Most of the time when people have been talking about Blazing Saddles and Chariots of Fire, I've been thinking of Ben-Hur.

If all the creatures in Hollow Knight are bugs, the fireflies they put in their lanterns must be absolutely teeny weeny!

I don't know why but it always brings me a little joy how that's everyone's go-to when bugs are mentioned.

Ommin posted:I have a weird love/hate relationship with travel, so having something to focus on helps my anxiety. Then once I'm at the destination I can settle in and relax. Agreed, I hate the act of traveling, but love to visit new places. Airports really highlight how dumb and unaware a lot of the population is. I could go on for a while about why but this isn’t the pet peeves thread.

Here is a few of the names and how they got therequote:Margaret stems from the French name Marguerite, which also happens to be the name of a type of daisy. Margaret also went Maggie > Meggy > Peggy

Margaret traces back to the Iranian word for 'pearl'

Hirayuki posted:I was reminded about more of these great/not immediately obvious nicknames while rewatching Better Call Saul: Nacho (Ignacio), Lalo (Eduardo), even Tuco (Alberto). Then there's Chuy (Jesús) and Poncho (Alfonso). So many diminutives that seem entirely disconnected from the original names--I love it. It’s pretty easy to connect Nacho and Ignacio but the rest, totally. To add, Paco is a nickname for Francisco. I don’t get it, but sure.
