Finally Worked out Em's Cock Block / Chicken Line...

[EminemBase]

I know I'm not alone in thinking what the fuck was he on about when he said this in "Despicable"... After hearing it in the "Hello Good Morning Remix" thing it just dawned to me what it is lmao...

For those who didn't get it, it's just another pun... A cock is a male adult chicken so that's the pun there cock (penis) / cock (male chicken) and then block / square - cock (chicken) block (square).

[EminemBase]

Square always means gay or something like that.

Sorry, this:

1. (n; adj) A person who is regarded as dull, rigidly conventional, and out of touch with current trends.

Yeah square means not trendy, out of touch. Not gay lmao.

He's using block as a pun for square, not square as a pun for gay.

Haha I got that one immediately.
He came to cock block [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockblock]. A male chicken is a cock. If there were a square male chicken, one could refer to it as a "cock block". It's a little devious, but I don't really think it's complicated.

While I'm still trying to figure out his stabbed in the mail line, so what do I know.

[qawserftgyuh]

thanks for figuring it out

While I'm still trying to figure out his stabbed in the mail line.

Well that's not a pun, it's just wit.

It's just a play on the idea of getting things in the mail. And obviously, a knife couldn't stab you itself, but it's a play on the idea of getting an action / intention in the mail.

Just a bit of left-field wit like "I'm pre-disaster / I fuck shit up before it happens".

Hmm while that pre-disaster line is one of my favourites, the stabbed in the mail one still fails to impress me, even though you explained it.
Maybe it's just not my sense of humour. Or I'll just never understand it

I know what cockblock means and I know a male chicken is a cock lol, and I agree - it's not complicated. It just didn't make sense because it didn't dawn on me that he was using a pun for both words, I was coming at it from the angle of... when he says "I came to cock block like"...

that introduction / feedline makes it sound like the next line is a description for a scenario / way to cockblock. Rather than a feedline to a pun of both words in the phrase.

Actually it IS a pun on stabbing you in the mail. At least that's what I've always assumed.

I think the 'stabbed in the mail' is one of his best also.

Because it's animated, it's not necessarily that it's funny, I don't exactly crack up at it - but it's left-field / clever, it makes me smirk deep inside lol.

As, it's a creative idea rather than an aimless pun. Anybody can write a pun, but to have somebody 'stabbed in the mail' lmao, it's actually a creative... 'invention' of a line. It takes character.

Exactly how I feel about it. The pre-disaster line is genius, the other one I still don't really get either

Haha yeah, Lil Wayne would have delivered it like this: "I came to cock block - square male chicken!

No lol, I really don't think it is a pun for that.

That would be very contrived and makes much less sense. That would mean, you would have to assume the person getting stabbed is wearing a specific piece of armor for it to work. Really do not think it's that.

Also, that wouldn't explain / give any animation or credence to the knife being able to stab you itself. The pun would work but the rest would be redundant lol, makes much less sense.

It's just an animated / creative idea about putting something in the mail, in the way you can have a telegram in the mail... except, a knife couldn't stab you itself, but he's putting the 'intention' of stabbing you in the mail. It fits right in with his whole 'cartoonish violence' of Shady / 99.

You guys are overanalyzing it lol. He came to cockblock like a square (block) male chicken (cock)...

No you are. Me and everybody I knew understood the pun first time they heard it. Its really not that complicated or confusing or even worth a thread being made over it because it is 1 line that is months old...

Thanks for sharing this ground breaking discovery!

Not to be a dick about it but its a pretty straightforward (and clever) line. I'm surprised it took you this long to figure it out.

No, I'm not alone actually.

I noticed many people saying "wtf" over that line; on here, other forums, on YouTube comments, everywhere. And, even in a kinetic text video of the "Despicable" freestyle, the guy who made the video put a '?' on that line. So, quite obviously, I wans't alone. At all.

And, I already explained the reasoning behind it dawning on me randomly...

I know what cockblock means and I know a male chicken is a cock lol, and I agree - it's not complicated. It just didn't make sense because it didn't dawn on me that he was using a pun for both words, I was coming at it from the angle of... when he says "I came to cock block like"...

Get off your high horse. And stop whipping it, that's animal-cruelty.

At no point did I say the line was complicated, it's just a shitty line. That's why it can sound confusing due to its structure. It's not a rather clever line, it's a really bad pun.

PS. Quite obviously this thread / the point of it was ONLY for other people who didn't get the line... by definition. When did I claim it was a ground-breaking discovery? That's why you had to say "not to be a dick" - because you recognize yourself you're being a dick. You just made this response, purely to make yourself feel good about yourself.

But if you got the line prior to seeing this thread, it's really a moot thing, to actually respond. I've seen dozens of threads of people just randomly 'clicking' with things they previously didn't get for whatever reason. Which, I got. But I didn't go in and go "OMG, YOU DIDN'T GET THIS? AHAHAH I DID MAN". What a complete cockish thing to do. You came to be a cock, like... a penis.

If you live to validate yourself then do so by impressing your daddy, not by making babyish posts in forum threads thinking you're above me. It's not like I was sat for months analyzing the line in a lab, it's just that I heard it again in this new verse and it randomly clicked.
