@penny-anna’s staycation post about ‘staycation means not leaving the country’) got me thinking; I always assumed we used the term for staying home-home but apparently not everyone feels that way?

(also Americans your country is huuuuuge so for the sake of making things comparable let’s say: does staycation just mean not leaving the state?)

I’m genuinely interested as to how many homophobic heterosexual men started watching OFMD thinking Stede was straight, considering he’s married, has children and has frequent flashbacks to them in the first season and then said homophobic hetero men where all “holy shit this is gay wtf?!?” by the last episode and were genuinely appalled??? Someone must have put together screenshots from twitter or something. This would crack me up to no end.

Important information from I May Be Some Time: Ice and the English Imagination (a very serious and scholarly book about the cultural impact of polar exploration in the United Kingdom in the 19th Century)

Citing Eric Partridge's DIctionary of Slang:

"North Pole" = arsehole in rhyming slang around 1870.

That is all.

Peoples of Tumblr, lend me your search queries...

For years now i've been trying to find out something, anything about an old TV show. I think it was a show, not a movie, as I'm sure I remember multiple episodes...

It was late 70s or early 80s sci-fi, and it was more-or-less a super-hero show. Our hero was an astronaut caught in space when... something happened. I think they were outside the ship when caught in a cosmic ray storm or similar? Anyway, once back on Earth (possibly after being knocked out by the effect and unconscious during re-entry, recovery, and maybe a bit longer too) they awaken seemingly normal, that is until testing starts. (You gotta do testing, that's how you learn what's happened.)

So there's a test of smarts, and a test of physical endurance, and I think smarts comes first; as they're working various problems, their eyes start to change and end up bright green! Then, as they start to do more intensive things (harder problems, or the physical stuff?) they shift to yellow and they become even more capable of defeating the problems with ease. But they start showing off, and pushing themselves even harder, and as they do their eyes turn bright red and all the readings of their vitals "go off the charts" as they always say (they really should make bigger charts.) Turns out this is a super dangerous state for them to be in, it burns up their energy reserves at a prodigious rate as well as maybe causing brain damage or swelling or overheating, and whatever it is imminent fucked-upness awaits if they don't chill out right now if not sooner!

Of course, having someone with these kind of abilities means they need to become a secret agent that can do all kinds of infiltration and shit, because nobody's ever seen their face (except in all the news stories about how they almost died in space...) and as the show goes on, every week we have multiple situations where green-eyes appear, a few rarer ones with yellow eyes, and of course at least one where red eyes are necessary to avert disaster of one kind or another, before returning to base and getting a bollocking (affectionate) while recovering.

Help me, tumblr hivemind - what the hell was this show, who was in it, and can I ever possibly watch an episode again?!

Just been trying to catch up with some of my ridiculously long list of saved Youtube videos and after watching a couple of convention panels I can’t help wondering where on earth Paul got the idea that Bush gets married from.

Did someone slip him a copy of Ship of the Line/Flying Colours from another dimension? It was obviously quite vivid in his mind as he was on about dragging himself up the aisle after having his leg blown off. I imagine if they’d got as far as filming those books he’d have been just a tad disappointed!

As a non native English speaker I have a question: why is Naked pronounced naked, but baked not pronounced Baked?

And why can a second also be the second?
