Boiling hot dogs is a bad way to cook them, but you can chill the water afterward for a refreshing treat to restore lost electrolytes after a hard day of playing Quidditch with your best friends.

That does look a lot quicker than using the hole punch, I'll admit, but you just don't get the fine texture that a properly confettied hot dog brings to a traditional office weenie omelette waffle

Never heard of this in my life. I love these little linguistic differences.

I missed a question on a Jeopardy test because it insisted that scary and sherry rhymed. In the northeast US, they do not.

Based on the replies to that tweet I don't think we have an exact equivalent to that mode. "As a list" would be closest I guess.

"Point form" isn't necessarily a list though. It could be an outline or summary of a larger work. Kind of like how one would write notes during a college lecture or something.

I once had steak and kidney pie because I thought it was going to be steak and kidney beans which sounded fine. Turns out it was actual kidney. Jesus loving Christ how gross is that. You already had the steak. The meat was accounted for. Why would you ruin it?

I have no idea if this is the real reason, but I'm betting it might have to do with rationing during the blitz.
