Also, in my research I've learned that some Australians use the phrase 'I'll look that up in my Funk & Wagnalls' that comes from some obscure American show from the 70s.

"up north" as in the parts of America where Scandinavian emigrants settled (Minnesota, Manitoba, etc)? Cause I mean I'm Danish, so we don't really have an "up north" unless you count Norway

Now that I write that, it reminds of this production book I read about The Office. One of the writers on that show was legit convinced he invented the phrase "that's what she said".

FFT posted:i live in hawaii and if i had actually gone out in public more than a couple of times since March i would absolutely have had no problem telling people looking obviously bored "it's okay to be bored" because basically everything is cancelled but the weather is great 99.9% of the time. Being bored is legit one of my favourite things about visiting Kauai. I can only relax once I've done everything there is to do.

Empty Sandwich posted:how the gently caress could he think that? Tbh, it surprises me that language-nerd Tolkien would have thought that. Even in literate societies, there must've be a huge number of words that were in use for generations but were never written down. Lack of evidence, etc. But especially when we're talking compound nouns, it's a very reasonable name for a supernatural being that hangs around burial mounds. Imho it would be extremely weird if it hadn't been used.

sandwiches are an anglophone invention you can have cheese and meats, and bread and even greens, but if you want to eat like we do on the continent, you may not put them together in layers like a decadent englishman or a veritable bumstead

 the act of placing stuff on a flatbread then breaking the bread and covering the filling precedes the British empire by quite a bit. See: Passover ceremonies.

If it's not made within the civil boundary of Sandwich, Kent, legally it is only considered to be a stack of various foods on bread.

There was an episode of Star Trek- The Next Generation in which Troi inherits items from her grandmother, which includes a diary, and a haunted candle, which when lit, produces a hunky man. The diary is filled with erotic tales, written by the grandmother, about her trysts with the candle-ghost. Troi reads the diary, and fucks the ghost.
