That kitty rules. A cruise line used to pay me to put on a uniform with bowtie and drink cocktails with snooty passengers during sail away evening. They're the simplest thing to tie, once you figure out how to properly set the length. But tieing things around one's throat is a foolish custom, regardless of style. Especially when you're giving them booze. Edit: better quote that cat BaronVonVaderham posted:Counterpoint: Here's my loving cat with a bowtie.

My Halloween costume was Fred Jones, turns out tying an ascot is just like tying a tie except you skip half a step at the end. It was surprising how good it felt/looked but I'm not gonna be the ascot guy either

A lot of Canadian place names are often pronounced wrong. Toronto is Tchrono Calgary is Calgree In Calgary there's a neighborhood called Marlborough that's pronounced slightly differently depending on the context. You say MAR-bruh, but the 'bruh' is almost 2 syllables, or if it's the infamous shopping mall, it's Marbromall. Emphasis is either on the first or last syllable, but never the middle.

Try stretching the syllables: Behr-Lihn Or look up JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner", which Germans still make fun off, because in most places a Berliner is this:  Berliners the citizens call it a pancake though, which is objectively wrong. And the correct term is Kreppel, thank you very much.

In the context of what he was saying JFK was right, though. If he had been in Hamburg he would have said Hamburger. It only seems like jelly doughnut if you were to stretch it to be like he said he was a Steamed Ham. It’s a regional thing.

Yeah from every actual contextual thing I've seen about that speech, nobody watching it thought it was funny or didn't get what he was saying. It was only, like, people trying to invent an own against him later, or people trying to show off their rudimentary German.

The Philadelphia area has a lot of Native American names for areas and a lot of Welsh town names. It's incredibly confusing to people coming in out of town. I'm fairly certain the Welsh names are completely mangled. (I live in Upper Gwynedd, which is Gwen-id, I recently learned it should be pronounced more like Gwyneth). I think the toughest Native one is Conshohocken (It's pronounced like it's spelled. Con-show-hock-en but seeing it for the first time is shocking). There's also Passyunk Avenue (which you need to know if you're trying to find the 2 tourist cheesesteak places. Pash-unk. We also have the Schuylkill River, which I thought was native but is actually Dutch in origin. Skoo-kill.
