I was just singing the Happy Days theme song to my boyfriend the other day as we were watching him in Arrested Development.

It's just so weird to specify that jeans are blue outside of a song, but I do a teachers class and in it they're always trying to over-complicate words too. Or find a word so scientifically specific that the majority of English speakers have never heard it used in a conversation with a non doctor. One tried to tell me she had Chondromalacia patella the other day (I had to google it to find the term again). I told her "knee problems" or "knee pain" would be something better and easier to say but no. Naver wins again. She can't even say it, she'll just type it out and be like "this!" and expect someone to be like "oh yeah I know what that is!"I think this week has just been especially bad for people not trusting my word choice o.o

"Ayyyyy" with 2 thumbs up is referenced in so many shows/jokes/etc. He's kind of a meme since before meme's were a thing.They used to play the show on Nick At Night as well

And shame on you for not recognising a ginkgo when you see one!
Quote from: kyndo on September 06, 2017, 01:11:29 pm And shame on you for not recognising a ginkgo when you see one!I know what all of these trees are, I just think it's stupid to name them like that. Like, I'd never seen a gingko tree til I'd come here. So if I was only here for a few weeks and read that, I would have seen a gingko tree without even knowing it. Life would pass me by!
Quote from: flyingspider on September 05, 2017, 02:05:34 pmI've been trying to buy Olympic tickets for an hour now, and it just says, ""좌석 배정중입니다." I'm not sure if the seating actually is in progress or the site has just forgotten about me. Update: After two hours I have a ticket for figure skating and for the opening ceremony!May I ask where did you buy the tickets from? I'm also interested in potentially attending both the opening ceremony and one of the figure skating events.

How much were those tickets?
