You put fokd in a bowl. You scoop it out to eat it with the bowl of a spoon. Then when you're done with the food, you dump it in another bowl.

I can't help but laugh a bit when someone says something like “I've been with my wife who's 30 for 5 years” like they've been 30 years old for 5 years straight, not aging at all.

Just came across this reddit thread.

Just learned “manslaughter” meaning

I always thought it meant “man’s laughter”, so a dude who is laughing. No, it means “homicide”.

Idk if I’m dumb or English is weird

English is indeed weird.

"head over heels".
Yeah? I usually stand so my head is higher than my heels. 🤷‍♀️

#EnglishIsWeird

"watch your ass"

How? I can't turn that far to see it.

So, apparently someone being a "man's man" means they're the epitome of masculinity.

It doesn't mean they're gay.

Let me tell you, a LOT of conversations I've had over the years make so much more sense now.

Hey word nerds? Why is it a "clock" when it's on the wall but a "watch" when it's on your wrist?

And why do "word" and "nerd" rhyme? Seems wrong, somehow.

Take the word #Cast as a verb the same spelling os both the present and the past tense.
At the same time as a Noun it’s a medical device.
