DocAtCDII love the phrase "bear with me"
because it either means "be patient"
or
"the zoo heist was a success"

CodieneC@DocAtCDI Have you considered what could happen if someone used the wrong spelling of bear in the phrase :p
Advanced Persistent Teapot@DocAtCDI or if you're not so hot at spelling - I see this one spelled wrong a lot - "let's get naked together"
joachim@http_error_418 @DocAtCDI 'Come to the party at the nudist colony'.
Jenny!@DocAtCDI can't talk, the bear is listening
โ Fish Id Wardrobe@DocAtCDI follow my ship
Joel VanderWerf@fishidwardrobe @DocAtCDI Reading the original post, it occurred to me (for the first time) that it could mean "go in the direction I'm going", but I'm glad someone else got it first!
ZoLo ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐ณ๐ด๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธโพ๏ธ@DocAtCDI when I worked in call centres we were told not to use the phrase because "bear with me doesn't mean anything, because bear is an animal." Apparently the person who wrote the policy was unaware of homonyms, and asking the trainer "have you never heard the phrase 'it's too much to bear', before?" is a good way to get yourself in trouble.

If you bring the bear to a bar, make sure to keep the conversation going.

Cassandrich@DocAtCDI Or a woman lost in the woods made the right choice.

2ยข@DocAtCDI it also meant join the fun on Gamestop.
a fish named dog โก๏ธโพ๏ธ@DocAtCDI "Bear with me, I don't have the bear with me."
The Penguin of Evil@DocAtCDI It's up there in animal phrases with "I have enclosed your sheep", which either means the fencing is done or you have one very large angry parcel to deal with
@etchedpixels @DocAtCDI
As long as you only do that one in twenty times, you will still get 95% positive feedback. There was an xkcd on this but it was bobcats.

Steven Wilmot@etchedpixels @DocAtCDI On a similar tune, I've accidentally sent in a timesheep to a client on a couple of occasions... One of those "unfortunate typos that might have actually improved the meaning"
Be_Outside@DocAtCDI
Could also be a pick-up line.

hawkeโจ@DocAtCDI same with "bear in mind"
bitbonk@DocAtCDI It could also mean a desperate cry for help.
Gerva@DocAtCDI also "join my piracy venture"
Georgiana Brummell
RedstoneLP2@DocAtCDI
or "i picked a bad camping spot"

Mike McCaffrey 
@DocAtCDI Or "you'd better be patient unless you want to deal with my bear."
Marcelo Magallon@DocAtCDI as a non-native English speaker, there's something about this idiom that I don't like to the point of avoiding it. Perhaps it's the mental picture that pops in my head of a _bear with me_.

Michael Sumner@DocAtCDI and its homophonic ambiguity
rayka@DocAtCDI What about "the right to arm bears" ๐
Code of Amor ๐@DocAtCDI the fuzzy butt is in the passenger seat! Repeat: fuzzy butt in passenger seat!
Toni Widmo@DocAtCDI It could also mean "I found your missing soft toy" or "I pulled at the gay bar."
