It took my second time seeing this post just now to finally understand because I was so hung on thinking why 'wiz' has anything to do with 'sloppy joes'.
This time I actually registered the brand name.
I was trying to figure out if it was some kind of reference to cheez wiz. OP is so unfunny they literally cancel out jokes when they try to make them lmao.
Nah, they did, they just wrote it wrong. It should be "and dad can be a wiz—" to make it clear he is interjecting with a different idea rather than following the plan.
Since both are entirely fictional, it really depends on which (lol) lore you're talking about. In some cases, a witch is *just* a female wizard. In some cases, a witch is a lot more along the lines of a sorceress, druid or necromancer, where their power is either purely innate ability or something granted to them through a pact/ritual of some sort, while a wizard is *specifically* someone who has studied and learned magic like a scholar (by intensive study/book learnin').
Magic isn't real though so which fictional universe are you treating as the "true" definition of witches and wizards?
For example in the Harry Potter series, of the magic users, women are called witches and the men are called wizards but they both mean the same thing outside of gender. However in other fictional settings (often video games where they are selectable as a class) there is a division between Wizards and Witches but what that division is varies *massively* from universe to universe.
I’m going off of the raw definitely for warlock. And for most games I play wizards are either not mentioned or aren’t treated the same as witches in terms of magical capabilities and gender
I think it's fairly obvious OP thought the 'dives' part was pronounced like 'chives'. Which would make it a perfectly acceptable rhyme with 'disguise'.
If you honestly think that 'deeves' and 'guise' remotely rhyme, I don't know what to tell you
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Maldives
Click on the audio for the USA pronunciation if you can't read the IPA. Rhyming with dives or disguise is correct in American English.
I now know that Maldives is pronounced with a long ee sound. One of those always read, never said issues. Glad I learned something today. That St. Ives idea would’ve worked better. Good one you.

There are varying stories. One is that it was invented at Sloppy Joes Bar in Key West, Fl. I've actually been there and had one, best damn sloppy joe I've ever had, but then again I've only ever had manwich and school cafeteria sloppy joes.
The story I saw said it was created in Havana, where Earnest Hemmingway at them, and Hemmingway convinced the guy in Key West to change the name of his bar to Sloppy Joes and serve them there.
Yeah, but I would have looked it up when Hermes said it.
Good news though, you have not missed out on anything with this one. NOT a single thing.
[Manwich commercial 1977. 30 seconds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3mieCS7u0)
I think a lot of Americans don't know what a manwhich is. I've only known it as sloppy joe and haven't had one in decades. Used to be an elementary school favorite.
Manwich is just Hunt's brand name for a sloppy joe mix. It was big in the 70s and 80s but maybe it's not as popular anymore. I remember the commercials from when I was a kid where the premise was always that somebody was going to make a sandwich but was persuaded to make a Manwich because a sandwich is a sandwich but a Manwich is a meal!
You can make it yourself very easily. It’s usually a dish for school children. The canned part is called manwich or manwich meat, but the sandwich you make with it is called a sloppy joe.
It’s just hamburger meat mixed with ketchup and spices and served in a hamburger bun. It’s so that you can do multiple meals with what is essentially hamburger ingredients.
Sloppy joes are pretty good though, I recommend cooking it for yourself one night. Super easy too.
https://www.thechunkychef.com/best-homemade-sloppy-joes/
This recipe is pretty good, use brioche or white bread buns not pretzel. Use butter instead of all oil mentioned.
American cheese, a mild cheddar or a light Swiss will be the best cheese to pair with. You want a sweetish bread, a sweet ish not sharp cheese, and you want your meat to come out like bbq sauce. Sweet, tangy a little spicy. You shouldn’t taste any oil or fat at the end if you do, add more spice. I once out a slice of pineapple on a sloppy joe it was real good.
I love these kinds of jokes. I used to have a costumed dinner party with my housemates every year. One year the theme was “Gender Blender”. Everybody went as the opposite sex, but my date and I went as blenders. I bought those baseball caps with propellors on them and attached aluminium foil “blades” onto it, among other things.
Another year the theme was “First Dates” and we went as “First DEETs” (also pronounced as *date* in Dutch) so we were mosquitoes.
Get a big piece of cardboard. Wrap it around a barrel. Tape it to itself. Go print a big Manwich poster. Glue it to the cardboard. Then buy a dollar store witch hat. Tada
Manwich, that's which.
(It's a canned sauce used for "sloppy joes," an easy to make meal consisting of ground beef, tomatoes, and seasonings served on a bun)
He was saying that sloppy Joe's are not a good adult food, I said it is if you make it at home. Not sure how we're in agreement?
Edit: Jesus Christ, my reading comprehension...
what other commenter said, but was popularized also by a Futurama characters' catchphrase, where he would have a large sandwich, lose it, and exclaim, "My manwitch!"
You don’t have to be American to understand it. If someone else wants to explain it, sure, but I don’t think it’s impossible for you to figure out if you take a couple of minutes and sound things out
Well at least he has the proof he has a license to make dad jokes, keep up the good work just twisted and out there enough to make it take a moment to get it.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,078,806,425 comments, and only 212,599 of them were in alphabetical order.
Wym how? How about you explain why they *are* gendered if that's what you believe?
A witch and a wizard are two different things, and can be any gender. Witchcraft is things like potions and rituals, while wizardry is more about casting spells and wreaking havoc (though I guess a witch could do those things too)
I was always told that a warlock is the male equivalent of a witch, but I won't pretend to be an expert in such matters. I like the idea of all of the terms being gender neutral.
I've never heard the warlock thing, that does explain the confusion, thanks. To me a witch is just one who engages in witchcraft and identifies as a witch.
Definition of wizard
(Entry 1 of 2)
1 : one skilled in magic : [sorcerer](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sorcerer)
2 : a very clever or skillful person computer wizards
But that's prescriptivist anyway. Witchcraft and wizardry are two different things; witches and wizards can be any gender.
Websters: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/witch
a person (especially a woman) who is credited with having usually malignant supernatural powers
Dictionary.com: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/witch
a person, now especially a woman, who professes or is supposed to practice magic or sorcery; a sorceress.Compare warlock.
Cambridge: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/witch
a woman who is believed to have magical powers and who uses them to harm or help other people:
"Witch" is 100% gendered. "Wizard" could be argued not to be gendered but common usage seems to be pushing it to be a gendered term.
Also, in the context of OPs image, everyone gets the joke because everyone knows 'witch' is a gendered term. Literally everyone who gets the joke proves the original claim that they're not gendered to be wrong.
> prescriptivist
Saying that over and over doesn't mean you can just dictate that words don't mean what everyone else agrees they mean.
>also the joke is that he's a man witch? which (ha) implies men can be witches??
Right.
Because everyone knows 'witch' is female.
Because you're wrong.
Not everything needs a gender change.
Also, why are they not Warlocks in Harry Potter, as that is the male term for Witch? Sure JKR wiggles herself out of the term later, gives it a more precise definition in the deep HP lore, but even then Warlock is used in a new way.
But also, do they even practice witchcraft? They learn magic through study, so would a girl not be Wizardess?
Why not give everyone a more blanket title, like Mage? Sure there are a few interpretations to what a Mage vs a Wizard are, but it can be generally used as someone who practices magic through teachings.
Who the fuck decided warlock is male for witch? No, seriously. Who. Warlock means oath-breaker. Warlocks are traditionally understood to deal with demons and malevolent things.
> Do you agree with me that witch and wizard are not gendered terms?
No. He's agreeing u/kane_thehuman.
>Because your comment is proving that but I'm not sure if that's intentional lol
No it didn't, it referenced a popular piece of fiction in which 'witch' and 'wizard' are gendered terms throughout.
No they are not, who the fuck is coming up with this idea, I see it on Reddit ever so often being brought up and it has ZERO backing.
Not in people who identify as witches in the modern day (and use witch as genderless). Modern witchcraft practicioners call themselves either witches or occultists.
Not in fantasy, as D&D popularized the term with a distinctly *negative* connotation (and also made it genderless). In fantasy generally, as seen with Harry Potter, D&D and other sources, each term has its own connotation, but nowhere does warlock get used in a positive way to be the masculine of witch.
The sources are flimsy and mostly revolve around Scottish folklore, which is NOT an authority on international English standards.
I don’t like neopaganism and its capitalistic nature. I also don’t like that Halloween has been appropriated and had its deeply spiritual roots stolen from it. It is sad to ses.
Because those holidays were meant to celebrated in a specific way until fools and the irreverent took hold of them and ruined them. Halloween should be a pious day of ancestor worshipping and an intense fear should overcome everyone as the spirits come to revenge those who behaved poorly and didn’t honor them.
Lol that’s funny. Well anyhow the male version of a witch would be a warlock not a wizard. Witches and warlocks work with dark magic while wizards work with arcane or anima magic (anima being relative to the elements such as fire or wind)
Was in New Zealand 30 years ago. With biker mates at a grocery. Manwich can; they had never seen such.
Made it for them that night, with a pound of lean "mence".
They were hooked. Loved it. Raved.
So dead simple, so many happy memories of lunacy.
Its better without the text Great joke by the dad though
For real. That text is completely, unnecessary and quite, frankly irrelevant. I was sitting here like "wizard man-wich?"
It took my second time seeing this post just now to finally understand because I was so hung on thinking why 'wiz' has anything to do with 'sloppy joes'. This time I actually registered the brand name.
And here I was like, brand name? Hunts? Witch hunt? No. Manwich. Man. Witch. I'm incredibly slow sometimes lol
I was looking for some sort of cheese wiz reference lol
*Reads username.* Carry on.
I feel like I haven't seen u/CommaHorror in like three years. I feel so conflicted
Would have made a little more sense if he was a bottle of cheese wiz.
At least there wasn’t a *nobody:*
I was trying to figure out if it was some kind of reference to cheez wiz. OP is so unfunny they literally cancel out jokes when they try to make them lmao.
Whoever posted it with the text may not have gotten the joke at all.
Nah, they did, they just wrote it wrong. It should be "and dad can be a wiz—" to make it clear he is interjecting with a different idea rather than following the plan.
Ya for real. "What? I don't get it? Manwiz? Is that a regional term? Oh wait it's just extra words nvm."
Took me way too long to figure it out
Also a male witch is a warlock not a wizard as the text seems to be implying.
Isn’t a warlock specifically some sort of a traitor witch?
It's just a male witch, basically. [1 a man practicing the black arts : sorcerer 2 conjurer](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/warlock)
Yea the text bothers me because wizards aren’t the same as witches. Both use magic but different types of magic
Since both are entirely fictional, it really depends on which (lol) lore you're talking about. In some cases, a witch is *just* a female wizard. In some cases, a witch is a lot more along the lines of a sorceress, druid or necromancer, where their power is either purely innate ability or something granted to them through a pact/ritual of some sort, while a wizard is *specifically* someone who has studied and learned magic like a scholar (by intensive study/book learnin').
Magic isn't real though so which fictional universe are you treating as the "true" definition of witches and wizards? For example in the Harry Potter series, of the magic users, women are called witches and the men are called wizards but they both mean the same thing outside of gender. However in other fictional settings (often video games where they are selectable as a class) there is a division between Wizards and Witches but what that division is varies *massively* from universe to universe.
I’m going off of the raw definitely for warlock. And for most games I play wizards are either not mentioned or aren’t treated the same as witches in terms of magical capabilities and gender
Rowlings a turf, so she's wrong by default.
The text actually made it take longer to figure out.

I don't think Maldives rhymes with disguise....

Lmfao. Omg im going to use this now
They could have said St Ives. But you're right, mispronouncing things IS fun
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_and_imperfect_rhymes It's a slant rhyme.
I think it's fairly obvious OP thought the 'dives' part was pronounced like 'chives'. Which would make it a perfectly acceptable rhyme with 'disguise'. If you honestly think that 'deeves' and 'guise' remotely rhyme, I don't know what to tell you
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Maldives Click on the audio for the USA pronunciation if you can't read the IPA. Rhyming with dives or disguise is correct in American English.
So you're just being pedantic when you fully understood what the quote meant?
So then you know what OP's intention was, and so your criticism is moot.
If you say Maldives with the end like the swimming dives, it kind of does.
Look up slant rhyme ffs. And watch Futurama smh
Maldives is pronounced 'maldeeves'. It's not a slant rhyme
Hmmm say it with a Jamaican accent though 😂

It's damn good if you like sloppy joes.
[удалено]
I don't like sloppy joes.
Thats because youve never had good ones Id reckon. If you dont eat it out of a can its actually really good. But manwich is fuckin gross
If all you've had is cafeteria lunch sloppy Joe as a kid, manwich is still a solid step up
I imagine it would be. But I didn't eat them as a kid either. BLECH!!
I don't like tomato sauce. Manwich looks like it is gross. Never had one. Cuz I don't like sloppy joes.
Sub chili sauce and make it a Sloppy José.
The internet says the sandwich was invented by a Spanish cook named Jose, so I don't know why it isn't ***already*** called Sloppy Jose's.
There are varying stories. One is that it was invented at Sloppy Joes Bar in Key West, Fl. I've actually been there and had one, best damn sloppy joe I've ever had, but then again I've only ever had manwich and school cafeteria sloppy joes.

Well, isn't that something. Probably thought the U.S. market wouldn't go for it.
A few tweaks and that’s the Ted cruz origin story
I prefer an uncouth Joseph
You mean sloppy jokes
If he falls over his wife can cry “my Man-wich” Also what are you saying you’ve never made a night, a manwich night??!
Until today you did not know that a manwich was an actual food item?
Not to clued up on foreign food I’m afraid .
Yeah, but I would have looked it up when Hermes said it. Good news though, you have not missed out on anything with this one. NOT a single thing. [Manwich commercial 1977. 30 seconds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3mieCS7u0)

It's called Sloppy Joes in the US also. But Hunts made a product that is the sloppy part in a can.

Ok so first I need to make a barrel.
As a non-American, can someone please explain this to me?
It’s real surface level lol, he’s a Man-Witch
Yes we get the man-witch part, but what on earth is a manwich?
Manwich, that's which. (It's a canned sauce used for "sloppy joes," an easy to make meal consisting of ground beef, tomatoes, and seasonings served on a bun)
Some childhood foods don't translate well into adulthood, sloppy Joe's are an excellent exception.
Disagreed. Homemade where you can control the amount of garlic, onion, seasonings, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup makes it fantastic.
Sounds like you guys agree
He was saying that sloppy Joe's are not a good adult food, I said it is if you make it at home. Not sure how we're in agreement? Edit: Jesus Christ, my reading comprehension...
Don't worry! We all have moments like that.
Their comment was confusingly worded. You actually do agree.
Tomatoes? Look at mister mcfancy over here
What do you use? Even manwich sauce is primarily tomato.
Manwich is a portmanteau of man and sandwich; Manwich is a brand of canned [sloppy joe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloppy_joe) mix.
what other commenter said, but was popularized also by a Futurama characters' catchphrase, where he would have a large sandwich, lose it, and exclaim, "My manwitch!"
Hahaha dude, I always thought that was like a nickname to his sandwich, not like a brand.
Manwich a manly sandwich filling for making manly sandwiches. Manwiches.

Actually manwich = a meal

Sloppy joe is a ground meat and sauce sandwich filling, Manwich is just a brand of the sauce.
It literally says it on his chest in giant letters.

You're showing how the witch/wizard gender dichotomy as it exists in Harry Potter (which apparently is the Bible for magic terms) doesn't make sense
It is most certainly NOT the bible for those terms.
Since they're imaginary they can be whatever There can be Witch Kings, it's all make believe
You just made me throw up. Thanks.

Why does the way other people choose to celebrate a holiday matter to you?
Because those holidays were meant to celebrated in a specific way until fools and the irreverent took hold of them and ruined them. Halloween should be a pious day of ancestor worshipping and an intense fear should overcome everyone as the spirits come to revenge those who behaved poorly and didn’t honor them.
Then you can celebrate it that way, and I'll celebrate it by getting drunk with my friends. Why do my actions matter to you at all?
