@EuriPinhollow that's what I was trying to explain, the phrase "it's cure it" is commonly used in dry humor. You just missed it from lacking the cultural background

I can't remember the word for what they are called, but English, and particularly American English has a ton of them

I think I was thinking of colloquialism, though I suppose that doesn't quite fit, but it's a similar kind of thing

it has an implied meaning beyond the simple meaning of the words

due to cultural context

A "bug" in the context that it was originally used is by @Shyju is a minor illness. People often refer to cases of influenza that are not life threatening and leave no long term consequences to one's health as a "bug". "I would love to attend your function tonight, but I have the flu bug and would hate to give it to everyone else so I'll have to stay home instead."

In general people want to rid themselves of the "bug" when they are ill.

When people have a "bug" to buy a product that will cost them lots of money, the way to "cure" the bug is to take a more realistic look at the product in question so that they can realize that the product is not the miraculous solution to every problem they've ever had, even if it has been marketed as such.

@scottbb Punchline to what?

@Shyju On a more serious note, exactly what do you hope the Xt2 can do to improve the images you have been getting with your D610?

@MichaelClark sorry. I was making a dry joke about you having to explain your dry joke... or maybe a joke about explaining a joke... or... eh, I forgot. I guess I'm cured of it. =)
