@FelixHagan In New Zealand, a cheerio is universally known to be a specific type of small, red-skinned sausage. They come pre-cooked, and you just heat them up in hot water or in the microwave. They’re served at parties, in a bowl accompanied by tomato sauce.
They taste as good as they look.

This, in my opinion, is a Very Good Joke.

So embarrassing in an antique shop when I tried to buy a vase and it turned out to be the negative space between the faces of two other customers

In an era where Twitter doesn't do much right, I have to say I love what they've done when you press the 'like' button, to celebrate Valentine's Day.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that a Finnish version of “they're a few sandwiches short of a picnic” is hänellä ei ole kaikki muumit laaksossa. It means “they don't have all the Moomins in the valley”

Anyone can roll up a booklet or pamphlet into a funnel shape but to play it like a trumpet you need to perfect your embrochure.

Your embrochure.

I created the best Zoom video background today. It's a video of the room I'm in and every few minutes, I open the door, see that I'm on a call, and leave.

It's so subtle that only a few people picked up on it during my last meeting.

@MooseAllain Similarly, in NZ we have this simple yet firm rule for the appropriateness of wearing skin-tight swimming togs in public.

If you can see the water: togs.
If you can’t see the water: undies.
