Depending on how things go, you can land very quickly indeed.

Honestly this is bullshit. Some of the most ridiculous names I know are from old money families here in the South.

Let’s be real, anybody who would make that image doesn’t have anything better to be doing anyway.

I’m not an expert, but I don’t think monkeys would have been considered clean in this context though. I’m pretty sure they’re not kosher.

And the current interceptor doctrine is to fire two interceptors at each incoming missile, so we’re shooting $8 million at every $50k Iranian missile. We’re weeks at best from running out, and Iran makes more missiles in a month than we make interceptors in a year. That’s not even considering things like the Shahed drones which the Pentagon has already said we don’t have a good answer for.

Lol I didn’t have to find them, my grandad was always showing us tapes of Red Skelton, and the Carol Burnett show, and Victor Borge. He loved that stuff.

Only the real ones know about Freddie the Freeloader and Clem Kadiddlehopper

They’re almost certainly just using one translation - probably KJV since I don’t find any instances of “does” in that version, they would all be “doth” or “hast” most likely. I guess it’s just a meme so it doesn’t really matter if you half-ass it, but it’s definitely not the best way of doing it.

“Sex” is also definitely in the NIV and some other translations.

I have IBS and capsaicin has never been a trigger for me. I can eat spicy food all day and be fine, but if I even so much as look at a piece of romaine I’ll be on the toilet all evening.

I think this is what’s known in some places as “sarcasm”.

Very Worm coded

I think I’m too American to get this.

So, disclaimer here that I’m not a linguist, I just enjoy learning about linguistics.

OED doesn’t have a Norman ancestor for English wasp - it goes back through Old English (wæfs, wæps, wæsp) to Saxon and Middle German/Dutch all the way back to pre-Germanic.

My guess here was that there’s a common Proto-Indo-European ancestor and Wiktionary, FWIW, agrees - they provide a reconstructed P.I.E word: *wóbʰseh₂ (“wasp”)

ETA: here’s the link to the OED online’s etymology page and a screenshot of it if you don’t have access through your library.

That’s…my point?

It’s called “metathesis”. We did it over hundreds of years with ‘bird’ which was originally ‘brid’ or ‘bridd’, and ‘wasp’ which was originally ‘waps’, apparently.

especially after getting that pawjob…

This isn’t even close to being true. 83% of black voters backed Harris in 2024, with 15% voting for Trump. That’s notable because it’s a significant decrease from Biden receiving 92% of the black vote, but whites are the only major racial group of which the majority voted for Trump in 2024.

If only this picture had more jpeg artifacts. I can almost read the text on this one… 😅

It’s NYT Pitchbot. They’re a pretty well known satire account
