Sometimes I retweet pseudolinguistics, but lately only sometimes.

@iamAtheistGirl how does "bra" fit into this when I made the comment you gave it a like but I can't picture myself actually calling anyone it was a cheap shot at a pearl clutcher and it was based on having seen people explain it as the female alternative years back can't picture it "in use"

TW: clickbait The word ‘cursor’ is a Latin borrowing meaning "runner” and was originally used to refer to someone who delivers messages. In the 1500s, it was applied to the sliding part of a slide rule. This is most likely where our current use of 'cursor' came from.

@RaxKingIsDead I think people who have 5% body fat are also often people who post on their social media what their body fat % is.

@SlenderSkeptic I know it's legal in the US, and there was a lawsuit about it in the 80s. I'm not really sure about elsewhere, but I'd assume it's legal in the UK if Lidl is doing it there. It's doubtful that they're just letting Jesus take the copyright infringement wheel.

lidl's wooden toy sale advert "pick up this brio compatible train set" are they allowed to do that? Are they allowed to use a brand name for something the very namedrop identifies as a cheap imitation?
