The trailers weren’t that specific. They talked about some students investigating an urban legend who disappeared before their footage was later found. There was nothing about how they died because of magic.

How about Dick Swett?

It might be less common in the UK (eg I know you guys still keep the lay/lie distinction commonly but it’s pretty muddled in the US these days), but you can find usage notes in US-based dictionaries:

the past and past participle hung, as well as hanged, is standard. Hanged is most appropriate for official executions

he was to be hanged, cut down whilst still alive … and his bowels torn out
—Louis Allen

but hung is also used.

gave orders that she should be hung
—Peter Quennell

Hung is more appropriate for less formal hangings.

by morning I’ll be hung in effigy
—Ronald Reagan

Hung also works; a lot of people stopped making the distinction, going back decades

I’m astounded that in a gathering of fascists two people holding English and Irish flags can stand in the same vicinity of each other and not start throwing punches.

Here’s a version with OP (?) attached.

How about piss christ?

How about a Zippy?

Yeah, there are a few scenes from his movies where it shows him opening his closet and all his outfits are the exact same.

They probably said either the name of a specific game or “playing karuta”, which is a word derived from the Portuguese word for card (carta).

I bet it’s pretty good. If the fish are small enough they can usually be eaten whole and there’s no strange taste from the head. In Japan there’s a small smelt that gets grilled or fried and is intended to be eaten whole (often served with a bit of mayo).

I dunno, I think “marsupials = pouches” (and bears = no pouches) is pretty much the first (and possibly only) fact that the vast majority of people who’ve previously heard the word marsupial would be able to produce.

I’d imagine this knowledge is so common that the “college honor student” in the OP meme seems way over the top. Like how many 10 year olds haven’t heard of kangaroos and their pouches?

Happens with Japanese companies too, like Nikon. Also words that end in eh sound become ee, like karate and karaoke and sake.

I’d argue that Travolta’s scientology movie was cringier

Your quoted reply was from MystikIncarnate instead of PriorityMotif, and it looks like you’re reading hostility into their reply that I don’t think was intended. I believe the point was that every generation will have unique struggles, and it’s not intended to wish that each one should have to struggle exactly the same way or amount by pointing out some of those challenges.

Assonance is the repetition of identical or similar phonemes in words or syllables that occur close together, either in terms of their vowel phonemes (e.g., lean green meat) or their consonant phonemes (e.g., Kip keeps capes ). However, in American usage, assonance exclusively refers to this phenomenon when affecting vowels, whereas, when affecting consonants, it is generally called consonance.

Huh, TIL that the US uses a different definition than the rest of the world. I’d been wondering if you and I just had vastly different vowel pronunciations.
