Yay for MN sending me off to look at the dictionary (again)- three words I didn't know before, and do now! Three new things for today.

However, I will admit to a temporary pause for thought when I read Miriam Webster's:

'carucage
noun
plural-s
old English law
: a tax on every plow or plowland'

as a tax on every pillow 😂

I haven't yet worked out how they are pronounced eg. is it car-you-cage or car-uh-cage or car-oo-cahje or what? @MarieDeGournay , can you help? Now that I've learnt them, I might need to drop words like these into random (spoken) conversations some day and won't want to show my ignorance. Thanks. 😀

Well I would say car-oo-cahje. I think we can safely pronounce it any way we damn well like, DrSDF, who's going to correct us?Wink
So to recap:
Carucage - a tax on pillows
Tallage - a tax on being over 6 foot
Scutage - a tax on e-scooters.

I believe* I'm correct in saying that 'scutage' (pronounced scuh-tah-jeh) is a type of Italian pasta. Shaped like the scales on a tortoiseshell.

*fuck it, if belief can change your sex then this is a piece of piss!

I'm thinking we need a Team Jane t shirt...and possibly Erin's cat. It's too late for the election but I'd love to see what artwork the gerbils could come up with.

AlisonDonut · 28/06/2024 21:29

Would chatgpt know what Erin's PhD was about and tell us the conclusions?

Yeeees. I don't think AI's going to be taking over the world any time soon.

You've given me an idea!

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/06/2024 22:37

Oooooh!

lcakethereforeIam · 28/06/2024 22:39

Don't get too excited.

Put up a poster

Back to Basics, eh? (who was that?)

This is how I picture Jane.

The bus driving on the river is a nice touch.

Pity they all have long hair.

MarieDeGournay · 29/06/2024 09:32

..and boobs that give one the rare opportunity to use the word 'pert', in fact I don't think I've ever used the word 'pert' before.

Except the Union Flag one, definitely not-pert. But lovely anyway, lest I sound judgmental. Or picky. Or like Father Ted at the Lovely Girls competition..😁

For you, my dear Dean (pity AI can't spell & has given her hands like spider crabs, but there we go).

'Her hands are like spider crabs,
Cold as the March wind her eyes'

ifIwerenotanandroid · 29/06/2024 18:26

But her hair is beautiful.

I started to read it, but it brought back memories of English A level.😱😂

DeanElderberry · 29/06/2024 20:03

The hands are like Sarjenka's - the alien little girl that Data got mixed up with in Pen Pals in ST TNG.

Is it sad that I looked at that picture & thought, 'I remember that episode'?

DeanElderberry · 29/06/2024 20:26

No of course not. It would be sad if you didn't.

Unless you remember it in such detail that you wouldn't enjoy watching it again. That would be sad.
