You might enjoy this book. It’s like dictionary of random slang words from around the world, with different chapters based on categories.
Personally, I was a little disappointed because 99% of the definitions are just one sentence or sentence fragment. I was hoping to find out a little more about the origins of more of the words and maybe a little of the culture behind them.
I had a dream that my cousins and I were having a get-together at my aunt’s house, in the yard. My cousin, John, was the last to arrive and his car fell into a ditch as he was attempting to pull into my aunt’s driveway.
We all ran to his aid. He got out quickly and yelled “I’m okay!”
We all laughed. I said “Wow, this is just like old times! Everyone is here, even (my other cousin) Jane! … wait, Jane is here?”
I look at Jane, and time stops. The color fades from the background, but she is still there in full color, smiling at me. I wake up crying.
Jane (not her real name) died a couple years ago, and I have variations of this dream still.
What’s grackalackin, yo?
I’m in a very similar boat. I’ve been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70…
I’ve had no problems compressing Blu Ray MKVs into MP4s with handbrake (using MX Linux). My drive is a branded, internal one (I want to say LG or Asus.) I am at work right now, by I can look at the model number when I get home if you want. Interestingly, I have actually used it on both German Blu Rays and North American ones.
They’re free, you know? I have 6. Well, one of those is actually paid.
I’m making a joke. Americans know what a kilogram is.
Look, Americans are not familiar with kilograms. However, we do know grams… because… reasons.
Being a native from The South, “Yankee” to me means anybody from the area above the Mason Dixon line. Full disclosure, I’m not proud to be from The South. However, I do find many Yankees to be at least a little bit strange. So, the designation stands in my head.
You sure that’s hard wood? You sure it’s not laminate designed to look like hard wood?
Step one to fixing it would be actually finding out what it is.
SHHH! Don’t tell Gnome that there are options other than 100% and 200%.
Wouldn’t the whey protein look like that too, up close?
Damn, does he come with them?
He’s Canadian, so we don’t get to hear the CDC say “the risk to the public remains low” this time.
Jokes aside, I wish the teen a full and speedy recovery.
Wait wait. What would happen if a long half-strand of DNA tried to pair with another but there was one letter wrong in the middle?
OP didn’t say they were unattracted to them either. And if you saw my advice as anything other than a joke, that’s on you.
Telling someone you are attracted to them and asking them out is not sexual harassment. It might be against workplace rules, but that depends on the workplace. Having consensual sex with someone after a date is also not sexual harassment. It could be seen as “quid pro quo” if one of them is the other’s boss.
If at any point the person asks you to stop and you continue, then that is sexual harassment.
Tell him you feel shy around him because you’re attracted to him, and then ask him out on a date. Either he’ll leave you alone or you’ll get some. Win/win
Put the same text in 6 different languages (maybe: English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, and Bengali to get as many scripts as possible?) on each side of the cube. Be the Rosetta Stone of the future. Be sure to get a native speaker to look over each text before you comission it.
That should be enough work to discourage you. :)
I love that website. I’m considering getting the printed volumes to support them, even though I’ve read most of the articles already.
