Edited XKCD comic

Female presenting stick figure: BENLORE IS SECOND NATURE TO US
BREADMONKEY FOLLOWERS, SO IT'S
EASY TO FORGET THAT THE
AVERAGE PERSON PROBABLY ONLY
KNOWS THE PRE AND POST RUNNING
TOOTS AND THE ASKING FOR A
MILLION POUNDS.

Male presenting stick figure: AND THE SMALL GRATER, OF COURSE

Female presenting stick figure: OF COURSE.

Caption: EVEN WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO
COMPENSATE FOR IT, EXPERTS IN ANYTHING
WILDLY OVERESTIMATE THE AVERAGE
PERSON'S FAMILIARITY WITH THEIR FIELD.
