Thanks! That makes sense-ish, but good to know real origin.
Grilled sausage, roasted asparagus and baked sweet potatoes.
Figurative language always takes some imagination. Here are some idioms that make me go “huh?”
“Break a leg” for good luck. I guess it is superstition to say the worst-case scenario out loud to ward off it actually happening.
“Bone to pick” for contesting a detail about something.
“Right as rain” - why is rain so right?
I would not trust a cake made by a stranger who stole my stuff.

Stagman, a truly conflicted individual.
Love the sound of that one!
Lol, there’s an actual explanation. Figures, but hey why let actuality get in the way of yet another tedious discussion about “wokeism”.
Those are so cool!
Not me, not one second. I don’t understand the media obsession with this case. Every day in the news I read about domestic atrocities. Why is this one getting OJ Simpson level coverage?
Happy 88th 🔴👓🔴
Side question: Is that her at a coat check in that prof?
The Freshman Hop!
Curt seeing his dream girl for the first time.
All the driving on the Strip scenes.
Toad trying to score liquor, for certain.
Everyone heading out of town at dawn to watch Milner race Falfa.
The Howells had more luxury items and didn’t work. They sat in lounge chairs all day sipping tropical punch. Yes, they were the oligarchs.
The Professor had his own private hut to do his research. Giving the most educated man the biggest hut is more a meritocracy.
Gilligan obeyed the Skipper. They were never equal comrades. Dictatorship.
I thought it was a quite good film too. I liked that it stayed on task - telling the minute to minute, hour to hour operations of the ship and its escort mission. No side stories. Limited character development/human drama. That seems true to form since these crews would not have time to get to know each other. They were assigned their post and their mission. Once the story went to sea, it was non stop naval battle action. Most of the dialogue is just commands.
Visually it was a CGI adventure. It looked like the PS5 version of the game Battleship if there even is one. I got into it and it felt believable in the moment.

Ep 3 was the only good episode. The other episodes are so draggy and the dialogue is flat. Then a bunch of mad max extras or zombies crash around for awhile, someone cool dies and we are back to the mumbling, stilted dialogue of Joel and Elli.
Dolores Claiborne (1995)
Nomadland (2020)
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (2017)
The Reader (2008)
Jane Eyre (take your pick)
Women also, work! And have worked in dangerous jobs too. The Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire is one example. There was a good movie made about that tragedy. It starred Stephanie Zimbalist.
Anyway, why all the bad blood on a thread honoring brave, hard workers?
I read the Mohawk Skywalkers not fearing heights was just a myth. They feared heights but needed a paycheck just like everyone else.
