Interestingly, testicle is derived from latin "little witness", and avocado in many languages is similar/identical to Avocat/Advokat/etc, which means lawyer. You could probably have a whole courtroom full of testes if you try hard enough.

Yes, to go back to French, avocat means both lawyer and avocado.

When you consider the amount of garbage people make, that's probably something to marvel at.

You don't have to pick a bar of soap up to use it when washing your hands. You can wet your hands, and just rub your fingers on it to pick up enough soap to lather your hands.

Unless you've chosen to remove it, all humans come equipped with a loofa.

8 mile isn't just his rap album name its a road outside town that measures how many miles away the central hub downtown is when driving/taking the bus to/from Detroit on highway 1.

It's also the road that demarks the boundary between where white folks live and black folks live. Not in a vague sense either, if you look up Detroit on the "racial dot map" it's incredibly obvious where 8 Mile Road is, because one side of the street is all white, the other side is all black.

People should just listen to "The history of English" podcast if that stuff fascinates them. There's a lot of times where the same word enters English twice via Germanic languages and then again through French, and you can tell the difference because the stupid french couldn't pronounce W's so it's Guillame not William and 'guardian,' not 'warden' but we have both now.
