Anthony Scaramucci Called Me to Rant About White House Leakers, Reince Priebus, and Steve Bannon

Your comment does not meet our comment civility rules. Please be civil.

Just as an FYI, it's a reference to the Discworld books, not a personal insult.

It seems like a very obscure reference, not sure why you would even bring it up.

Why do people always make references to some of the most obscure stuff on reddit... it seems like it's the only way they know how to convey an idea sometimes, and they fail miserably at actually conveying the idea. Most people have no clue what your reference is supposed to mean - as well as in so many other cases of this type of thing on reddit. It's kind of hilarious to me to see a mod try to remove your comment because the reference is so obscure and they took it as hostility.

I'm just saying that if you have an idea to convey on a worldwide forum, don't use the most fringe reference you can think of. Not trying to offend you, just tired of the amount of the most obscure references on reddit and puzzled why people seem to do it so much when 99% of people reading it have no clue what the reference means, or if it even is a reference and not a personality disorder.
