You can have Yorkshire pudding as a pudding with golden syrup.

"Why is a slightly open door, called a jar?"

Possibly from Scottish dialect 'a char' (turned a little way).

Bill Hicks:

'One time me and three friends dropped acid and drove around in my dad's car. He has one of those talking cars, we're tripping, and the car goes, "The door is ajar." We pulled over and thought about that for 12 hours. "How can a door be a jar?" … "Why would they put a jar on a car?" … "Oh man, the freeway's melting!" … "Put it in the jar."'

It wasn't a shoe but a slipper - designed to be easily slipped on or off.

Jigsaw tool came first. You needed a jigsaw to make a jigsaw.

Why are places for getting your nails done called nail bars? You don't have haircutting bars. And why are massage places called parlours? A parlour was a room in a home where you received guests and had conversations. Who decided to commandeer these words?

C14th parlour means merely 'room off a main hall offering some privacy'. Which could be an explanation or by C19th also means 'showroom for a business'.

The oft quoted saying for this is 'Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It' but this is a mis-quote ('Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it' - George Santayana).

The essential argument is that because humans die then each new generation will make the same 'mistakes'. Essentially we cannot learn from the past because we have not lived it and have no memory of it because we do not live forever.

For personal mistakes it is possibly erroneous thinking of 'this time it will be different'.

These are heteronyms (same spelling, different pronunciation/meaning). These English words are spelt from their etymology rather than their sound.

In English the correct pronunciation when reading the word is inferred from the context.

There's also the modern version, "those who know their history and doomed to watch others repeat it".

It is originally and C13th meant 'apartment in a monastery for conversations with outside persons'. As with many words in English they can take on different meanings over time.

Fish that are fished in lakes. What do they learn from being actively fished...

Do they take the bait and think sod it..it's a photo op and worth it for a tasty morsel.

Or actively hide away because they are camera shy

I often wandered why the indentation in a house brick was called a frog, because it didn’t Resemble one and the reason is ‘in the 1930s the bricks were made by hand in slop moulds and the indent required a wooden former in the bottom of the mould box. This looked like a crouching frog and the name stuck despite its reference to the indent.’

Something that occurred to me a couple of years ago.....

My sister and I only have sons, so an ancient genetic line of women going back to the dawn of human life has died with us. Made me kind of sad. Same for my brother and dad. Brother has no children and won't be procreating in the future, so that specific genetic material which has been passed down from father to son for millenia will die with my brother.

I suppose the x chromosome they supply to their daughter will have originally come from me, but it was the line of women, mother to daughter, being broken that felt poignant for some reason.

I understand where you are coming from, someone put it to me another way (I only have a lad, the only boy of his generation across both sides of the family).... he breaks the bond of a grandmother carrying their granddaughter before her daughter is born. As females are born with their eggs, our grandmothers technically carried two generations in their pregnancy. With each boy this connection is broken.

Because ..... A jigsaw picture has been jig-sawed into pieces around all those curves and straights but jig-saw is a saw that jigs about - like a dance.

The saw jigs.

If we hammered the picture it would be a hammered but we don't hammer it, we jigsaw it with a jigsaw.

"Why is a Yorkshire pudding called a pudding when it's not

You can have Yorkshire pudding as a pudding with golden syrup.

That is just so wrong "

Yorkshire pudding and pancakes are the same mixture just cooked differently. I bet you would put golden syrup on a pancake so why not a Yorkshire pudding?

"Cheese is just solidified milk solids. Why hasn't anyone invented a cheese milkshake?"

No. Cheese is not solidified milk.

Cheese is a chemical reaction when milk becomes acidic due to it being fed on by bacteria. The acid makes the protein in milk into a plastic like substance called casein. We know the ones we like as 'cheese' ......

It's a chemical reaction so you can't get the milk back from cheese they are two different substances.

"Something that occurred to me a couple of years ago.....

My sister and I only have sons, so an ancient genetic line of women going back to the dawn of human life has died with us. Made me kind of sad. Same for my brother and dad. Brother has no children and won't be procreating in the future, so that specific genetic material which has been passed down from father to son for millenia will die with my brother.

What if your sons have daughters? Won't that work? Or am I being thick?

I suppose the x chromosome they supply to their daughter will have originally come from me, but it was the line of women, mother to daughter, being broken that felt poignant for some reason.

I understand where you are coming from, someone put it to me another way (I only have a lad, the only boy of his generation across both sides of the family).... he breaks the bond of a grandmother carrying their granddaughter before her daughter is born. As females are born with their eggs, our grandmothers technically carried two generations in their pregnancy. With each boy this connection is broken. "

on this chain of thought (being born with all your eggs) and a conversation with a friend the other day about how she had double the eggs at 40 they expected her to have

if we use birth control for years so don’t ovulate, why does that time not just get added to then end of our fertility window since our we still have eggs left

"Why is it okay for a short person to ask a tall person to reach for something from the top shelf, but if a tall person asked a short person to bend down to get something from the bottom shelf that would be insulting ?

I get asked regularly on the big shop, usually in the biscuit aisle "
