Mind Steal · My Type

Talking about the type of person they'd like to date, one comedian compares relationships to a phone's glass screen protector.

The words appear when the audience laughs.

I really don't think you should say 'toss' when you're talking about your type.

Textbook僕は、好きなタイプの話で「捨てる」などと言ってはいけないと思います。「言っちゃいけない」 = 「言ってはいけない」: 「ては」 fuses into 「ちゃ」. Same squeeze as 「〜ちゃダメ」, just ending in 「いけない」 instead of 「ダメ」.

The words appear when the audience laughs.

Okay, then...

Oh, really?

For real?
