It was a thing for a while elsewhere, especially lobster mac and cheese now we’re all about the katsu sando. Maybe the next global hipster food trend can be non-shit buffalo wings. How hard is it not to bread the wings, bake or fry them very hot and drown in Franks red hot.

When watching sports on television I am exposed to advertisements featuring "buffalo wings", as conceived by several different corporate franchises. Such ads try desperately to make them look appetizing, using every trick of lighting, slow motion, action shots of wings spilling in profusion or floating through the air to majestic music. You name it.
Gawd, those breaded, glossy, candy-colored monstrosities look disgusting.

If it makes you feel any better, the section of my supermarket that sells genuine cheese is approximately 100 times larger than the square footage where canned 'cheese' is displayed for sale.

A rash is different than hives. Hives ime are like individual welts whereas a rash is more diffuse and has more points of irritation (many small bumps, for example). You can get them both from contact with an irritant or from mental stressors, but they are not the same thing. ime.

Maybe in BrE the technical term “urticaria” is in common parlance

(Australia has the skin version of hives too ftr. "Hickeys" started to take over from "love bites" in the '90s afaik, as with many other slang terms in Hollywood teen movies. no idea what #youths today call them)

We're lessy fussy about stuff like that over here. I'm sure there are regional names for hives, though I still don't really know what hives are... or is.
― I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:51 (four years ago) link
Lucky you who have never had a hive! They are utterly unrelated to hickeys aside from being skin welts visible to the naked eye.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:53 (four years ago) link
I'm sure I have had a hive and I'm sure I just called it a rash!

The NHS apparently calls them hives but I've never heard anyone use that word irl.

so this is a list of colloquial names for skin problems?

i had a period of acute urticaria with some angioedema of the eyes and lips recently. lasted for about 4 weeks, responded to antihistamines, was (seemingly) idiopathic.

People keep butter in the fridge? (Assuming you mean butter that is in the butter dish to be used soon, not backup butter)

I don’t know if people who do that. It would make the butter hard to spread.
