The fruit is where we got the word for the color! There was no color word for orange until the fruit started becoming known and traded around the globe. Boggled my fucking mind as a kid when I learned that.

Edit, it is early for me... As I don't know anything about the origin of aubergine... is it the same deal? And I just need to wake up and catch up, lol?

I don't get it. There is sooo much bullshit that all these fuckers do that is morally abhorrent, disgusting, and all around gross... How is everyone supposed to keep up with all of it?

I too normally think of treating doggos the best, I think that's a good human reaction to have. And that phrase was a nasty one that humans have used for quite awhile, and often does mean the opposite. Outside of use on dog abusers, I would not engage further with someone who used that phrase, and didn't mean it in a dog positive way (at our house, being treated like the animals, is best treatment!).

Bet some folks who aren't in the US, and others who are even, appreciated the reminder on what flavor of shitty she is. Even if it was from rude comments responding to you. It's just hard to keep up with all of it all the time. I'm sure there is some jackass who will show up in the news tomorrow that I won't remember what disgusting thing he did or said was, until I'm reminded.

Well, I chuckled when I reached the end of your comment. ...and then a bit more at that exchange over not getting it.

Then, woke my dog and spooked a cat with the snort-honk sound or whatever that was I just did, seeing a second one AND downvotes over folks not getting it. Even with you explaining it. Wowza.

I appreciate ya! I need these random smiles amongst the heavy news.

My dumb trick for checking, in case it helps another: T(here and there), which also helps with here and hear.

English is dumb, and after writing this out and spelling it several times, needing to correct the autocorrect... it all looks wrong now, and I am questioning my spelling abilities entirely.

I had to go looking, since I was always told the same, in re. German immigrants and blending food habits.

From Wikipedia:
Etymology and terminology The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany; however, there is no specific connection between the dish and the city.[4]

By linguistic rebracketing, the term "burger" eventually became a self-standing word that is associated with many different types of sandwiches that are similar to a hamburger, but contain different meats such as buffalo in the buffalo burger, venison, kangaroo, chicken, turkey, elk, lamb or fish such as salmon in the salmon burger, and even with meatless sandwiches as is the case of the veggie burger.[5]

The term burger can also be applied to a meat patty on its own. Since the term hamburger usually implies beef, for clarity burger may be prefixed with the type of meat or meat substitute used, as in beef burger, turkey burger, bison burger, or portobello burger. In most English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, a piece of chicken breast in a bun is a chicken burger. Americans would call this a chicken sandwich because the meat is not ground, whereas in other countries, anything with a bun is considered a burger and a sandwich uses other types of bread (sliced bread, baguette...).[6][7][8][9]

Glad it doesn't only happen to me! Lemmy juust small enough still that I regularly find myself on some old posts, especially when checking out a "new to me" community. May your comment help the next passer-by!

Yeah, can't believe I was misgendered before even seeing the post. Damn. Time to tell my fam I'M the man of the family now.

My brain immediately saw the meme of the the blond woman "inquiring intensifies" Edit: Like this!

Omg!! This is how we get there, isnt it?! 😳

I was thinking it was Tiny Toons that introduced me to this one? Though, so many years ago... not so sure anymore, with as much as I watched all the toons back then.

You really didn't see what I was doing there, huh?
