This could probably go in the wikipedia unusual details thread but I never knew this about Alan 'Fluff' Freeman:
He was memorably described by Graham Chapman as being "keen on motor bikes and leather and men"

IntersectionalityI'm still trying to work out if it is a term that should have universal application meaning every individual is not monolithic but multifaceted.Or if it has got the connotation of mainly applying to women/LGBTQ+ or differently abled people.
I think I first came across it on a train the trainer course 3 years ago being introduced by a gay man. Have linked it to code switching and also to Sartre's Pierre teh Waiter who I may be misremembering as being presented in terms of being thought of mainly re his job role.
Last time i had it explained wa sin terms of various levels of discrimination but still not sure if that was what the person saying it's main usage of the term. Still don't want it to be something that is picked up as an explanation/excuse for privilege.

a key factor when playing Sid Meier's Pirates! back in the day: if a quest/map/whatever is pointing you towards Bermuda, it's time to change allegiances, give up on finding your lost family members, or just marry the governor's daughter and retire.

'Everyday' and 'Not Fade Away' were never actually charting singles but, rather, were b-sides of (respectively) the 'Peggy Sue' and 'Oh Boy' singles.

Actor Bruce Glover (James Bond films, Walking Tall, dozens of tv appearances) is the father of Crispin. Obvious if you look at him though
also "Trey" is almost always a nickname meaning "the third" and there are probably very few people actually named Trey. Not only was I shockingly old when I learned this, but I think I may in fact be the only person on Earth who didn't realize this, at least based on my real life experiences trying to pitch this as some sort of trivia and being met with pitying and or baffled expressions

I think I knew Trey but not Trip. Which, as James Redd said, is a class marker, at least in the US.

woah had no idea about Trey or Trip, but makes total sense now in a "i feel dumb for not working it out by myself" waysimilarly Ichiro is Japanese for "first son"

I believe having a III in your name was a prerequisite for being a Trip/Trey kind of guy.

Y'all know I'm a Tre. I'm also a III. But trust me, we don't have any class.
I did recently mention something to a co-worker about my actual government name, and she was all like "Waaahhh? Tre's not your real name?" And I was all, Why would anyone name their kid "three" in the first place?
It's kinda like being named Junior, Jr. I dunno. You all can just keep calling me plains, if you like.
