Ironically, the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really burns my biscuits.

The entire way recipes are written is trash.

"Add the flour and stir gently": How much flour? Why do I have to scroll back up to check?!

I'm a waitress and "regular coffee" means different things across regions. Some people mean just "drip, not decaf" with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean "drip, black" with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, "regular" means "2 cream 2 sugar", as in you'd be asked if you wanted your coffee "regular or black". It's the worst.

That latte lady was just crazy though... unless she meant "my regular"?

Nothing.

I'm very vocal in my judgements.

Are you sure they aren't saying "cachet"?

There's actually another kid in her class with that name, so it wouldn't have even been that weird!

Everyone needs vacuum cleaners, nobody needs leafblowers.

I really wanted to name my daughter Ceilidh, but my wife would not stand for it. I was even willing to compromise down to Ceili! She also objected to Cadence and Victory.

Somehow got her to agree to Gynhwyfar and Clothilde and Yetska, though.

You have fewer male ancestors than females ones. Think about it for a moment... there it is. Yes. Now you know.
