I might spend this summer teaching English under the table in Morocco!

Is... is that an idiom I'm unaware of, or...?

Not to my knowledge. Morocco is cheap, sunny but not blazing hot, safe, and a good place for an under-the-table TEFL gig, because Americans don't need visas to enter the country (but there aren't that many expats) and demand is very high.

Plus, I might learn some of Arabic's wackiest dialect! It'll be cool.

[Loud Whispers]

Isn't Morocco the USA's oldest ally after France?

[Sirus]

Basically, yes. They were the first nation to formally recognize American independence, and the two nations have had treaties since the 1780s.

One of those treaties- the Treaty of Tripoli- is mostly important because John Adams straight-up reassured Morocco that the US was an entirely secular nation whose government had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. A sizable cohort of the country which thinks it wants to return the US to the way the Founding Fathers envisioned it has yet to get the memo.

Unless "under the table" is the idiom you're asking about.
Which is- getting paid under the table. Cash in hand, taxman doesn't need to know about it,
-Sort of thing.

If not, my bad.

[Putnam]

Yeah, people are asking about "under the table", which basically means "discreetly, especially illicitly"

[Aklyon]

Totalbiscuit put it as his #1 despite it not having an FOV slider and despite that it runs at 30 FPS. Like, wow!

I was actually really surprised to see all the critical acclaim, I expected it to be, uh, like Homestuck in that regard, I.E mostly just ignored, but as it turns out being less than 10 hours long can really help people pay attention.

Also helps: Its not long and convoluted like the last description I heard of homestuck.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ha, yeah, Homestuck is VERY complicated.

[Bauglir]

Yeah, people are asking about "under the table", which basically means "discreetly, especially illicitly"

also "blowjobs"

Sounds haraam.

I think it's not blowjobs
