Guarantee most people have heard some of it, even if they don't know it.

Reply to comment by niamhweking in TIL Queen Sophie of the Netherlands’ marriage with King William was so turbulent that when she died, she was buried in her wedding dress because she viewed her life ended on the day she got married. by AsianInvasian93
For us it took probably a couple of years to get to the point where I would call us friends, but up to then we were at least able to get along. I think the fact that we're both 100% devoted to our daughter helped a lot.
And I feel exactly like you in regards to holding on to spite and anger. I saw so many people in divorce cases who would do virtually anything to hurt the other party, even if they caused themselves even more problems in the process. I never understood why anyone would just choose to be an asshole like that.

Same here. I used to practice law, and crazy ass divorce clients were a big part of the reason I was miserable enough to quit. My ex wife and I didn't exactly get along great around the time of our divorce, but there was never any of that childish fighting, using the kid as a pawn, or any of that other bullshit. It was a pretty amicable split, and we're actually good friends now.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL the BBC released a 'Green Book' in 1949 to define comedy guidelines. Among some of the banned topics were jokes about fig leaves and vulgar use of the word 'basket'. by morecharts
It's a curse word in the US, too, but a mild one like damn or hell. At least in my part of the US.

Reply to comment by hastur777 in TIL about the "Raines sandwich;" an inedible piece of "food" that served as a way to bypass prohibition laws. by Alabussy
In my town a certain percentage of total sales have to be food. I always wondered how an establishment can really even control that, but I guess they make it work somehow.
