Things you were shockingly old when you learned

reminds me of teh time when I was in a church musical called THE BACKYARD GANG and the cast was struggling with singing the lyric, which was "la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-di", and so instead of telling the one or two dumb people "it's literally just la-di-da-di over and over, with two dis" at the end, the idiot changed it to "la-di-di-di-da-di-di-di-da-di-da" and not only was that harder to remember, but now it no longer rhymed with the next bar, which ended in "Happily".

burned her house down *emotionally*

Here's my mnemonic for how many days in a month: OSJJLAAFCTIPOIYP

o

sweet

jeebus

just

look

at

a

fucking

calendar.

there

is

probably

one

in

your

pocket

i'm wearing fuckin cargo pants i can't fit the 1990 SI swimsuit calendar in my fuckin pocket

i think the benefit of the rhyme is you don't have to stare at your upraised knuckles like a crazy person

my knuckles say LOVE

well, LOEV...my tattoo artist was an idiot

my arms say
LUV
THEM

My knuckles say EARL GREY... not super tough, I know.

I have no fucking idea how people find the knuckle or finger thing useful but ironically it can never remember what 'index finger' is and have to go through a process of elimination is because I know where a ring is worn and I know what a middle is.

it’s the one that indicates

Great url

The index finger (also referred to as forefinger, first finger, pointer finger, trigger finger, digitus secundus, digitus II, and many other terms) is the second finger of a human hand.

Wikipedia comes good again. DIGITUS II it is for me from now on.

xpost lol, wait, there's a method of figuring out the number of days in a month by counting your pubes?

one extremely long, world-record length, greasy, lone day, in isolation and surrounded by smooth silky skin, has october.

seems kinda difficult to remember, better to go with the knuckles

I say "Thirty days *hath* September..." for some reason, I have no idea why.

Ha yeah i got that olde tymey vibe in my mnemonic too

Wasn't until a month or so ago that it dawned on me that the Lincoln Project was not an organization of gay GOP members.

That group, of course, are known as Log Cabin Republicans.

^^ Image needed more drop shadow, imo.

Forsooth, sirrah, I also hath ye olde quaintie language in my mnemonic. Zounds!

Verily, I still sayeth unto ye, why not just look at yr damn phone?

Fie on thee, wretched soul, for thou reliest too kindly upon thine hell-rectangle.

Wait,

The index finger (also referred to as [...] first finger, [...]) is the second finger of a human hand.

If you seek the months that 30 days contain
September, April, June, and November would be the expected refrain
If you wish to know those with 31
That's too many questions
Jethro, get my gun

That it's one idea jibes with another, it doesn't jive. Though I think I sometimes say 'chimes with' anyway.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/jive-jibe-gibe

Garbled sentence, sorry. That jibes with my general state of mind.

I feel like I've seen "jives with" used in real publications in recent years. Has it somehow become acceptable?

I probably first saw it 25 years ago and at least twice since but somehow it flew right by me that Glengarry Glenn Ross is set in Chicago

I should say that it was wins on the outbreak thread who made me think again about jibes with:

outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)

About jives with, rather

Feel quite strongly that "jive" is currently more correct and "jibe" should be reserved for taunts but I have nothing - and I mean literally, in the actual, correct sense of that word - literally nothing to substantiate that prejudice.

Well that is because you are incorrect, so

jive = swingin, jazz, talkin - things working and moving together

jibe = taunting, friction, teasing - things rubbing at cross purposes

ugh, wait, the "correct" definition is from some sailing shit. I changed my mind, I'm on your side

i like the cut of your jive young sir

Sailing
Takes me away
To where ive always
Known u were RONG

Oh stewardess, I speak jibe

1) That Peaches & Herb's 'Reunited' is a sequel to their 1968 single '(We'll Be) United'.

2) That there were seven different Peaches-es throughout the years.

O.L., I'm a little shook.
