@grammargirl You made me think about my second native language, German, realizing that the literal equivalent in that language is "meet a decision". Maybe I should start using that to see if it catches on!

@grammargirl Grimm's dictionary of the German Language is its equivalent to the Oxford English Dictionary. One of my favorite museums in Germany is the "Grimmwelt" in Kassel!

@cybette The California DMV (can't speak to any other states) refuses to allow "88" or "14" in personalized license plates because of Nazi connotations unless they verify that it's for a 1988 or 2014 vehicle. (Learned this by following the amusing @ca_dmv_bot).The neo-Nazis ruined the use of Norse runes as well since some of them use them so heavily in their graphics and iconography.

@grammargirl Could we say that the word "portmanteau" is itself a portmanteau word because it combines "porte" and "manteau"?

@dick_turpin I went to Iceland for a week for a conference back in 2018. We rented an airbnb and cooked many of our own meals instead of paying for a hotel and eating in expensive restaurants. Even the locally brewed beer is outrageous. We went out to a bar one night and were paying over US$10 for a pint!

@dick_turpin I see what you did there. Using the word "pedantics", which is an adjective, as a noun, to lure the pedants into revealing themselves.Wait, did I just fall into your trap? 🤔

@babe I guess I should clarify I meant 7 weeks! Seems like just yesterday I watched them being born but it was only back in June!

@raccoon @kaia Just never break up with her; apparently her last kill was her ex-boyfriend.

@raccoon @kaia I showed this story to my brother and he pointed out that numerous fans of Aubrey Plaza have been pushing for her to play this woman in a series or movie 🤣

@raccoon @kaia Makes me glad I already have my Mexican girlfriend who, while she does have a temper, is definitely not a psychopath. :D

@kaia She did 16 different voices for the South Park movie, including 9 overdubbed voices just in the song "Blame Canada!".

@kaia I remember her. "Ruby the Heartstealer". Too bad Berlusconi managed to successfully appeal his conviction for that mess.
