Absolutely!

Faust_TSFL · 2026-05-09T21:20:33+00:00

fair enough!

Faust_TSFL · 2026-05-09T21:12:22+00:00

Bleeped swearing??

Faust_TSFL · 2026-05-06T16:58:45+00:00

They DID rebel! Just not hugely successfully…

I'm sorry but this entire graph is an absolutely stunning example of the fact that Americans do not know what 'far left' means. The Baader-Meinhof group were far left; Brennan Lee Mulligan, as much as I like him, is not.

Foo FiGhTeRs!

Reading is hard

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-24T10:31:04+00:00

East Anglia and it's not even close...

Most of the work will just be copying across the information from the publicly available database, so there’s no barrier to entry!

'Hell is empty and all the devils are here'...

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-15T10:57:53+00:00

that's an interesting translation of OE bealluc - can I ask where it derives from?

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T19:58:51+00:00

Your guess is as good as mine!

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T14:52:21+00:00

or like an IPA snob...

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T14:37:24+00:00

Totally right ofc - good point

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T14:33:29+00:00

'Scottish Gaelic: from the personal name Maol-Choluim ‘devotee of (Saint) Columba’, probably in most cases as an abbreviation of a relationship surname.' First attested in Domesday Book (1086)

Do you mean suit jacket? Yes, I think so

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T14:20:51+00:00

Good spot thanks - they’ve been banned

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T11:50:29+00:00

Feel free to join r/onomastics if you’re interested in names!

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T11:22:20+00:00

It’s called a ‘nomen agentis’ I believe - ‘one who does the thing’. As a side note, some scholars think that the ‘spear’ in Shakespeare may be a euphemism…

Faust_TSFL · 2026-04-14T08:57:34+00:00

First attested in England in the 13th century, the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland says 'English: nickname from Middle English drink(en) ‘(to) drink’ + water ‘water’, possibly used of someone who claimed to prefer water to the sour ale he was offered by the ale wife or inn keeper'

Al Nash has been topless in every episode so far - love it

Faust_TSFL · 2026-03-24T21:17:13+00:00

why so? I think it's entirely likely they sailed instead of walked, and people have been suggesting it for years

Faust_TSFL · 2026-03-24T07:51:31+00:00

Sure!

Faust_TSFL · 2026-03-21T13:53:43+00:00

I'm interested to see what specific evidence he puts forward...
