When Cypress Hill were exhorting people to "throw their set in the air" they were not talking about TVs.

No. E: I'm pretty sure you could wave a TV set around "like you just don't care" if you wanted to. Particularly a small one. tight aspirations has a new favorite as of 16:24 on Oct 9, 2021 |

Even a small TV in 1995 was pretty heavy on account of having all those tubes and whatnot inside. So unless it was a almost novelty sized tiny travel TV waving it in the air would require a lot of strength.

So waving it around - if you could - would be an effective display of strength to your peers right? It would be even more impressive if you could do it in a nonchalant manner too.

3D Megadoodoo posted:So what did it mean? Street gangs like the Bloods and/or the Crips are more like umbrella organisations composed of several loosely aligned local groups*. These smaller units within a each gang are called sets. Each set has their own hand signal and the members of Cypress Hill, themselves associated with the Neighborhood Family Bloods, are asking the audience to raise their hands and display these often convoluted handsignals. *The Sicilian Cosa Nostra and the Calibrian Ndrangheta actually have a very similar structure though somewhat more formalized and in the case of the Ndrangheta largely based on blood relations.

Neat. I guess this IS the thread to learn new tbjng!

Pocket Billiards posted:You can't really trust what Australians to get the names of foods right, i.e. what the Boomers with Women's Weekly cookbooks interpretation of 'Chow Mein' is. My grandma's version of Chow Mein was great. It came from somewhere in the '40s. It was a small amount of terrible beef cooked for a million years in a broth that was almost all soy sauce and cornstarch with sugar. Add way more canned bean sprouts than any normal person should even see on the shelf of a grocery store. Served over rice with extra soy sauce and chow mein noodles. Feel free to add more soy sauce throughout the eating process. If you don't go into hypernatremia after eating it, you made it wrong. You just balance it out by eating more salt right from the container. When you're ODing on salt, you have to commit. Seriously, that stuff was great. My grandma's been dead for years and I just can't make her Chow Mein right. I'm missing something. It was not Chow Mein by any means though. Very church cook book.

This is loving humiliating. I can't believe this. Eliot Page announced his transition months ago and yet still I am just realizing Linda Cardellini was a different actor, and Page was never in Dead Like Me or Freaks and Geeks. Im stupid and blind and shouldn't be allowed to watch media

I thought that the British word whinge was pronounced like whine and were different spellings of the same word. Not so! Whinging and whining cover different things apparently.

From a blog post I found:Grammarphobia posted:They come from two Old English words: “whine” from hwinan (to make a whizzing or humming sound, like an arrow in flight), and “whinge” from hwinsian (to make a sound like a dog whimpering). We probably get “whinny,” or horse talk, from the same root. Perhaps actual Brits would consider the two interchangeable nowadays.

I just realised that "leopard" probably means "lion-[something]". Googling says that 'pard' was a word for a male panther and the ancient Greeks thought that leopards were lion/panther hybrids https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pard-big-cat-mythology-leopard-lion-taxonomy

I thought 'Panthers' didn't exist as a species? Isn't it just a term for 'big-cat'? As in anything in the 'Panthera' family?
