I only just realized that the song "Coked up Personality" is actually "Cult of Personality"... my version is better though.

JoelJoel posted:Just figured it meant to "wing it", which is, incidentally, another expression I can't make heads or tails of. Oh, there's another one. Idioms, man. "This expression comes from the theater, where it alludes to an actor studying his part in the wings (the areas to either side of the stage) because he has been suddenly called on to replace another. First recorded in 1885, it eventually was extended to other kinds of improvisation based on unpreparedness."

The thing about venomous snakes having triangular heads, it just dawned on me that their head shape is due to them being venomous. The extra space is where their venom glands are. Correlation is causation in this case.

Captain Monkey posted:The song that goes ‘Put me in coach, I’m ready to play’ is not a random background noise song made for a baseball stadium by some lazy jackoff, it’s actually a very popular song by the guy that sang in CCR called ‘Centerfield’. I just found out it's not "Put me in cold, I'm ready to face the day". Thanks I guess.

Grumio posted:Moderna -> ModeRNA -> mRNA I looked it up because I didn't believe that this is actually what it is (because I figured they were an older company, which was wrong) and quote:Within several months, Rossi, Langer, Afeyan, and another physician-researcher at Harvard formed the firm Moderna — a new word combining modified and RNA. Close, and honestly "modern" makes more sense. I kinda hate it.

When it was released and I was like 5 years old there was a song "Whoop daddys!" which I then realized when I was a little older that no, it was "Whoop, there it is" Yesterday I learned that it's "Whoomp! (there it is)", why is there an 'm'??

You can just roll up on bison and they do seem pretty chill but the guide mentioned their heads alone weigh 300 pounds Its easy to see how they can weigh so much when you see this kind of comparison
