Okay well me being wrong in some limited situations doesn't change my overall point.

Māori for bird is "manu" and include bats -

----
1. (noun) bird - any winged creature including bats, cicadas, butterflies, etc.

Ki te kore he kai, kua riro mā tētahi o ngā tohunga e karakia, kua rere mai he kai ki runga ki te waka. He ika, he manu me ētahi atu tūmomo kai mata (HP 1991:9). / If there was no food, one of the tohunga would say a ritual chant and food would fly onto the vessel - fish, birds and other types of raw food.
----

So, a bat is a bird.

Any fruit was an apple, any animal was a deer, and any crop you get out of the ground was corn.

Beat me to it. Also, it definitely doesn't apply to most things but there is something to comparing new things to apples. Potatoes in Dutch are aardappels aka "Earth [Ground] Apples".

In latin the word for evil and apple are the same (malus) and an apple was any fruit so, the whole story about the tree and adam and eve is pretty confusing.

I think there are also similar complications in ancient Hebrew. Like, pretty sure serpent isn't necessarily a snake.

French for potato is pomme de terre, which also translates to ground apple. Of course, English has pineapple, but at least that's a fruit.

I think the bible's slow voyage to English via Hebrew, ancient Greek, and Latin has seen a load of symbolism shorn from the text. The name of st Peter for example, has no second meaning in English. Jump across into the romance languages and it also means rock, so "I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church" has a lot more going on.

Pet theory is that this loss of symbolism means sects of Christianity built on later translations of the bible tend to adopt more factual interpretations of the text. "No- the world was built in exactly seven days and here is a bill of quants, method statement and construction programme we produced to show it's possible" sort of thing.

Most of the christian apostles have separate hebrew or aramaic names. Peter is Shimon, Matthew is Levi, Paul is Saul. That they took new greek and latin names is kinda lost in translations.

Those prices are for the only turkey vendor sanctioned by Donald Trump, Mike Lindell's FrankTurkey. Additional 20% gratuity is added to the check for keeping America free, through turkey mongering.

I don’t like being told what to do is a fine position except where the else part is “or death” and you decide to go with “or death” and now everyone who isn’t an rear end in a top hat has to perform heroics to keep you alive at the expense of people who legitimately couldn’t avoid it.

They hired the "We love weird al, don't we folks" guy for SNL, obviously for his Trump impression, and I was worried they'd gently caress it up but seems like they're letting be him fundamentally weird like he was on the internet. This is so much better than Baldwin's, and not just because it's way closer caricature. The material is hilarious and this guy just nails the weird egocentric stream of consciousness verbal diarrhea the big boy does when he's on a roll at a rally.
