They aren't speaking French, presumably

They don't even know that is technically an adjective. As a loan term it's effectively just a two word noun

A lot of Anglos think panic is a noun, too.

I'm too used to shows like Battlestar Galactica having choral intros with languages from antiquity like Sanskrit.

I assumed The Expanse was the same.

This reminds me. For a while I assumed that the opening song to the Japanese-developed game with an anime style, "Legend of Mana", was in Japanese. But as I started to learn Japanese, I noticed that I couldn't pick out more than maybe a single word. This is.because the song was not Japanese, but Swedish .

They're correct to. What do you think the noun in "satanic panic" is?

Qu'en pense Caffarelli?
The plural of "surgeon general" is "surgeons general"

The past tense of "surgeons general" is "surgeonsed general"

Watching old music videos on YT & realized holy poo poo...Paula Abdul is in a few early Janet Jackson videos from the old MTV era. Cases in point:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujnq2v6R02U (3:25 in the movie theater)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9uizdKZAGE (at the start around 0:17)

I'm sure there's more but dang, didn't realize Paula went back that far & had those connections with other artists.

She started out right out of high school as a dance choreographer for the LA Lakers' cheerleader squad and was pretty much discovered by The Jacksons who hired her to choreograph several of their music videos and stage tours, and from there she also became Janet Jackson's choreographer and made a bunch of industry connections. When she decided to start her own solo career she had to take lessons with voice coaches because she had zero singing experience

Apparently she also choreographed the giant piano scene in Big

PYFTYJR: The actor who plays the younger version of Kurt Russell's character in the Godzilla TV series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is his real life son, Wyatt Russell.

To be fair I never paid attention to the names in the opening credits so I had no idea what the guy's name was. Also I'm dumb as hell. :downs:
