(NSFW) Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx talk about a new term in the language of love. It takes a lot of balls to turn your own name into naughty slang. Then again, I guess you’d be better off beating others to the joke.

Vsauce imagines what it would be like if the Man of Steel introduced his fist to your face. The hilarious conclusion? If he used all his strength, Supes couldn’t actually punch you: you’d be obliterated even before his fist touched you.
