of a feeling what that actually means.
Also, the format is a pretty common standard template (“xxx or something - no idea I’m yyy”), which is very popular in Germany, but I am not quite sure it is also a thing internationally…
And yes, I am also now graving for one of those delicious Pickup choco biscuits! :-)
