The "chicken tendies" people love to refer to online now are just regular chicken strips.

spookykid posted:also known as chicken tenderloin strips The tenderloin cut in beef is the tenderest part of the hindquarters (the loins) but in chickens it's the tender strip behind the breast meat. It's still called a tenderloin cut even though it's not from the chicken's loins

I buy chicken tenderloins every now and then but only recently looked up what they were called in English. Here, they have the same name sirloin (sirloin meaning above the loin), though the Spanish word literally means "the little bit beneath the back"

This kind of secondhand naming is also why "chicken roughies" are actually cut from the smoothest part of the chicken, also known as the sharklet, just under the chicken's arms. This cut is named "sharklet" after beef sharkies due to their similar texture, but those are actually located just behind the cow's false eyes. Wild, I know

A chicken tender is a type of chicken strip. It's only a tendies if made with the tenderloin cut. If made with regular old breast meat then it's just a strip. There is a lot of mislabelling.

Pretty cool tho, to be able to have a chicken tendie revelation repeatedly. Just constantly forgetting what a tendie is then rediscovering the knowledge, what a beautiful cycle.

I had a thought today while helping someone move: are landings in stairwells called that because they're at the end of a flight? I will do no research on this and assume I'm a genius.

They are not. I also will not research this, but I’m saying that it comes from nautical terminology.

It's doubtful that Dorothy Parker wrote the poem that goes "After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under the host". Apparently there are a million things misattributed to her.

The UK and US have opposite rules for a quotation that ends a sentence. US puts a full stop within the quotation marks and UK puts it after. Joe said “meet me in the square at noon.” versus Joe said ‘meet me in the square at noon’.

Oh poo poo I accidentally learned the UK way apparently. My logic was always "the punctuation isn't part of the quote.".

I guess I never consciously noticed that the UK did it differently. I'm gonna have to side with them on this one, I've been doing it that way in casual writing for ages because it looks better to me.

MariusLecter posted:Torque and fork have etymological roots for obvious reasons. If you're saying that they have the same root, that's entirely wrong. Fork comes from the Latin furca, which means pitchfork, whereas torque comes from the Latin verb torquere, which means "to twist".

they way it was taught to me was that quotation marks go outside of any other punctuation because they are "least important," so now I look down my nose at quotation marks. if they were anthropomorphized I would make them sit at the kids' table
