Rouzy-bouzy, wlonk and sillytonian: Language experts uncover 'lost' English words ideal for modern life | London Evening Standard
Slug-a-bed, quacksalver and wasteheart are among a list of 30 “forgotten” words from the English Language which experts say are ideal for modern life.
Language researchers at the University of York have drawn up a list of long-lost lingo which has fallen out of current use because they believe the terms are still relevant.
The list includes the unearthed word snout-fair meaning handsome, rouzy-bouzy for boisterously drunk and betrump as a verb meaning to cheat or deceive.
A slug-a-bed is someone who lazes about, a quacksalver is a person who falsely claims medical knowledge and wasteheart is a word used to express grief or pity.
Senior linguistics lecturer Dominic Watt led the team which spent three months searching for words in old books and dictionaries.
He said: “As professional linguists and historians of English we were intrigued by the challenge of developing a list of lost words that are still relevant to modern life, and that we could potentially campaign to bring back into modern day language.
“We've identified lost words that are both interesting and thought-provoking, in the hope of helping people re-engage with language of old.”
According to the BBC, the complete list of 30 words are categorised into different groups: post-truth; appearance, personality and behaviour; and emotions.
Other old terms on the list include a nickum, meaning someone who is dishonest or a cheater; wlonk, an adjective to describe someone who is proud, haughty or rich; and merry-go-sorry to describe the mix of happiness and sorrow.

Deleteislamophobe
Islamophobe (is-slahm-o-fohb) - A non-Muslim who knows more than they are supposed to know about Islam.
Islamophobia is an allegedly irrational fear of losing life or liberty to Islamic rule merely because the laws, sacred texts, and traditional practices of Islam demand the submission of culture, politics, religion and all social expression. It tends to afflict those most familiar with the religion while sparing the more gullible.
The word "Islamophobia" literally means a fear of Islam, but since Allah himself "throws terror into the hearts of disbelievers" (Quran 8:12) it is used more often in reference to the rejection of Islam.
Quran 8:12
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
I pointed out that whatever a Muslims says is based on the rule of al-Taqqiya or the Art of Lying to the Infidel, and got branded as an Islamophobe.
Any comment that reports Islam as a Nazi Terror Religion without the actual Quranically inspired verses and you will be called an Islamophobe. Once you list the verse, they stop calling you an Islamophobe.
I pointed out that 61% of Islam is about dealing with Infidels, and was called an Islamophobe, which is insane, cause I don't fear it. I like to spread the truth of what the Muslims fail to mention.

Firefighters Issue Warning After Man Gets Penis Stuck In Gym Weights
DeleteI'm not too sure at what point you sit in a gym, see the hole in the weights and think, 'yes, I'll stick my penis in that', but it happened.
The heavy weights, that are used for squats, deadlifts, bench pressing and alike are for that purpose only.
They are not for thinking the hole in the middle, which is used to slide onto the metal bars, is a substitute for another sort of hole.
However, firefighters were called to a gym in Germany when a man had placed his penis in the hole and later realised he couldn't remove it.
Firefighters in the city of Worms posted a picture of the smashed 2.5kg weight after they spent three hours slicing it to free the penis.
The man was initially taken to hospital on Friday morning with the weight still attached, but doctors were unable to free him from the metal plate.
After being sedated, firefighters used angle grinders, a saw and a hydraulic rescue device to break the weight.
It took them three, yes THREE, hours.
Writing on Facebook, the fire service said: "Please do not imitate such actions."
It's certainly an odd injury, and can be filed under the 'weird gym injuries' category.
Reddit users contributed to a thread detailing further bizarre happenings in a gym.
One wrote: "Personal trainer here. I saw a guy doing squat thrusts and had a hernia in the middle of it. You could see a big bubble popping out of his abdomen.
"He kind of looked at it in shock, pressed it back in and just said, 'stay the fuck in there'."
Another added: "I fell off a treadmill because I missed a step. Slammed my chin into the belt of the treadmill like an uppercut from hell. Just got up and walked away to leave because I was so embarrassed... jaw hurt for weeks."
In a separate, yet similar thread, one said: "Farted while deadlifting. It took me by surprise, I wrecked my form, and I ended up injuring my traps.
"I got better after a couple weeks of rest. Now I always take a dump before any heavy leg work."
Lessons learned all around.

Eight years ago the kind-hearted couple were awarded MBEs by the Queen for their services to children and families. A family member has confirmed the Joneses are currently 'safe and well'.

According to a couple, who asked not to be named, he habitually stayed up late at night and was often visited by two male companions, who appeared to be in their late teens.
The husband said: 'He seemed a really, really nice chap, we have sat there and had a drink with him, but he didn't drink alcohol.
'He was from North Africa, I think, perhaps Morocco or Algeria, but he had family from Scotland.
'I think he moved in about 14 months ago, he was very quiet, he was on his own.
Police have 'greater understanding' of how device was made
The country's top counter-terrorism officer, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, said police were gaining a 'greater understanding of the preparation of the device'.
He said: 'The high pace and rapid progress of this investigation is continuing.
'There was another arrest overnight and two men are in custody. There are now two searches continuing at addresses in Hounslow and Surrey and we are getting a greater understanding of the preparation of the device.
'There is still much more to do but this greater clarity and this progress has led JTAC - the independent body that assesses threat - to come to the judgement that an attack is no longer imminent.'
Armed police will maintain a strong presence across the country early into next week and military personnel drafted in to provide support will be phased out, Mr Rowley said.
'He had two guys there that used to be there all the time with him, he would have them there through the night and they were always playing games.
'But they never had the TV on and there wasn't a lot of furniture, his friends were about 18 or 19.'
His wife added: 'We thought he was a security guard or a prison officer because of his uniform.
'To me he just kept himself to himself, he wasn't involved with us or the neighbours, but he seemed to be up at unusual hours.
'He had pale skin and fluffy hair that was short, he didn't own the house, we don't know whether he was renting it off someone else.'
Following the arrests the Home Secretary Amber Rudd has this afternoon announced the UK terror threat level has been reduced to 'severe' — meaning intelligence chiefs no longer think an attack is imminent.
She added said it appeared the bomber was not a lone wolf but added that it was 'too early to reach any final conclusions on that'.
Speaking this afternoon Ms Rudd said police had made 'good progress' in the investigation as she announced the country had been removed from the highest terror alert.
It is not known how long the foster teenager living in the Sunbury home is believed to have resided there.
Another neighbour said the man had been dropped off from a foster home in Kent and that he saw him 'ranting and raving' at Mr Jones in the garden.
He said: 'I decided to go out to try and calm the situation down, I said to the lad, 'they are nice people and you need to calm down'.
'He was ranting and raving saying he wanted to go to London.'
A family friend told The Sun that the teenager's biological family were upset that he was being sent to live with the Joneses because they are Christian.

ReplyDeleteStunning poll reveals widespread backlash against refugee immigration in developed countries
By Thomas Lifson
Citizens seem to understand more than their leaders in most Western democracies. Here's a stunning poll that shows the depth of popular opposition to anything-goes migration - with the sentiment the same across the developed world. According to this global study from Ipsos-MORI, cited by Breitbart London, a majority of the population in 25 countries finds immigration a major concern, and most citizens are doubtful about migrant claims to being refugees.
In every single nation surveyed a plurality thought that immigration had had a negative effect. An average of 48 per cent said there are too many immigrants in their countries, against 21 per cent who believe there are not.
A majority in most countries also question if refugees are genuine, believe terrorists are posing as refugees, and think border controls should be tightened.
Breitbart noted that the sharpest shift came from Sweden. Apparently, people aren't as thrilled as their leaders are about a Uniworld Utopia, knowing what migrants are like and what their costs cost them. Note also that Turkey, a nation with a strong national identity, casts an especially baleful eye on unchecked, unvetted and undocumented migrants overrunning their country.

There was the cringe-worthy dance at Trump’s presidential inauguration, and all the times Melania has snibbed his attempts at hand-holding — but this handshake might just take the cake.
After the First lady introduced her husband on stage at an event at Joint Base Andrews, Trump decided to thank her with one of his notorious handshakes.
Melania awkwardly engaged in the handshake, before he pushed her aside and told her “Go sit down”.

DeleteTrump has threatened to rain "fire and fury" on North Korea if the North continued with its threats. Haley said that wasn't an empty threat from the president but she declined to describe the president's intentions.
ReplyDelete"If North Korea keeps on with this reckless behaviour, if the United States has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, North Korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that," Haley said.
"None of us want war. But we also have to look at the fact that you are dealing with someone who is being reckless, irresponsible and is continuing to give threats not only to the United States, but to all their allies, so something is going to have to be done."

ReplyDeleteMichigan Muslim Mom Honor Murdered: “Americanized” her children “in contrast to Islamic roots”
By Pamela Geller - on September 17, 2017
HONOR KILLING
Nada Huranieh’s husband Bassel Altantawi expressed concerns that his children were being “Americanized” by his wife in contrast to their Syrian and Islamic roots, court records show. He hasn’t been charged. Their 16-year-old son is taking the rap. He will get a much lighter sentence, being underage and all. In most of these honor killing cases, the husband and the sons work together to kill the wife or daughter who bought dishonor on the family. There were problems in the home prior to Huranieh’s death, including allegations of domestic violence and Medicaid fraud charges. I believe the husband was involved.
“A judge will decide in November whether a 16-year-old Farmington Hills boy will stand trial for murder….”
Like I said.
TEEN TO LEARN NOV. 17 IF HE’LL BE TRIED IN MOM’S DEATH
George Hunter and Mike Martindale, The Detroit News:
A judge will decide in November whether a 16-year-old Farmington Hills boy will stand trial for murder after he was charged as an adult in connection with his mother’s death.
During a brief hearing Friday, 47th District Judge Marla Parker set a Nov. 17 date for a preliminary examination in the second-degree murder case involving Muhammad Altantawi, who is accused of killing his mother, Nada Huranieh.
Huranieh, 35, died Aug. 21 after she fell from a second-story window of her mansion on Howard Road in Farmington Hills. Police originally considered it an accident, but later determined the fitness trainer’s death was a homicide.
Altantawi is being held in Oakland County Children’s Village without bond. On Friday, Parker allowed a request by defense attorneys David J. Kramer and Shannon Smith to let them bring a laptop into Children’s Village to prepare for the case.
“Muhammad still maintains his innocence,” Kramer said after Friday’s pretrial conference. “He’s hanging in there. He’s a resilient kid.”
Court records reviewed by The Detroit News and family acquaintances show there were problems in the home prior to Huranieh’s death, including allegations of domestic violence and Medicaid fraud charges against the defendant’s father, Bassel Altantawi, a Canton Township doctor.
The father also expressed concerns that his children were being “Americanized” by his wife in contrast to their Syrian and Islamic roots, court records show.

Abedin’s mom made sure Clinton’s Saudi speech omitted “freedom” and “driving for women”
ReplyDeleteSEPTEMBER 17, 2017 1:48 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
It is well established that there is a hierarchy of Leftist values, and Islam trumps feminism. Hillary Clinton, not surprisingly, is on board with this.
“Abedin’s mom made sure Clinton’s Saudi speech omitted ‘freedom’ and ‘driving for women,’ emails show,” by Brooke Singman, Fox News, September 14, 2017:
Huma Abedin’s mother helped to water down a speech then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave at a Saudi women’s college, warning not to mention “political” terms like “freedom” and “driving for women,” new emails show.
Abedin’s mother, Saleha Abedin, is a sociology lecturer at Dar Al Hekma, a women’s college in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Clinton spoke to students on Feb. 16, 2010.
And according to new emails obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch as part of their Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, a Clinton speechwriter for the event sought advice and guidance from Abedin’s mother in advance.
“Talk to my mom for sure,” Abedin, a top Clinton aide, wrote to speechwriter Case Button on Feb. 12, 2010. “She will have good points for you…”
Abedin’s mother responded with a list of “IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER.”
“Do not use the political terms such as ‘democracy/ elections/ freedom.’ Do not use the term ‘empowerment of women’ instead say ‘enabling women’ and use other terms such as ‘partnership/participation,’” Saleha Abedin wrote. “Do not even mention driving for women! The last visitor received a torrent of rejoinders from the students who said they have more important challenges to contend with.”
She added: “Don’t sound sympathetic to ‘women’s plight’ or be ‘patronizing’ as other visitors have done and made the students extremely annoyed. They rightly consider these as in-house issues that they would like to address themselves and not for outsiders, no matter how well intentioned, to come in and tell them.”
Clinton’s speechwriter seemingly took that advice. The 2010 speech, reviewed by Fox News, omitted the words “freedom” and “democracy,” and mentioned “elections” only in reference to those in Iraq.
“We need more partnerships like those that are underway here in Saudi Arabia that strengthen civil society, as well as local indigenous efforts to expand opportunities, so that more girls and women everywhere can participate fully in the spheres of society, if they so choose to do so,” Clinton said, using two key buzzwords recommended, during the town hall.
Clinton did not mention “driving for women” in the speech, as requested….

APOCALYPSE NOW?
ReplyDeleteWar With North Korea Starts to Look Inevitable
GORDON G. CHANG
09.18.17 3:26 AM ET
“We have pretty much exhausted all the things that we could do at the Security Council at this point,” said Nikki Haley on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, referring to North Korea. “We wanted to be responsible and go through all diplomatic means to get their attention first,” the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said. “If that doesn’t work, General Mattis [Defense Secretary James Mattis] will take care of it.”
The comments, no off-the-cuff remarks, mirrored her words at a White House press briefing Friday, and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, standing next to Haley at that briefing, was even more explicit. “I think we ought to make clear what’s different about this approach is, is that we’re out of time,” he noted, referring to sanctions. “As Ambassador Haley said before, we’ve been kicking the can down the road, and we’re out of road.”
When senior Trump administration officials talk about the end of diplomacy they raise the prospect of war. But have all measures short of war been exhausted?
CNN’s Barbara Starr reported Saturday, “North Korea’s latest ballistic missile test has renewed discussion at the highest levels of the Trump administration about how military force could be used to stop [North Korean Leader] Kim Jong Un’s development of nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles.”
The war talk is the result of exasperation by American officials who see that their actions so far have not convinced Kim, the North Korean supremo, to slow down the testing of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.
Take Haley’s CNN comment. Even as President Donald Trump, a U.N. skeptic, prepares to address the United Nations General Assembly, many Americans, viewing the nine ineffective sets of sanctions on North Korea since 2006, say the Security Council itself is broken.
But the Security Council is not “broken.” It was never designed to work in an era of disagreement among the five veto-wielding permanent members.
RELATED IN WORLD NEWS
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an undated photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) in Pyongyang September 3, 2017.
What is not working is the United States. Unfortunately, from administration to administration, American leaders have failed to use all the elements of American power. If China and Russia use their vetoes to frustrate efforts to disarm North Korea—and they do—it is because the United States has not been willing to coerce them into acting responsibly.
With regard to Moscow, recent American policymakers have been more worried about a weak Russia than a strong one. Therefore, they have opted for mild sanctions on Vladimir Putin’s dangerous behavior. Ronald Reagan, at a time when the U.S. was far weaker than it is today and the Soviet Union was far stronger than Russia is now, used American economic might to end the Cold War. Putin today is able to bedevil the U.S. at the Security Council only because Americans are afraid of what happens if they move to take him down.
At the same time, the U.S. has not stopped the People’s Republic of China. Washington has allowed Chinese banks, large and small, to launder money for the North Koreans for decades. Americans reportedly have permitted Chinese leaders to help Pyongyang transfer missiles to the Iranians. The White House did nothing when enterprises connected to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army sold mobile launchers for the North’s intercontinental ballistic missiles. The U.S. has not asked the Chinese, at least in public, how North Korea’s most advanced missiles appear to be derived from China’s Jl-1. And Washington acted as if it did not matter when Chinese businesses allegedly sold uranium hexafluoride, components, and equipment for the Kim regime’s nuclear-weapons program.
DeleteNo wonder the Chinese feel free to support their North Korean allies. U.S. policymakers, they can see, have been feckless. It is one thing for, say, Liechtenstein to fail to convince Beijing to do the right thing. It is quite another for the United States of America to fail to do so. American policymakers have simply failed to coerce Beijing, failed to leave it no choice but to join in the effort to disarm the Kims.
What can the United States do to China? It can declare its largest banks “primary money-laundering concerns” under Section 311 of the Patriot Act, thereby denying them the ability to transact business in the world’s dominant currency. That would be essentially imposing a death sentence on the Chinese banking system and possibly China’s economy, perhaps the Communist Party itself.
Trump can also remind China’s leaders that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in the middle of last month formally initiated, pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, an investigation into Chinese intellectual-property theft. A finding of such theft—virtually assured—can lead to the imposition of high across-the-board tariffs on Chinese goods.
And this month, the People’s Bank of China, the central bank, appears to have driven the renminbi lower, an indication central technocrats are once again “manipulating” their currency as that is defined by U.S. law. That gives Trump another point of leverage.
The Chinese economy, debt-fueled for years, is particularly vulnerable, especially in the run-up to the historic 19th Communist Party Congress, which begins Oct. 18. General Secretary Xi Jinping, who seeks to grab unprecedented power, cannot afford to see a major disruption of relations with the United States at this sensitive time.
The Trump administration, with the series of actions it took in the last week of June, signaled it would move against China for its support for North Korea. For instance, the Treasury Department sawed off Bank of Dandong, a small Chinese financial institution, from the global economy due to its persistent money-laundering. The Chinese, unfortunately, have continued their support for the Norks at the Security Council.
So what should the United States do? It could just give up efforts to disarm Pyongyang, as James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, suggested in widely reported comments to CNN last month. There is an air of defeatism in American policy circles these days.
DeleteThe assumption among Clapper and others is that the U.S. can deter the North Koreans indefinitely. Perhaps Washington can do that and, at the same time, stop their sale of nuclear-weapons technology to Iran and make sure they do not begin merchandising thermonuclear devices to established weapons customers, some of them terrorist groups.
But perhaps deterrence is not possible. Kim Jong Un, who surely knows what Clapper and others are saying, is obviously defiant these days. And the core goal of the Kim regime—the basis of its legitimacy—is taking over the other Korea, the one governed from Seoul.
Kim, once confident about his nukes and the means to deliver them, will almost surely attempt to use the threat of war to break America’s 64-year-old mutual-defense treaty with South Korea and get America’s 28,500 service personnel off the peninsula. Once he accomplishes that, he surely thinks he can intimidate the South into submission.
Kim has recently been talking about “final victory,” a reference to taking over the South. An overconfident despot could miscalculate and begin a chain of events spiraling into war.
Although Americans are confident in their “overwhelming” capabilities, as Trump’s comments at Joint Base Andrews on Friday indicate, the North Koreans probably do not view it that way. They have long memories and they know they grabbed the Pueblo, an unarmed U.S. Navy reconnaissance vessel, from international waters in 1968 and held the crew for almost a year, killing one sailor and even getting an apology from the Johnson administration. They no doubt recall they killed 31 Americans when, a year later, they shot down a Navy EC-121. In 1976, they hacked to death two U.S. Army officers in the Demilitarized Zone. In no case, did North Korea pay a price. So Americans do not look especially intimidating to the Kim family.
And although many Americans call Kim “irrational,” would it be crazy for him to think, now, that Washington will not stop him?
War, through miscalculation and misconception, is beginning to look probable, if not inevitable.

US President Donald Trump's top economic adviser has told a United Nations meeting that the US is standing by its plan to abandon the Paris climate pact without a renegotiation more favourable to Washington, a step for which the international community has little appetite.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday the US could remain in the Paris climate accord under the right conditions.
THE United States and South Korea have staged a series of dramatic bombing drills designed to send a message to Kim Jong-un.
ReplyDeleteThe flurry of military drills comes after Pyongyang fired another mid-range ballistic missile over Japan last Friday.

Russia and China’s joint war games in the North Pacific form an eight day program of joint land and sea drills which include defending ships from an air or naval attack.
The two countries do not have a formal military alliance, but according to the Wall Street Journal are developing common techniques which will allow them to train and fight together.
...
Both Russia and China have condemned North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear tests, with Beijing calling them “regrettable.”
However, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has previously said diplomacy and dialogue will not work with Pyongyang, calling for the entire international community to apply more pressure.
ReplyDeleteThe fear remains that Kim Jong Un may soon develop the ability to target the US with a powerful, nuclear-tipped missile.
A UN General Assembly meeting will be held on on Tuesday, with North Korea's nuclear threat expected to be high on the agenda.

For all the talk of Kim Jong-un being a madman and his nation being full of warrior fanatics, few experts believe North Korea has any intention of using a bomb.
Instead Pyongyang wants an ICBM to ensure they will not be attacked or invaded, using the weapon as a deterrent rather than a hostile threat.
Pyongyang wants to cleanse South Korea of the American occupation troops and bring the blessings of North Korean democracy and enlightenment to the South, according to what someone said.

ReplyDeleteChina’s ambassador to the US has said Beijing will not accept a nuclear armed North Korea amid the crisis over Pyongyang’s rapidly escalating weapons programme.
ReplyDeleteCui Tiankai’s comments on Friday came after some experts and observers have said global powers should accept that Pyongyang has nuclear weapons and policy should now be directed at ensuring they do not use them.
Here are three reasons why China is so opposed to Kim Jong-un’s regime having nuclear arms:
1. Fears of a regional arms race
Observers say China is extremely wary of its neighbours obtaining a credible nuclear arsenal as it poses an obvious risk to its own security. It has also prompted concerns in Beijing that a regional arms race would develop, with South Korea and Japan feeling the need to obtain their own nuclear weapons.
...
South Korea says its policy remains unchanged, but Deng Yuwen, a senior researcher at the Charhar Institute think tank, wrote in a commentary that Seoul and the US were discussing reintroducing American weaponry with nuclear warheads.
...
2. Undermining non-proliferation regime
China is a signatory of the international Non-Proliferation Treaty aimed at limiting the spread of nuclear weapons and championing nuclear disarmament. Japan, the United States and 185 other UN member countries have also signed.
China accepting North Korea as a nuclear state would be a surprise as other emerging nuclear powers such as India and Pakistan have not been accepted under the non-proliferation regime.
3. Safety fears
The North Korean regime is bellicose and unpredictable and Deng said Beijing fears its nuclear weapons programme could lead to radiation leaks into its territory.
In a worst-case scenario, the weapons could be turned against China itself, said Deng. “If relations between China and North Korea deteriorate further, no one can guarantee that Kim will not use nuclear weapons against China.”
China will not cut the flow of oil to NorK
DeleteThe missiles in the NorK arsenal are Chinese
Mr Deng is not a honest broker of information
Kinda like "Baghdad Bob", in that regard
Chinese actions speak to the reality of the situation
Kim Jong-un has vowed to complete North Korea's highly-controversial nuclear weapons programme.
ReplyDeleteNorth Korea said Saturday it was bent on nothing less than military "equilibrium" with arch-enemy the United States with a full nuclear arsenal, forcing UN powers into fresh crisis talks.
...
US Secretary of Defense James Mattis said the launch "put millions of Japanese into duck and cover", although residents of northern Japan appeared calm and went about their business as usual.

The Pentagon started the major buy-up in September 2015 under President Obama. By May this year, it had already spent more than $700 million on AK-47s, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launchers, mortars, and other weapons and ammunition.
More than $900 million has been contracted to be spent by 2022, and nearly $600 million more has been budgeted or requested by the Trump administration. This brings the grand total of the Pentagon’s intended spending on its Syrian allies to $2.2 billion.

Luther's advice was, since one can't get out of making a choice, to 'Sin Bravely', sin here having the old meaning of 'error'.
'Error bravely' - that is, recognize you might be disastrously wrong, but make the best choice you can, and, face to the wind, don't drive yourself nuts with worry about it.
By saying you are tired of hearing about it, and turning to the Detroit ball game, you are, in a way, making a choice....to do nothing. You may be right, but you might be disastrously wrong.

ReplyDelete—In what some security experts fear could be a high-stakes war of Elton John lyrics, minutes after Donald Trump called Kim Jong Un “Rocket Man,” the North Korean dictator responded by calling Trump “Honky Cat.”
DeleteAs he issued the Elton John-based attack, Kim warned that he had an extensive collection of the singer-songwriter’s albums and was prepared to weaponize every lyric in them.
The White House immediately struck back, warning Kim that “any further provocation involving an Elton John lyric, especially ‘Tiny Dancer,’ will be seen as an act of war.”
But any hope that Kim would be silenced was short-lived.
Responding to the White House, Kim stated, “I see the bitch is back,” before signing off, “Goodbye, Yellow-Wigged Toad.”

A 40-year study of teens finds Generation Z is avoiding sex, alcohol, and driving at record rates
According to a new study from the psychologists Jean Twenge and Heejung Park, teenagers instead prefer to sit at home, avoid drugs and alcohol, and scroll through a litany of social-media apps.
The study, published in the journal Child Development, analyzed survey responses from 8.3 million teenagers between 1976 and 2016. Overwhelmingly, today's teens were found to be less likely to drive, work for pay, go on dates, have sex, or go out without their parents...

"What, me worry ?"
DeleteWhat is the origin of the phrase “What, me worry”? (It isn't Mad Magazine!)
In Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, Erik Larson discusses the early history of the submarine. According to Larson, the submarine was regarded as an "iron coffin" until the work of John Philip Holland, an Irish engineer.
Larson says (page 57): "A famous 1898 cartoon, based on a photograph....shows Holland emerging in top hat [actually it may have been a derby] from the hatch of one of his submarines with the caption "What, me worry?" For the photograph on which the cartoon may have been based, see Wikipedia, John Philip Holland
I have not been able to find the cartoon; nor have I been able to find if the phrase was in use before 1898, or if it originated in the cartoon.
(See also Richard Compton-Hall The Submarine Pioneers: The Beginnings of Underwater Warfare, Chapter Three.))
etymology phrases expressions
According to John E. Hett, Publisher and Editor of The Journal of MADness, they have their origins in anti-Irish racism prevalent in the late 18th century and throughout the 19th century in Great Britain and the US. http://www.madmumblings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3592
Having read the excellent link you found, I would be more specific and say the phrase has its origin in a stereotype associated with anti-Irish racism. – Peter Shor Nov 26 '15 at 14:01
I do agree with you and thank you for the correction, for the sake of splitting hairs, most racism is based in stereotypes. Is it not? – Rob BB3 Nov 26 '15 at 16:56
I was wondering whether I was splitting hairs when i made the comment. – Peter Shor Nov 26 '15 at 19:48
According to "Dead Wake", Holland emigrated to America and began designing undersea vessels with the goal of helping Ireland defeat the British navy." (How Ireland was going to take on the British navy was not explained.) Holland was highly regarded for his engineering innovations at the time of the photo and cartoon, so if "What, me worry" originally was anti-Irish, the use of it in the cartoon must have been ironic. – ab2 Nov 26 '15 at 21:06

ReplyDeleteSONG OF PRUDENCE
MANHATTAN'S streets I saunter'd pondering,
On Time, Space, Reality—on such as these, and abreast with
them Prudence.
The last explanation always remains to be made about prudence,
Little and large alike drop quietly aside from the prudence that
suits immortality.
The soul is of itself,
All verges to it, all has reference to what ensues,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [begin page 290] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All that a person does, says, thinks, is of consequence,
Not a move can a man or woman make, that affects him or her in
a day, month, any part of the direct lifetime, or the hour
of death,
But the same affects him or her onward afterward through the
indirect lifetime.
The indirect is just as much as the direct,
The spirit receives from the body just as much as it gives to the
body, if not more.
Not one word or deed, not venereal sore, discoloration, privacy
of the onanist,
Putridity of gluttons or rum-drinkers, peculation, cunning, betrayal,
murder, seduction, prostitution,
But has results beyond death as really as before death.
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth any
thing.
No specification is necessary, all that a male or female does, that is
vigorous, benevolent, clean, is so much profit to him or her,
In the unshakable order of the universe and through the whole
scope of it forever.
Who has been wise receives interest,
Savage, felon, President, judge, farmer, sailor, mechanic, literat,
young, old, it is the same,
The interest will come round—all will come round.
Singly, wholly, to affect now, affected their time, will forever affect,
all of the past and all of the present and all of the future,
All the brave actions of war and peace,
All help given to relatives, strangers, the poor, old, sorrowful, young
children, widows, the sick, and to shunn'd persons,
All self-denial that stood steady and aloof on wrecks, and saw
others fill the seats of the boats,
All offering of substance or life for the good old cause, or for a
friend's sake, or opinion's sake,
All pains of enthusiasts scoff'd at by their neighbors,
All the limitless sweet love and precious suffering of mothers,
All honest men baffled in strifes recorded or unrecorded,
All the grandeur and good of ancient nations whose fragments we
inherit,
All the good of the dozens of ancient nations unknown to us by
name, date, location,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [begin page 291] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All that was ever manfully begun, whether it succeeded or no,
DeleteAll suggestions of the divine mind of man or the divinity of his
mouth, or the shaping of his great hands,
All that is well thought or said this day on any part of the globe,
or on any of the wandering stars, or on any of the fix'd
stars, by those there as we are here,
All that is henceforth to be thought or done by you whoever you
are, or by any one,
These inure, have inured, shall inure, to the identities from which
they sprang, or shall spring.
Did you guess any thing lived only its moment?
The world does not so exist, no parts palpable or impalpable so
exist,
No consummation exists without being from some long previous
consummation, and that from some other,
Without the farthest conceivable one coming a bit nearer the
beginning than any.
Whatever satisfies souls is true;
Prudence entirely satisfies the craving and glut of souls,
Itself only finally satisfies the soul,
The soul has that measureless pride which revolts from every lesson
but its own.
Now I breathe the word of the prudence that walks abreast with
time, space, reality,
That answers the pride which refuses every lesson but its own.
What is prudence is indivisible,
Declines to separate one part of life from every part,
Divides not the righteous from the unrighteous or the living from
the dead,
Matches every thought or act by its correlative,
Knows no possible forgiveness or deputed atonement,
Knows that the young man who composedly peril'd his life and
lost it has done exceedingly well for himself without doubt,
That he who never peril'd his life, but retains it to old age in
riches and ease, has probably achiev'd nothing for himself
worth mentioning,
Knows that only that person has really learn'd who has learn'd to
prefer results,
Who favors body and soul the same,
Who perceives the indirect assuredly following the direct,
Who in his spirit in any emergency whatever neither hurries nor
avoids death.

Mohamed Morsi[note 1] (Arabic: محمد محمد مرسى عيسى العياط, ALA-LC: Muḥammad Muḥammad Mursī ‘Īsá al-‘Ayyāṭ, IPA: [mæˈħæmmæd mæˈħæmmæd ˈmoɾsi ˈʕiːsæ (ʔe)l.ʕɑjˈjɑːtˤ]; born 8 August 1951) is an Egyptian politician who served as the fifth[1] President of Egypt, from 30 June 2012 to 3 July 2013, when General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi removed Morsi from office in the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état after the June 2013 Egyptian protests.[2]
As president, Morsi issued a temporary constitutional declaration in late November that in effect granted him unlimited powers and the power to legislate without judicial oversight or review of his acts. The new constitution that was then hastily drawn up by the Islamist-dominated constitutional assembly, presented to the president, and scheduled for a referendum, before the Supreme Constitutional Court could rule on the constitutionality of the assembly, was described by independent press agencies not aligned with the regime as an "Islamist coup".[3] These issues,[4] along with complaints of prosecutions of journalists and attacks on nonviolent demonstrators,[5] led to the 2012 Egyptian protests.[6][7] As part of a compromise, Morsi rescinded the decrees.[8] In the referendum he held on the new constitution it was approved by approximately two thirds of voters.[9]
On 30 June 2013, protests erupted across Egypt, which saw protesters calling for the president's resignation.[10][11][12] In response to the events, Morsi was given a 48-hour ultimatum by the military to meet their demands and to resolve political differences, or else they would intervene by "implementing their own road map" for the country.[13] He was unseated on 3 July by a military coup council consisting of Defense Minister Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, the Grand Imam of Al Azhar Ahmed el-Tayeb, and Coptic Pope Tawadros II.[14][15] The military suspended the constitution and established a new administration now led by General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi.[16] The Muslim Brotherhood protested against the military coup, but the pro-Morsi protests were crushed in the August 2013 Rabaa massacre in which at least 817 civilians were killed.[17] Opposition leader Elbaradei quit in protest of the massacre.[18]
Since his overthrow, Egyptian prosecutors have charged Morsi with various crimes and sought the death penalty, a move denounced by Amnesty International as "a charade based on null and void procedures."[19] His death sentence was overturned, so he will receive a retrial.[20] However, Morsi is still currently imprisoned.[21]

German World War I submarine discovered intact with 23 bodies inside
ReplyDeleteFOX News
© Provided by Fox News
A submarine used by Germany during World War I was found basically intact and with bodies of 23 people inside off the coast of Belgium.
Authorities said the UB II-type diver was found on the floor of the North Sea at about a 45 degree angle, between 82 to 98 feet below the surface. The boat is 88 feet long and nearly 20 feet wide.
“It’s quite amazing that we found something like this,” Western Flanders Gov. Carl Decaluew said. “The impact damage was at the front, but the submarine remains closed and there are 23 people still onboard.”
WRECKAGE OF LOST WORLD WAR II BOMBER DISCOVERED IN THE NORTH SEA
He said the U-boat was found by researchers but declined to provide information on the wreck’s location to prevent people from going near. He said the German ambassador was also contacted because “we need to see what [we] can do” with the remains.
While mostly intact, the vessel did sustain some damage at the front. It appears that the sub may have struck a mine with its upper deck while two torpedo tubes have been destroyed. A lower tube is intact and closed.
Around 18 German U-boats were stationed with the Flanders Flotilla in Bruges between 1915 and 1918. Thirteen of them were destroyed.
STUNNING PICTURES REVEAL THE WRECK OF US WORLD WAR II-ERA SUB
This wreck is the 11th found in Belgian waters. At least one more dive is required to determine which U-boat it is and it is believed to be one of three.
UB-II submarines were built in 1915 and 1916 and were able to dive to a depth of nearly 150 feet.
Allied warships and cargo ships were easy pickings for the German subs that were launched from Bruges, just across the English Channel.
