Yeah, but I'm sure I've heard it called roiling. Is broiling not grilling?
― ailsa, Saturday, 11 November 2017 21:56 (six years ago) link
oh you’re right. i’ve only ever had broiled meats in chinese/taiwanese soups, and just assumed broiling was that.

I only learned last week that in the chipmunks christmas song they're howling about a HULA HOOP instead of just indiscriminate wailing. I like my ~40 year internalized version better but I can live with reality too

That teenager is teenager because thirTEEN, fourTEEN, ... eighTEEN, nineTEEN. I still cringe at my statement of "but teenager is such a vague word..when does one become a teenager? 12? 13?" in a debate.
Also fell victim to the idea that pickles were vegetables in their own right (not pickled cucumbers). Then my immediate thought was that pickling cucumbers was terrible inefficient considering how much they shrunk in the vinegar (from supermarket cucumber size to gherkins).
That Liv Tyler is Steve Tyler's daughter.

I only recently learned that Gary Lewis is the son of Jerry Lewis. TBF, the music of Gary Lewis & the Playboys is not a thing I've ever had a conversation about with anyone ever so I'm not particularly surprised that his family ties have never come up.
