I can't believe there are still people that have yet to find out pronounciation derails are even more boring than regional banking differences derails or wet shaving fanatics invasions.

fullroundaction posted:Today I learned that Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday are the same thing. It depends on what tradition you follow, apparently some people count Maundy Thursday (the Thurs before Easter, the commemoration of the Last Supper) as the end, and some people count Holy Saturday (day before Easter) as the end. I usually resume drinking and other such vices on Easter, which seems a little counter-intuitive so I might start doing the Thursday thing so it's less weird returning to sin on a really family-focused holiday.

Nothing tasted as perfect as the perfectly creamy chocolate from the easter basket after the Lent of not eating it. I'm surprised how long it took me to realize Lent is more than 40 days, also. When I was a kid I guess I just didn't care, or maybe I was measuring it in weeks rather than days up until like right before and never noticed a discrepancy.

In the Bon Jovi song It's My Life, he sings "like Frankie said, I did it my way," meaning Frank Sinatra and his hit song. He does not sing "like Franklin said..." for noted New Jersey rebel Benjamin Franklin. Jovi isn't a history buff after all, I guess.

Until literally just now I thought "Mom's Spaghetti" was a real Eminem song that became a meme because it's memorably odd. I didn't know that it was a parody edit of Lose Yourself, or even intended to be funny.

Jersey is 4 states. South = Philly, North = New York, Shore = Trashfire, Central = no one cares but there's a bunch of colleges and minor league sports teams and transit. Thing I just figured out today: "Git" as in the Brit insult is pronounced with a hard G. For some reason (not going to justify my thinking) I've always pronounced it "Jit" in my head because I've only ever seen it in text, as far as I know.

I use the hard 'g' because I'm usually referring to the Graphics Interchange Format rather than the Giraffes Interchange Format.

True, and on the weekends I like to go skuh'bah diving Something I learned in the language thread, "eleven" and "twelve" have their roots in literally meaning one and two left over (after reaching ten) which is kind of neat

Took me forever to learn that in Eddie Money's Song, " Take Me Home Tonight," he was saying: "[Eddie] Just like Ronnie says....[Ronnie] Be my little baby." It was Ronnie Specter singing a line from her 60's hit, "Be My Baby." It's not just someone singing it, it's her.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVj61ZX_8Cs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g_FD_sYazk

The Relentless posted:Took me forever to learn that in Eddie Money's Song, " Take Me Home Tonight," he was saying: "[Eddie] Just like Ronnie says....[Ronnie] Be my little baby." "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossums, as interpreted by me up until a year ago when the song became significantly less interesting: "Tell me d'ya think it'd be alright If I could just crash here tonight? You can see I'm no sheep or dragon Anyway I got nowhere to go."
