Scylla Rhiadra Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Love Zhaoying said: Would fit well with James Joyce's Ulysses too, due to all the crapping. Or Canterbury Tales, more crapping. Boy, people sure used to write about crapping a lot. Ulysses is certainly possible, but even more so Finnegan's Wake, which is an entire tissue of awful puns and neologisms (and in my view entirely unreadable). Chaucer does indeed use a lot of scatology, and quite explicit sexuality, but he's not guilty of that one. Edited July 9, 2022 by Scylla Rhiadra "Chancery," autocorrect?

Persephone Emerald Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 5 hours ago, SarahKB7 Koskinen said: Peeve: Being greeted with a "Hey!" Hey is considered a very loud, shouty and aggressive word in England, usually used to gain other people's attention in such circumstances as: "HEY! That's my fianceé/car/property that you're messing around/stealing, stop it!" "Hey" has been imported from the US, which in turn got it from Norwegian migrants, where "Hei" (pronounced hey), literally means hi or hello, but with the original E that was dropped in the US. "Hello" basically means "Hey". https://www.etymonline.com/word/hello https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-origin-of-hello 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they already HAVE the vendor pic with all the colors. Why they don't include it with the product has always baffled me. I don't know how many times I've had to go back and snap a pic, spending another 10L. Hairbases also when they include multiple colors. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit irritated earlier today, also, when I unpacked a pack of BOM lipstick and noticed there was not a color key image. Additionally, each numbered color had 4 'fits' labeled A, B, C and X without any explanation I could see of which fit might be targeted to which mesh head. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me which of these names: Match up to these colors? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately his name is also now associated with items of poor quality and with human refuse itself. Kind of a crappy way to be immortalized. 💩 So, Crapper invented a crapper that was crap. Well, that's because he wasn't a Scot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhouses are where people grow their cannabis plants. Most sunrooms I've seen were additions or conversions done to middle class homes. Well yeah, we do that here, too. Some of us anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeve: people who don't let the peas get mushy. Can't do a proper pea soup that way, even~! XD If you don't let them get mushy, you have to eat them in the French fashion, minus the fish n chips, and lining them up with a butter knife! It's awful! Plus, I hate having to dress up like Napoleon to eat! Edited July 9, 2022 by PheebyKatz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) 9 hours ago, LittleMe Jewell said: Leftovers from all of the religious wars that happened in Europe eons and eons ago. Peeve: how nobody ever blames human nature for wars, but instead just blame failed peace movements that ended in wars that were more about gold and land and slaves than about any kind of ideology. I hated going to church too, but the pastor never told me to go kill anyone. Another peeve, while I'm at it: people who use conflicts between countries they never cared anything about beforehand as an excuse to wear a good-guy badge while spewing hate and calling for the murder of their fellow human beings without even realizing how hypocritical they are, right in front of everyone, while complaining that their own government isn't doing more to fund one side's evil agenda over the other's. And all of this while denouncing "privilege" and so forth, and drinking Starbucks and throwing the cup out the car window when nobody is looking except some homeless veteran who goes to jail every time someone finds him trying to sleep somewhere.
