If it wasn't clear enough, I was saying your joke didn't land. Hence - don't quit your day job for a career in comedy. Which is indeed proper usage of the phrase. Sorry if you were offended - it was intended to be repartee.

For what it's worth, while I didn't like your comments, none of them deserved to be flagged - which this site has an annoying obsession with using to censor anyone's opinion who comes across with bite or even just contrarian, which has its place on the internet despite what the mods here believe.
