Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 21, 2003 What is up with Cena's whole "wave his hand in front of his face, make stupid facial expression, say You can't see me" bit? What does it mean? Why is it being done? The person he says it to is always RIGHT THERE and can CLEARLY see him. Does this waving his hand bit make him invisible? To everyone but me? Is it "thug language that means something that isn't even close to the actual phrase in meaning? (i.e. "word Life" "phat") Am I just not "down" with the lingo?

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 21, 2003 couldn't smell anything with "If You Smell what the Rock is Cooking" Oddly enough, I always knew what that phrase meant. What the....it's a saying!!! It means you can't see the real me because you're too busy judging me. So, according to Cena, at the "P-P-V, Taker beat Vince blind because Vince was to busy judging John Cena to see the real Cena?" Eh, why the hell not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, according to Cena, at the "P-P-V, Taker beat Vince blind because Vince was to busy judging John Cena to see the real Cena?" Eh, why the hell not. No in this case he was making a play on words and saying that Vince was beat blind...therefore he can't see him. It has a double meaning so he just used it as a figure of speech this time. In other words it makes since because in Cena's rap Vince has been beaten blind...so in this case he really can't see him, but that's not what it always means.

Well, actually he really could see him, as evidenced by him, you know looking at the man. Of course, maybe there's some deep philosophical meaning or whatever your trying to imply.

It was just a rap...it wasn't supposed to be taken literally. It's like Rock claiming he's gonna stuff a title belt up someone's ass. Cena just claimed Vince got beat so bad he can't see straight.

Can he raise a flag to acknowlege when he's saying to say whatever it's supposed to mean as opposed to when he's saying it to make a rhyme? This was part of SOH's problem. He had a good catchphrase that he tried to work in at times when it didn't fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's called "context" He said Vince was beat blind and the reason he knows that is because "you can't see me" he was taking a phrase that he usually uses to mean they're not on his level and made a play on a phrase.
