At a Loss For Words, Local Man Describes Watching His Wife Give Birth as "Lynchian"

Best day of his life came to a screeching halt

A local man experiencing one of the best days of his life stepped on a proverbial rake when he accidentally described watching his daughter be born as “Lynchian.”

Shortly after the birth of his healthy baby daughter, the man’s father-in-law put a camera in his face and asked, “So, dad, how was it?”

Having never seen a David Lynch film in his life, the new dad inexplicably and regrettably answered, “Lynchian?”

How the term “Lynchian” came into the man’s head, he was unsure. He wasn’t much of a cinephile, but apparently spends enough time on that corner of the internet to know the term.

When his wife asked what he meant by it, the man tried to course correct and mumbled some combination of “It was beautiful” and “sorry about that” before circling back to another film director reference: “It was more Hitchcockian than Lynchian… I was nervous.”
