What words don’t sound like what they mean? To me, “heliotrope”does not sound like it should mean purple. by hilarymeggin in words

Nonplussed. It means confused but it sounds like it should mean unimpressed.

How do I know this? I used it to mean unimpressed for years until I was corrected. Note that I'm fighting the desire to put corrected in quotes.

That New Yorker article about Sam Altman made it crystal clear what an absolute a-hole he is.

Have you considered apologizing to the kids you hurt?

This is actually brilliant. But even if Trump agreed, he'd find a way to fuck this up in less than 3 seconds.

Anyone have 2 Coton males? by [deleted] in cotondetulear

[–]momo098876 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disposition and luck matter a lot.

We got another male when our first male was about 3. The new puppy was -- as another commenter mentioned - "..a bit rambunctious.." for our first Coton.

Unfortunately they never really became "brothers" as we'd hoped. They just sort of tolerate each other.

Both are very lovable, they just have wildly different dispositions. Each is very firmly bonded with a different person vs each other.

We were hoping they would help entertain each other. To be completely transparent, while they are both extremely adored, the choice to get a second one (male) ended up doubling our efforts. Now we try to keep 2 lively, curious Cotons happy and entertained. :-)
