I was looking for a Finnish pangram but the only perfect one (törkylempijävongahdus) is missing the foreign phonemes (Finnish is more or less written phonemically)

You can't fool me, that's what we say when we're trying to mock-curse in Finnish.

It’s definitely jumped. I remember that from one of the Berenstein books.

It's jumps you nitwits. This isn't up for discussion. It's a sentence specifically designed to use every letter of the English alphabet, how are you arguing that it's phrased in such a way to not do that.

Because it was a major plot point in that genie movie with Sinbad. I wouldn’t forget something like that.

If you're from Louisville, KY it's pronounced LUHL-vul. It's become a bit of a hassle for me since I haven't lived in KY since I was three and no one knows where the hell I'm talking about. Not gonna change it, though.

ubergnu posted:Dammit! At least Walk Like an Egyptian is safe no wait why do I bother If it makes you feel better, the percentage of pop songs actually written by the people who performed them is astonishingly low (Terius Nash, aka The-Dream, wrote, like, half the pop hits between 2000-2010), and if nobody else actually released a performance of the song it's not really a cover. The Bangles were the first group to release recordings of "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like an Egyptian", so you can feel comfortable in that, at least.

Lou-ih-vill is acceptable in a pinch, though it will definitely mark you as a transplant. Lewis-vill, though, is VERBOTEN.

I’d read a thread where people post songs they’re pretty sure aren’t about sex and then other people ruin them with new and exciting interpretations about how actually, yes, they are.

I was watching It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown a few nights ago, for obvious reasons, and something occurred to me about the WWI flying ace/Sopwith Camel stuff: the Peanuts kids' grandparents probably would have been WWI veterans, or at least have lived during that era. As a Millennial born in the mid '80s, the references to WWI-era stuff doesn't mean as much to me as it probably would have to comics readers of the mid '60s. Not a huge revelation, but I had just never thought of it.

At the risk of yet another questionable etymology post, I just found out that mesquite isn't an adjective, but a name of a tree whose wood is used to smoke food. All this time, I thought mesquite was an adjective that describes a certain flavor that American barbecue sauce has, in a way you can say something tastes sweet or savory. I keep hearing the phrase "mesquite barbecue" when growing up, but I never thought much of it. Am I wrong on this?

You can smoke with a number of different kinds of woods; each one gives a different flavor so are often used in different kinds of foods. So functionally when used in things like sauces it's describing the flavor of something smoked using mesquite wood.
