JoelJoel posted:It was a failed attempt at a mitch reference. Late, but I appreciated it.  MitchAnyway, a discovery I made last night: if you like the singularly wonderful combination of chocolate and orange flavors together, which I do, try this. Pour yourself some OJ and mix in chocolate syrup, like making chocolate milk but with juice instead of milk. I know it sounds gross and I'll admit it's not too appetizing to look at, but holy hell is it good.

The opposite of "inept" isn't "ept", which is obviously not a word... but it is, in fact, adept.

The "ZIP" in "ZIP Code" is an acronym that stands for Zone Improvement Plan and has only been around since 1963. Not sure why I never looked that up before, or why I didn't know the style guide is "ZIP Code" since I deal with address data all day at work.

Weird, I always assumed the P was for Post in some way. In most places I can think of it's some variation of "postal code/number".

Plus, it's a Dutch name. Germans (also everyone else) are unable to properly pronounce the sch sound.

Frank mentions it in an episode of Always Sunny when he's conning a bunch of tourists telling them it's where all the bodies in Philly winds up. He pronounces it kind of like skull-kill so I always thought it was a made up name. I'm not American but am dumb tbf.
