The human embodiment of Internet Explorer, everyone.

"Seriously guys, I'm a doctor! I have a PhD!"

"Sure buddy, what was your dissertation about again?"

"Uh... the beneficial effects of marine mammal urine on--"

"Whale piss! Enjoy your pee-hD, weirdo."

It's like the wholesome counterpart to "boob." Both kinda sound like what they describe, but "bosom" feels classy.

The general meaning is the appearance of truth or validity.

But I usually use it to describe something that is "believable" even if the underlying premise is not. So a fantasy story that pays close attention to detail and is highly consistent might be described as having versimilitude. On the other hand, a story where the characters make out-of-character choices might be lacking versimilitude, even if there are no overtly "fictional" elements to the story.

That's usually how I've heard it used, not sure if it's the "main" usage though.

Ever since reading it in my kids' Bluey book: bumblenuts (context is, "g'day, bumblenuts!" following an introduction)

Doubtful. Without Linux running the majority of the internet, I doubt the desktop scene would look the same as it does today.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life puts us in a place where we need our family, even if they're awful.

That all sucks. To answer your question: decide whether you really have to deal with them forever. In this case, unless I'm missing something significant, it sounds like you could cut your brother and his family out of your life. It sounds like their contributions are exclusively negative, and after going behind you and your mother's backs with the land thing, you'd be perfectly justified to cut them out.

In short: don't deal with them.
