Things you were shockingly old when you learned

'Roiled' is American for 'riled'.

I think I just learned this now. I'm not sure I've ever heard "roiled".

Americans use both roil and rile. I'd say roil if I were talking about water and rile if I were talking about making someone upset.

Oh, I have read "roil" in reference to water but mostly in older literature.

Noodles says what I was going to say. Water is roiled and people are riled.

That the Iron Age refers specifically to the period when humans began smelting iron mined from the earth, as iron had actually been in use for a long time prior but it was all meteoric iron so people basically thought it was just some magic metal gifted to them from space aliens or gods or whatever rationale they had to apply to some crazy shit that was just falling from the sky.

I warn my kids every night around nine to not rile the dog up.

I don't know if I've ever said the word "roil" out loud.

Americans use both roil and rile. I'd say roil if I were talking about water and rile if I were talking about making someone upset.

Right, though the context I saw it in was about upsetting or annoying someone... having said that what's all this stuff about roiling (or riling) water?

"Roil" is how Americans say "rile" when they're doing a British accent.

I did almost mention Dick Van Dyke earlier.

"The sea raged and roiled" is the only usage of the word "roil" that seems familiar to me.

agree, I only think of “roil”as tumultuous waters

Or like how we refer to their Roil Family.

I'm sure I've heard roiling in cooking terms when you boil water in a pan and the water's bubbling away ferociously, what I'd call a fast boil. Is that the same thing again?

rolling boil maybe

broil?

OIM RILLY ROILED UP ROIGHT NOW

flea circuses are actually a real thing that people used to do, with real fleas, not just a metaphor or a thing in cartoons

Yeah, but I'm sure I've heard it called roiling. Is broiling not grilling?

oh you’re right. i’ve only ever had broiled meats in chinese/taiwanese soups, and just assumed broiling was that.

that lots of guys apparently like to wank in front of unwilling women

NOT ONLY THAT, but his weird anti-semitic racist plot to foist squaredancing upon the country is the whole reason for square dancing in gym class. https://t.co/LBUThVJpbi pic.twitter.com/ONEMWpAEHj

that is wild

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

i still sing it as HOONA HOO because thats how it sounded to me, it’s funnier that way

That Janice Long is Keith Chegwin's sister

Can see a facial resemblance if that's true.

haha, found this out about 32 minutes ago 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.

fyi 'Beats' from People Just Do Nothing is(was) Keith Chegwin's nephew

I only worked out yesterday that 'ymmv' stands for 'your mileage may vary' rather than 'your meat, my veg'

U did not

phrase's very strange!

srsly though

i always found it a pretty natural phrase but your meat, my veg

à chacun son goat

Three Google results for "your meat my veg". My brethren

Mind you, one of them types "your mileage may vary" as well just to be sure

"your meat may vary"

I shall wear it as penance

I like "your meat, my veg". Using this from now on.

ym,mv

the word "veg" makes me Irrationally Angry except in the context of "to veg out", makes me think of how much I loathe Jamie Oliver

but hey, ymmv

yvmv

Varymite girl

your marmite, my vegemite

Give to me your leather, take from me my lace

MY veg not yours
