    When you ask a british guy how tall he is, but he starts listing the number of OnlyFans accounts he follows

          Sorry, I’m really not getting it. I’d love to play in the space but I’m just not.

          Pretty sure Brits do height in cm. But even if they did do feet and inches, then I’d have to understand it as “you” (the person miscontruing their statement) counting OnlyFans account subscriptions by the number of feet they have? Which is a very telling misunderstanding to have.

          There has to be something I’m missing.

            A person in the U.S. might say their height is 6’5" (six feet, five inches.) Put into centimeters, that’s a little over 195.

            The joke is that the number is really high, and without context (like by specifying “195 cm”) it could represent a variety of things. OP chose to make it represent “OnlyFans accounts to follow.”

            If there is any additional point to specifying it as “OnlyFans,” I didn’t pick up on it. Anyway, I hope this helps the rest of that comment make a little more sense.

              Well i just thought OnlyFans were about feet pictures, so when someone says I’m 6 foot 5, that could (with some effort) be misconstrued as how many feet pics seen
