Fun fact: a friend linked the trailer the other day. I thought “wow, the acting / directing on this actor playing an absolute fucking nutter is impeccable”. I hadn’t heard of the film before, so I looked out up. Saw it was about Elizabeth Holmes whose name i remembered but didn’t know about. Saw there was a picture of her, thought, “wow, the actress they got to play her is an absolute dead ringer… wait a minute…”
What the absolute fuck?! Did no-one speaking to her realise that she was an absolute fruitcake?
There is a TV series called The Dropout where Amanda Seyfried plays Elizabeth Holmes and won an award for it. I haven’t seen it yet but the trailers don’t seem to be able to capture how crazy she seems (like Seyfried seems to be the crazy we’re used to seeing; Holmes has a different type of unsettlingness) … not taking away from Seyfried but Jennifer Lawrence declined or backed out playing Holmes in a movie saying Seyfried’s role was enough for this portrayal.
Also, Holmes was saying how none of them were actually playing “her” they were playing an invention she made up …
I got as far as discovering that nut as in crazy is the earliest and nutter and nut case are derived from it, and nut was (and still is) slang for head, plus the terms nuts and nutty also meant crazy, so it’s a fairly obvious step for nut to pick up that definition, too.

Thank you, pesce be with you my friend

Tf are you saying?
lol a fruit cake and a nutter used to mean used to mean something totally different.
Used to? The hell do they mean now?! 🤨
Whatever OP posted lol
I re-read my comment and it makes sense to me. Have you seen the trailer in question?
What is a nutter? What is a fruitcake? what’s a dead ringer?
Dead ringer is an exact look a like. A clone.
Nutter and fruitcake are terms for someone crazy.
Wait, to nut is to wank but a nutter isn’t a wanker?
Nutter, nut and nutcase have been used to refer to crazy people for a lot longer than nut has been used to refer to wanking
I am wondering the etymogy of the slang usage now. What about nuts did people look at an go “yeah that can apply to people who are mentally unwell?”
Was it the fact a walnut kinda resembles a brain? 🤔

Ah so that’s why that items called that in tf2. Or is it the other way around ? :D
They’re american slang?
Not just American (I’m not American).
Dead ringer isn’t really slang, it’s just an idiom. I’m curious what variety of English you speak?
The non-native english. Learnt something today.
I’m Canadian and I understood
american/uk
So I figured out what film this is referencing but what does this caption have to do with… Anything?
the caption in the original post? It has nothing to do with the film, it’s just using the expressions of the two people for comic effect :)
I believe in the trailer she’s also saying, “Why would I deceive you?”
