I just realised last night that Salt-N-Pepa are not TLC. Not even remotely similar, other than both comprising American black ladies.

I'm not too familiar with the bands, but they must have a lot more members than I'd imagine.

Ah...I guess I was attempting to be too clever. I interpreted it as both comprising (all) American black ladies, so as to suggest that the entire black American female population is required to make up the two bands. But on closer inspection, that's really not even a particularly valid take on the sentence.

It becomes more obvious if you litter the lyrics with quotation marks.

Head to the YMCA so you can have a "shower," and get a "good meal."

But bees don't travel in straight lines. They bumble around.

I just learned that all uses of the word "check" (including "cheque") in the English language are derived from the chess term of checking your opponent's king, and the word "check" itself is simply derived from the word "chess." Mind blown.

Which itself comes from the Persian "Shah," after a long sojourn through arabic, latin and old french. It's one of my favorite etymologies.

They have several really. Probably the best is that venereal disease (usually syphilis) can be cured by having sex with a virginal girl. And that girl could of course be sold over and over again so this actually compounds the problem

? That's not really an idea I immediately associate with Victorian England...

Did you google this before posting?

Doesn't seem wrong?

Why would that be racist? Literally never heard anything called a spade other than the digging tool / card suit.

Because "spade" is a semi-obscure slur for a black person.

Jerry Cotton posted:

Subumbra literally translates to "under shadow."

Yes, that's so. I'm not sure if you're saying it to argue with me or to agree, though.

It was for the benefit of goons who did not get a proper municipal education.

Ah, fair enough. Though in this case, a classical education might be more appropriate.

I just wanted to contrast 'municipal' with some other '-al.' A feeble attempt at reparte�. :eng99:

Weird. If I search for "the quick brown fox j," it mostly has "jumped" - but if I leave off the "the," it mostly has "jumps."

The word “Paradox” in the title of a sci-fi flick pretty much tells me it will involve some kind of time shenanigans.

I thought it indicated a medical theme.

If I remember correctly time does slow down relative to earth in orbit, so anyone up in the ISS is aging ever so slightly slower.

That's because of their speed relative to us. There's two effects going on with the ISS - they're further from the earth, which makes time pass slightly faster, and they're whirling about at five miles a second, which makes time pass slower, and the second effect is more powerful.

I hate it when anglos pronounce a French word ending in -et as -ay instead of like adults.

"Adults" doesn't even end in -et. :confused:

Can we just say that anything posted on Tumblr is inherently false?

We can until someone posts that on tumblr.
