> [@Ax\_l\_Thorne](#): > > Also, this conversation is far more interesting than the normal ganking/anti ganking trite found here Yeah this good stuff, if we get a couple more pages we might be able to bury the Lucas pile. I would probably say it’s ON a saucer rather than in, as even plates are flared up at the end and stuff is not in a plate. The exception I guess would be a saucer specifically designed to hold a tea cup, that has a separate indentation in the middle specifically for a cup, as opposed to just a small plate which normally gets called a saucer. In that case, if the indentation was currently holding it’s matched cup, then it would be IN the saucer. Edit: Although I still don’t think I would actually say in a saucer. I just get the logic behind it. ---

All saucers are specifically designed for the cups they are paired with. Like I say Ive never heard of a cup “in” a saucer, as “in” to me is inside, not on top of. Edit: just saw your edit and thats really where I am ---

See I don’t know about that, unless I have been specifically calling small plates saucers my whole life, which is possible. Is there a separate word for plates that are saucer-sized but don’t come with tea cups? Like perfect sized for a muffin kind of plate? ---

Holy crap they are called side plates! Literally every day of my entire life everyone in my family has called those saucers. I’ve been sending my kids out into the world all mis-informed about what they are eating off of. Look at this, the ‘Nerf Ganking Megathread’ actually produces some real knowledge. Nice work everyone. ---

The cup is _In_ the saucer? We might wince at such an oddity, but the English language is full of it. Prepositions of place… ‘There’s a new series on the TV’ ‘There’s a ‘film of Dust’ on the TV’ Russians say ‘In the West…’ But the word for ‘in’ is the Russian word for ‘on’. It must be Sunday… ---

Prepositions of place… English is an absolutely bonkers language and I’m so glad I didn’t have to learn it as an adult. Mad props to anyone who had to learn English as a second language. I mean “ lead rhymes with read and lead rhymes with read, but lead doesn’t rhyme with read and lead doesn’t rhyme with read”. What the hell is that? Edit: and to be on topic, nerf ganking or something. ---
