But Vera, you ask, don't you mean paleogism? No, no I don't. The meaning of overwhelm (n) has not changed from its sixteenth century use.

The increase in use of overwhelm as a noun is so strange to my ears. I keep trying to correct the sentence I'm reading because I don't understand it as a noun. Neologisms are much easier to comprehend than old-logisms.

I saw this in a small country town gallery maybe 30-ish years ago. In person the deep rage in her eyes is arresting. Cameron, famously lackadaisical with her models clearly shoved Alice into the hedge, muttered, 'Yes, goddess of plenty, what' and that was that. Then I found out who she was.

My Nanna often used honey as a sweetener rather then sugar.

Maple syrup is also good, if you wish to vegan.

Actually, the main takeaway from the ad is that if there were double you, you'd spend a lot of time dealing with your klutzy propensity for knocking things off counters, dropping things, falling into traffic.

I want those jeans for me and that is kind of getting in the way of my appreciation of this young gremlin. Who am I now?

American movies of my youth used "jeepers" a lot but I think that was more surprise than unhappy.

Five men standing in a row. Four in vibrant, flamboyant chef's costumes and one in a black outfit with bright, colourful embroidery on the chest. They are the Iron Chefs and Chairman Takeshi Kaga.

Chairman Kaga was the host of the Japanese cooking competition show Iron Chef and he often wore a fabulous embroidered jacket.

Why can't I keep my flat consistently tidy enough to have visitors drop by anytime? Thankfully all my friends know I need notice to let them in.

The comments on the OP are hilarious. "The building was trying to run into her." "She's trying to put it out with water." "I don't see anyone in that video". 😂

One of the greatest scenes in TV ever. The poster removed nsfw parts of the scene, but left in the vitally important nsfw language.
