One time when I took my cat to the vet (routine checkup), I arrived bleeding because she had Opinions about her carrier. They had to give me first aid before they proceeded with her exam.

While I saw a guy who was wearing a light jacket, shorts, and no socks. Peak New England.

We’ve heard this line so many times, and it’s almost always followed not too long thereafter by “a mutually agreed parting of the ways”. The only question is when.

Oof. Pulled out the flannel pajamas last night. And being a soft Southerner by birth, I am not ashamed to admit that I caved and turned on the heat. #newenglandweather #crispy

I had one of those moments today where the word I knew I wanted was firmly stuck in my brain while my mouth was insisting on going rogue. My brain wanted "cufflinks" but my mouth wanted "handcuffs". I mean, what ...? #useyourwords #whenEnglishmajorsgobad

In the space of a few hours this morning, we have gained an archbishop and lost a legend. Prayers of different intentions for Sarah Mullally and Patricia Routledge. #churchofengland #hyacinthbucket

The origin of the word is Arabic, and given historical trade routes it’s no surprise that the European versions would all be near-homophones.
