This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why doesn't chicken have a different name for the meat

Because the poor peasants could afford to eat it and the French version (would be poulet or something like that) never caught on.

Sorry. That was supposed to be in the original comment, but I guess I forgot.
