    As many have reported, there isn't any info that Marie Antoinette actual reported this. yet to me it only shows a ditzy ideas who would not understand the scope of the subject while a rustic is ravenous. Whoever actual reported this, would have meant it with all solid intentions. some have reported it grew to become into reported whilst she grew to become into getting waiting for a social gathering. it must be that she concept there grew to become into better than sufficient cake to proportion with the hungry people outdoors and she or he grew to become into only offering them some by way of fact they have been hungry. It shows a naivete, and an entire loss of comprehension of nationwide financial and agricultural subjects. the undeniable fact that her supply could have solved surely no longer something, in spite of if it have been undemanding and nicely meant made it extremely insulting to those that assumed a queen must comprehend better. And revealing her stupidity in all hazard made them resent her dropping the rustic's fortune much extra.

    It's a way of saying you don't like what is in it. By saying its a lie, you give your dislike an air of moral authority, even if the sentence makes no sense.

    It sounds sorta like brownies with weed in them.

    Or like going to a party where you have been promised brownies with weed in them, but then they serve you brownies with no weed. Totally harsh!
