I think OP was picturing a situation like this.

I'd never really thought about until now, but do Chinese (specifically mandarin speaking) 3 year olds use Ma in place of the English speaking equivalent of "why" (repeated ad nauseum until the adult being questioned snaps!)?

It's either Nasal or Aural, and I'm actually not sure which would least worst

I actually disagree with that, if I saw a larger gentleman wearing this I'd feel proud of him for owning his thing with self-depracating humour, and think it was funny, the same as I do here.

It's Latin for "a person not welcome"

Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to try it out on my Italian friends :)

Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn't drain fully and needs a little help.

There's a rhyme about it "no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants", well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).

At the end of the article, which is already a litany of clownish buffoonery, it states that after destroying (effectively) the MRI machine in order to retrieve the rifle, he failed to retrieve a loaded magazine. So it was just left on the floor as they left.

Edit: autocorrect had changed it to clownfish

I agree, the job of politicians is to reframe Trans rights as policies that benefit everyone. If everyone at a negotiation feels like they are winning you have a successful negotiation. Who cares if the new policy disproportionately benefits one group, we are all better off because of it, and in the case of Trans rights give them the same (non-codified) protections as everyone else.

(This is if course ignoring the oft used tactic of the far right which is to do the opposite and reframe beneficial policies (eh. ACA) as something that only benefits one group by calling it a funny name (eg. Obamacare), so it's easier said than done, but that is what the democrats should be doing more of, imho)

First visit to the vet plays out like an Abbot and Costello sketch!

 

I've heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.
