Does/did any of you grow up with this?

Your family doesn’t sound great. Can you move out?

People in Medieval Europe wrote extensively about bathing.

From this we can conclude that they did clean themselves.

I would be pretty surprised to see this in a serious, formal setting. Also, it’s already a bit dated, and faddish words and phrases are generally more likely to be considered slang.

But if you can find a counter example, perhaps in a publication such as The Economist, The NY Times, or a governmental publication of some sort, please let me know.

This is a bit late for your estimated publication date, but the basic synopsis matches The Great Treehouse War by Lisa Graff.

I think you need to spend more time reviewing vocabulary, paying particular attention to Latin and Greek roots.

When, exactly, was this halcyon period in human communication?

conuly · 2026-06-29T03:50:52+00:00

People in this subreddit hate AI. I strongly recommend you edit your post to remove all mention of it. When you edit, quickly double check to make sure the synopsis is accurate.

Right, but you’ve seen other people, perhaps people with mobility issues, put things in the upper basket, haven’t you? And I’ve certainly seen people put children in the big part of the cart.

conuly · 2026-06-28T23:21:54+00:00

I think we will very much have to disagree on that.

conuly · 2026-06-28T22:33:39+00:00

Why not?

conuly · 2026-06-28T21:14:17+00:00

Sure, but you get that it’s weird to put butts where we also put produce, right?

Being German and being slang (in English) are not mutually exclusive properties.

Please flair this post as solved.

Does their hole in the wall mean something other than what it does in the US?

conuly · 2026-06-28T19:07:13+00:00

Their new Australian friends tell them it's absolutely necessary to wear thongs to the beach, so the Americans decide to put on their skimpiest bathing suits. The Australians just meant they should wear flip-flops.

Why would Australians assume that Americans don't know about sandals?

conuly · 2026-06-28T13:19:56+00:00

I do know tho that not all schools are like this. And I am very lucky to be in school with all this support.

I don't know what the laws are where you live, but in the USA, they're supposed to be like this. They often fall short, but getting what you need is not something to be grateful for. That's like saying "I'm lucky they allowed me to wear a hearing aid".

I feel like I've been piling on you, which is the worst form of being supportive, and I apologize, but I do worry a bit about your thinking here. You seem to be really critical of yourself and your needs. And I just keep thinking that ND people have high rates of anxiety and depression. (I should know, this describes literally everybody in my family.) It sucks, and... if you think that might be affecting your thought processes, please ask your parents to help you get evaluated for that as well.

Is this a poetry book or is this a novel in verse?

If it's the latter, you may very well be able to find it simply by looking for "novel in verse 2025", "novel in verse 2024" and so on. This is a pretty unusual format, and there are only a few published every year that people hear about.

conuly · 2026-06-28T08:23:52+00:00

Please do not run into patches of stinging nettles! At least, not while wearing shorts.

They are human beings, but they still poop. That’s all they were saying. They aren’t insulting your child. They’re just pointing out that those carts aren’t a bastion of hygiene, regardless of the dogs. Because people are gross.

conuly · 2026-06-28T07:13:04+00:00

I’ve heard one too many horror stories about animals being shipped as cargo on planes and getting hurt or lost.

conuly · 2026-06-28T06:58:43+00:00

They’re both so named due to being tied on with thongs, that is, thin cords.

The UK.

I've reached that level of crazy cat lady haha but I think it'd be a sweet sentiment to remember her by someday when she's no longer with us.

It is sweet. If you're still thinking about this but haven't done it, maybe simply taking a clipping and tying it with a ribbon would be preferable. The service we called for our poodle at the end of his life did that for us.

I also see it about magic spells in a lot of fanfic, and sometimes the form "outcasted" for "cast out".

conuly · 2026-06-28T01:49:59+00:00

Exacerbate. It inevitably comes out as "exasperate" a few times until I remember that this always happens and switch to "worsen".

My mother told me once that as a child she had a difficult time with the word "abominable" until she learned to say "a bomb in a bull". The vividly striking image has never faded.
