FFT posted:Who even says that instead of "tough titties" besides South Africans? Me, a child of two South African Jews, who was born in Australia and grew up around a lot of South African expats and their kids. Many, many times I've mistaken a South-Africanism for a universal one, an Afrikaans word for a Yiddish one, or vice versa.

Fair enough. Great news, now you can start saying "tough titties" instead! Maybe.

FFT posted:Fair enough. Great news, now you can start saying "tough titties" instead! Maybe. Ha! "Takkies" would be less crude, but also less likely to be understood. And the only other similar expression I can think of is "stiff poo poo". Also this realisation completely torpedoes my "tough Takis" Soul Calibur joke I've been brewing. E: wait, there's also "tough bits, man", which I've never heard outside of Lars saying that once in Steven Universe... Hyperlynx has a new favorite as of 10:17 on Mar 4, 2024 |

Windows has a Clipboard History if you press Windows + V, which has little subsections in Windows 11 for other things like symbols (foreign currencies and other special symbols) as well as Emojis, because of course there are. But there's a whole other section called Kaomojis, which are the weeb smilies. Some are the common ones like ^_^ and o_O, but there's tons of the super complicated ones. Finally, I can utilize Windows 11 to show my coworkers how I really feel

Didn't realize it myself, but a "duh, of course" moment: Was looking at a 1940's issue of Life magazine at work and chuckling at the ads. One boasted the powers of olive oil and palm oil in this new soap that won't ruin your hands! Palmolive

I recently had that moment where I'd wondered why a restaurant that used to be near me was called "2 Vine" when it was on Winthrop Street. Turns out the parking lot through-road used to be called Vine Street! This is somehow never mentioned in any article about the restaurant, but I found out looking at old maps. Very satisfying.
