I remember several years ago Sunsweet rebranded their prunes as dried plums to escape the prune stigma, or something. For whatever reason, it didn't stick.

Yeah this took me a few years as a kid because in my native language there is no separate word for dried plums specifically.

"Tut" "tsk" and "tch" are all regional different onomatopoeia for the same sound, which is the clicking sound made by sucking on your front teeth (the sound you might make right before saying "whatever"). When I was a bookworm kid I used to actually go around saying "tisk tisk tisk."

I would have said 'tch' was the opposite of 'tut', one being inhaled, the other exhaled. 'tut' is the noise you make when someone pushes in front of you in a queue, 'tch' is the noise you make at your cat when he's being a little bitch

The words "giorno" (Italian for "day"), "journal", and "diurnal" all come from the same source: the Latin word "diurnus", which essentially means "daily"

Did he do it or was there trickery involved? Thor once bet Útgarða-Loki that he could empty Lokis drinking horn in one draught, not knowing Útgarða-Loki was tricking him into drinking all the world's oceans. Hence the tides, from when he almost managed it.

I think this is right without looking it up (because super lazy) TTLS - is 1 1 5 5 SW is (humming it out) - 1 1 1 4 8 EDIT: Now I looked it up, because it was bugging me, since the 4th sounds like it should be a 5th. And it is. In the key of Cmaj it's actually D D D G D. So the intervals are "right", but should actually be (corrected for key) 2 2 2 5 9 Proteus Jones has a new favorite as of 03:54 on Jan 31, 2018 |
