Yeh, the oya got smudged/erased on the gold plate.

Vger … Star Trek the movie called and wants their name back!🤪

Pre 1850s, in most cases, you needed to have lots of offspring regardless of wanting them or not… Mortality was high.

Hmmm there are quite a few of these… Ok these are UK/us mostly.

America: fanny - backside

UK: fanny - the other side (!)

America: rubber - condom

UK: rubber - something you use to erase pencil marks.

UK and others: Durex - Condom brand

Others: Durex - sticky tape

US: Suspenders - things for holding trousers up

UK: Suspenders - things for holding stockings up. Used with a suspender belt and with, or without, other underwear…

USA: Pants - leg coverings e.g. blue jeans

Most of the UK: Pants - things you wear under your blue jeans (unless ”going commando”)

Like all men, his wife tells him what to do … She is his handler after all and has been since he brought her to the US of A.

That’s not how loans work for little people… It totally is how loans work for oligarchs because the money they get from the loan provider is tax free so no income tax.

If it is Boeing, I ain’t going!

You get ads with dogs cos the ad server knows you have dogs… I bet you regret that one time you didn’t “reject all” cookies… Welcome to targeted advertising.

Forced to upload a picture is because you chose the wrong post type.

I got caught by that when I started using Voyager.

But only if its the woman who wants the divorce… And then only if the man’s income is above $1000000 otherwise they are poor and therefore should be in a labour camp/work for Amazon anyway. If they are same sex they go to the camp anyway.

Not sure if /s is appropriate cos I am a “right ponder” and don’t know how close to the truth I am…

Excellent! Can’t wait to find out what one looks like…

No… Wait… :)

Not my problem… Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

it’s because you guys speak British, not English!

Fighting talk, sirrah! Fighting talk… But yes, I guess.

British English has been described as three languages dressed up in a trenchcoat that go around mugging other languages in dark alleys and stealing the best bits…

I would ask “why did you left ponders choose to change the pronunciation to zee?” - though given many USAian pronunciations are, apparently, closer to Elizabethan English than the current UK sounds I wouldn’t like to guess which came first the zed or the zee…

I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female.

Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.

Yeh cheese as cheeze is an odd one - especially considering the z is “zed” not “zee”… I guess cheese is where the idea of “zee” came from?

You seem like the sort of person that would pronounce the word often with a hard T,

Not at all. Used to make fun of people who did.

yet still pronounce the letter A as if it was an O.

No - there are two sounds for A, bath (short, as in cat) for tub of usually hot water and Bath (long, as in car) for the city famous for its hot water. Never heard it like O - no, wait… RP has an O sounding A doesn’t it? Lloyd Grossman was famous for his mangling of vowel sounds.

ETA that distinction for the A sound is probably familial rather than regional; grew up with Geordie mam and Home counties dad.

I’m not sure where you’re from, but the th is indeed silent in my area regarding the word ‘clothes’. I’ve never heard it pronounced any different than ‘close’.

I’m not sure where you’re from, the th in is always pronounced in my area regarding the word ‘clothes’. I’ve never heard it pronounced the same as ‘close’

I will say that people got called out for pronouncing it the same as the spice ‘cloves’.

FWIW My area = rural southern UK.

Works for me if I click the thumbnail from ‘all’; fails if I go to the post.

Not just redgifs (iirc) either so probably a video thing rather than an NSFW related thing.

Arguments against… Wheelbarrows of troubles from Putin…
