This is why I love xkcd, equal parts cozy and hyper-pedantic. Yes, spoons of different sizes don’t nest the way the metaphor implies, but who cares? “Big spoon” is emotional shorthand, not a lesson in cutlery mechanics.

If you’re the person who insists every metaphor must be physically accurate, congratulations, you are the annoying spoon. Let the rest of us be the sleepy spoon and enjoy the cuddle without a lecture about spoon radii.
