I fucking love the etymology of animal and food words. My favorite is deer, which is related to the German Tier, and originally meant “animal,” because I imagine early Germanic speakers looking at a deer and thinking “this is it, the quintessential animal.” I get it, honestly.

I dunno, man. I've heard it being referred to as "aqua-cola". I've also heard it's incredibly addictive, which makes sense because not a lot of time has to pass at all before I start to crave more of it. It's practically impossible to resist.

Should've never been started on that shit. I dunno why it's so normalised in society...

"Adam's Ale" is in my thesaurus as a synonym for water. I've never heard that one before. lol

There is also Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Recently heard that cup of Joe comes from the Navy. The guy that banned alcohol on Navy ships and replaced them with coffee was named Joe.

In French we call it "Chateau Lapompe" which sounds like a wine name but is literally "castle the pump".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Morning brown, morning brown

Get yourself a cup of morning brown

Morning brown, morning frown

What the heck is morning brown?

Well, morning brown is great, you get it

in a cup

Add cream and sugar, then you stir it all up

It comes from beans, have it hot or with

ice

In a day, I'd say, only drink it thrice

Morning brown, I'm still not sure

Can you please explain it some more?

It's coffee, ya fuck

Oh, right, yep

Adam's ale (also referred to as Adam's wine, especially in Scotland; sometimes simply called Adam) is a colloquial allusion meaning water. It alludes to the idea that the biblical Adam had only water to drink. This inference gained popularity around the beginning of the 19th-century temperance movement.

Well how else would you use synonyms for a noun?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I was corrected in that he used allegorical terms, but still. Stuff like that can also be considered a nickname.

Even without Shakespeare I can think of "agua," "souse," "sky nectar," and "wet" all of which are nicknames I heard in the Chicago area in the 80s and 90s.

I didn't know "souse" also referred to pickling brine or a drunkard until literally 20 minutes ago.

Edit: and "souse" was pronounced like the name of the fat guy in Gravity Falls.
