sucks to be right
The classic country song "Wolverton Mountain" is about an actual guy called Clifton Clowers who lived on Woolverton Mountain (they changed the spelling in the song) with his family. He was the songwriter's uncle and the song was written as a family joke which went on to become a hit. Clifton was an educated guy who spoke a few classical languages, played multiple musical instruments and was a deacon in his local church but the song makes him out to be a crazy bloodthirsty mountain recluse. :v:

The song is about someone who has fallen in love with Clifton Clowers' daughter and it never mentions her name and mostly talks about Clifton (which always struck me as a bit weird) but in real life he actually had two daughters, Burlene and Virginia.

We have a collective noun for every kind of relative except aunts and uncles. "I am going to visit my parents/grandparents/children/cousins" but then you are just stuck saying "I'm visiting my aunt and Uncle" or just omitting one of them from the sentence.

E: also nieces and nephews

Folks created the word "niblings" to cover the latter, it sounds kinda dumb but I guess it gets the job done.

Dutch doesn't have a word for siblings, which is annoying.

In my line of work they seem to have settled on 'brusjes' (a portmanteau of 'broertjes' and 'zusjes' meaning brothers and sisters with a diminutive) which works but took me a second when I came across it.

Also Dutch doesn't differentiate between nieces/nephews and cousins, which led to a hilarious misunderstanding when I befriended some English kids on holiday when I was like 16 and my sister talked about her cousing (saying niece) and they thought I was a teen dad lol.

Tupu, Hupu, and Lupu were Aku's "brother'sboys" for decades until they changed it to "relativeboys" because it would not do to just start calling them "sister'sboys" all of a sudden but because of the Internet people kept writing in and bitching about it.

I was going to say that nibling isn't great for adult nieces and nephews since "-ling" is a diminutive suffix.

But then I realized that people use sibling all the time for adults. And it's most likely where the idea for nibling came from.

It took me a while to start using nibling because it sounds so silly but it's a very useful word for efficiency and inclusivity.

How about grandsiblings for your parents' siblings?

Wait, are you putting them on dry before rinsing your hair? Because if so there's a second thing you are figuring out today

They sell dry conditioner you can apply to hair that is not wet but I don't think the physics are there for them to do much.

Had to be exact trying to Google that because dry hair and dry hair are two different things.

There is actually a burgeoning trend of people doing what they call conwashing, only using conditioner and skipping the shampoo

I tried it and it was great for about two or three months, but it got to the point where there was just too much natural (but clean) oil, so I said gently caress it and stripped it all out with some good ol' fashioned sulfates

Thinking about trying out dry shampoo for a while, dunno

A detergent doesn't do anything except bind to oils and water to pull them off your skin/hair. If you have enough oil and dirt building up in your hair that you need to chemically remove them daily you should probably move out of the long john silvers

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
The shorter your hair is, the more often you need to shampoo it. Your sebaceous glands produce the same amount of oil no matter how long your hair is, and that oil coats your hair. The more hair you have, the longer it takes for the oil to build up and coat all of it. There's also obviously some variation based on genetics or whatever.

I have very short hair and I shampoo every single day or else my hair gets oily and clumpy.

And if you have long hair, you have the opposite problem of not enough oil, which is what conditioner is for.

Just wash your hair, and rear end too, since apparently that's not common sense. You are not the one person on the planet whose sweat, oil, and buildup of bacteria and dead skin cells doesn't stink. You are not the one person whose body doesn't produce this buildup and thus doesn't require a chemical to remove it.

Also dry shampoo doesn't clean your hair, it's meant as a very temporary means of soaking up excess oil and just adds to the buildup if you don't wash it. Can also lead to scalp infections. Often looks like clumpy dandruff after a few hours.
