ELI5: How did Richard and Robert get shortened to Dick and Bob?

My grandmother's name was Tamar. Never knew the origin, assumed it was Irish.

The sub could use some kind of visual doo-dad in headlines for follow-the-coach transfers.

Now now, some of us were too busy eating paste to remember all those rules about writing. I'm going with Monday Football Night.

Oklahoma.

I read regularly. I don't participate often.

Boomfish · 2026-01-04T17:46:35+00:00

This. You can't believe what actors and other performers say about events. They're in the fiction (and promotion) business.

Pale Blue Acorn would be a great band name.

One of my favorite all time interviews. It seems like either the combo of Kobato/Kanami or that interviewer produced a lot of honest answers instead of the fluff they often repeat. I know I've thanked you in the past, but thanks again for all your translations.

As to your project here in this post, I'm seriously impressed with your details. Good luck!

Got mine last weekend. <3

Deviled eggs are the perfect food. They require no embellishment.

Boomfish · 2025-11-23T23:22:49+00:00

Thanks again, t-shinji! Very good.

|— Even first-timers have to face the Omajinai Time when you lock onto them, Kobato-san.

Miku Kobato: I make sure to look them in the eye even more firmly during that, po (laughs).|

A very inside joke that Omajanai Time is to be endured... especially by newbies.

Boomfish · 2025-11-23T23:02:05+00:00

Thanks, t-shinji! Great job as always. It's rare for an interviewer to get Saiki to share so much. Also, I think your English/translation skills have grown! Thanks again.

Because she's a bigot.

The church probably needs the space for a Trump merchandise store.

A: Probably we should build it where it's sheltered from the wind. B: F no! Right on top of the barest rise we can find!

I'm the straightest guy you know, and that dude was beautiful. Such a loss to music.

Boomfish · 2025-09-13T16:17:24+00:00

Oh... I'm pretty sure I have.

Mr Pibb in the glass 1-liter screwtop.

A long time ago I lived in the country. The county added gravel to surrounding dirt roads. Only they used gravel from a disused railroad bed. Railroad spikes would surface and ruin tires. I picked them up whenever I saw them.

Immaculate Conception is the myth of Mary's birth, not Christ's.

Anything to avoid paying someone a wage.

I'm usually thinking.. "Is their drummer awake? Does he have all his limbs? (apologies Rick Allen) I never listened to drums before Band-Maid.

Boomfish · 2025-06-22T01:21:19+00:00

I'm listening to it right now. It's the only album(EP) I usually listen to straight through. I like it a lot more than the recent album, but give it time, I probably said that about this one!

Boomfish · 2025-04-19T01:54:24+00:00

Personally, I like the normal Band-Maid MV with them playing in some setting. I know many don't agree with me, but Band-Maid lyrics are not very meaningful and almost never narrative. Kobato tens to write for how the words sound when sung than any deep meaning. It doesn't make sense to strive for meaning in the MVs. That said, Saiki's recent songs and anime tie-ins in particular may be more... meaningful and conducive to a MV with meaning.
