I can't help but feel the higher Jeph builds peoples' expectations with this storyline, the further they'll fall when he pulls the rug out from under them.
BenRG:
May has learned several important things today:
* Don't insult a prospective employer; despite what they tell you in sitcoms, it isn't considered being 'passionate' about the prospective job, it's just rude;
* If you're out to insult someone, use an insult that they understand. 'Taint' is likely AI specific and probably doesn't mean much to humans!
* Surprisingly, sex is not always the first thing on humans' minds and, in any case, walking side by side is not a shipping hint.Those last two panels though? The most I can say is that the evidence about the soccer team and models is still somewhat equivocal, so Momo shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it just as May shouldn't read too much into it. Pouring something on someone else, even if it's champaign, can be a malicious act!
I'm still not sure about Faye's expression in panel 1. She doesn't look annoyed; more confused as if she really doesn't fully understand the conversation she just had.

I have serious doubts you want to know this, but it does mean something to some people (as one of the older geezers with English only as third language, I do need that dictionary on a regular base in today's world).

Jeph is totally trolling shippers. Funny tho.

Do you not automatically check Urban Dictionary when you haven't come across something like that? It can be quite "educational" - though in this case I already knew it.
As a matter of interest, the oldest use of "taint" I have found is from a midwifery book published in 1975:
--- Quote ---"taint" for perineum -- because "'taint what's above and 'taint what's below"
--- End quote ---

UPDATE: Here it is from 1955:
