i wonder why nobody signed the farewell card for the type of ass to sue for not getting a farewell card.

What's the opposite of eating the onion? I read your comment and scoffed, wondering who could actually believe this. The I saw the "Not" in the comm name.

I'm leaning towards either, "Fabricating The Onion," or "Puking The Onion." I think the first is a more accurate assessment of the situation though.

Edit: both my suggestions aren't any good next to "Picking/Plucking The Onion."

Picking the onion

This is better than both of my suggestions. The only refinement I can suggest is,

"Plucking The Onion."

Pickling the onion

Presuming the onion

When it is in fact, an orange 😌

That's not bad, but I'm not sure it beats the other suggestion of, "Plucking the Onion."

Edit: I misremembered, they actually said "Picking the Onion."
