A new toy @marcoarment bought, a new toy @marcoarment swears he won't buy, many names @siracusa won't use for his app, and a snack of sharks.
whereami@atpfm @marcoarment @siracusa @caseyliss there are many accents in which the forage/storage pun doesn’t work because those words *do not rhyme*.

@caseyliss on the other hand it’s very amusing when Americans use the same vowel we use in “forage” to talk about how they have lots of thots on a subject 😝
if it was farage then we’d be using the open back unrounded vowel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_back_unrounded_vowel (the one used in “far”) instead of the rounded one, and trying not to think about Nigel whenever we went looking for berries 😬
