As far as I know, that's a figure of speech, and has no evidence to back it up, because...it's just a figure of speech. So to prove it wrong, all I need to do is say, "No you won't."
It's a quote. A cookie to anyone who recognizes where it's from.
And, I only used it to put the idea behind it in the plainest terms possible.
But if you want to get to the nitty-gritty, as far as I'm concerned there are no bridges across the oceans, so you'd have a tough time walking in a straight line until you were back where you were.
I never said walk. Directly quoting, I've got 'go' and 'travel', so, if you want to get into the nitty-gritty...
Also, circumnavigation is entirely possible on the flat Earth model. Read the FAQ.

Wait, so, on this forum, Gravity is disputed as 'crazy magic', but Circumnavigation is just fine and dandy? Way to pick and choose.
Take a coin. Put a pencil in the middle of it, and move the pencil tip to the right. Is the pencil tip now on the left side of the coin? No. Now do the same with a ball or sphere of any sort. You'll notice how the pencil comes back to the point at which it started. Which is most definitly (and I'd like to see you dispute this) how the earth
seems to work.
So explain why, instead of everything working in the way that logic and evidence have proved it to many times over, the earth (according to those who believe in FE)
definitly works in a completely different way just because it might be a vague possibilty. Maybe.
Compasses point along the magnetic lines. If you weren't on the magnetic equator and you travelled due west on the RE you wouldn't walk in a straight line, but a curve around one of the magnetic poles.
Again, the quote wasn't meant to be perfectly literally, just to get a point across. That is, that there is plenty of physical evidence that the world is round, and if one put their mind to it, anyone could test this themselves.
