Oh Christ, Edmond, are you still on about the Seattle thing?

OMG MONEY Uh, right, a new banknote I finished while in Russia. Meant to be Soviet Union-style, so very basic. And, also like the Soviet ruble, practically worthless outside of the country of issue. I like the design but there's not much to it that would make me think of Soviet money, my immediate ...

I dreamed last night I was at the office and the phone of one of my colleagues was broken and he was asking around how to fix it. Today I saw him at work (he's a shift worker so I don't see him often) and I asked him if he ever backs up his phone, he said "no, I never do that", I thought of telling ...

>If only I understood Polish better!

not that i understand it much better but lol, lot of obscenities.

lol, no, I don't have your number to send you an SMS in first place. It's alright we can meet next time, I quite like Berlin so I'll be back, we can pet lemurs together

hwhatting/linguoboy, thanks

innit, also, what does the t-shirt say?

The being ignored thing from the other thread... I absolutely hate it too and lately I'm being ignored so much it's driving me bonkers. I was so annoyed by one person ignoring me I bombarded him with text msgs, called him 3-4 times in the space of half an hour and then messaged him on FB, obviously ...

That would be it, I guess. Is the word easily recognisable though?

Is there an English term for these types of cakes (I assume they're considered cakes):

What would be some posh German names/indicating former nobility/higher status, excluding those with the obvious giveaway 'von'?!

Is there a general thread on all things English? I'll ask here: dulcet late Middle English doucet, from Old French doucet, diminutive of doux, from Latin dulcis ‘sweet’. The Latin form influenced the modern spelling. Sooo, people used to write and say doucet and then suddenly someone decides to thro...

Does Dutch have a cognate with German Laib?

Oh my, I can't hold my laughter

I'm surprised Sal didn't mention Dick or Mitt, OK neither was POTUS but still close enough and I'd imagine their names sound quite amusing to Britons.

Not a rant, just a stupid story: I saw a missed call today from my swimming instructor and for whatever reason my brain thought it was my shrink (their names are nothing alike, nevermind that shrinks never call you unless you seek them first), so I called her back and immediately started blabbering ...

chit (plural chits)

— A child or babe; a young, small, or insignificant person or animal.
— A pert or sassy young person, especially a young woman.

When was the last time you heard that word used in the latter sense?

Oh boy, do I feel dumb, I only had to see/click on the "transliteration" button.

Thanks a bunch!

Sup bitches!

Would anyone care to help me find the lyrics of the following song with nikud or Latinise it for me?

Is that a set expression or something? Or you can do other things for the whole day or night?

Yeah, and I too have a photo with it but I'm not posting that on the internet :) I remember the first place we went for food was on Leidseplein, someone recommended it us and indeed the food was good but when I asked what other beer they have other than draft Heineken the waitress just shrugged and ...

Amsterdam is pretty expensive. Like I don't think you're going to be able to afford anything. Including going to the toilet. And if you ask for (tap) water, Dutch people will start complaining that you, personally, are costing them out of house and home. that'll be €2, plz lol, sometimes you're soo...

In the past 200 years there were only few days when this miracle happened in Malta. Malta has experienced just seven snowfalls since 1858. Apparently no snow there, but occasional hailstorms which look like snow on the ground. This January a lot of the Greek islands including Crete saw snow, after ...

lmfao

zrak doesn't mean anything to us but mlat has different connotations, the verb mlatim means to beat violently/to thrash like when someone's in a fit of rage, it's kind of a slang/low register word, hard to explain really.

I was watching some show and there were two Texan women, one of them said "yeller" and the other (her sister) corrected her several times saying emphatically "yellow", I've heard some Southerners also say "lellow" for "yellow", just how common are these deviations?!
