Vocaroo | Voice message OK, OK, I yield to the inevitable. Word of the day is in fact, “covfefe” – ‘a summoning word of fearsome power, never to be used lightly.’ pic.twitter.com/PE4Oc4CPS5 — Robert Macfarlane (@RobGMacfarlane) May 31, 2017 Answered 2017-06-01 [Originally posted on http://quora.com/Can-you-record-yourself-saying-the-word-covfefe/answer/Nick-Nicholas-5]

Another data point: Routinely served to tourists, as an exotic offering. Like crocodile is. Available in gourmet restaurants on occasion, as an exotic offering. I’ve had it two or three times. The last time, in an Ethiopian tagine. Available in supermarkets, but not plentiful in supermarkets. Very plentiful as pet food. Very lean meat, so […]

Are there lesbians because girls are so hot?

Actual lesbians have answered this question, and now, despite my better judgement, so will I. Using the insightful comment of one of their number as a springboard: Molly Juul: https://www.quora.com/Are-there-… The “aesthetically finding women more beautiful”-phenomenon is 100% social. Women are sexualized sooo much in the media, and men are constantly being told that “women […]

Mi tie legis du el la tri gazetoj de la urbo, kaj plendis kiel kutime pri la faŝismo de tiu kiun posedas Rupert Murdoch. […]

As all the other answers have said, there is just too broad a spectrum of views within the American Democrat party for us to speak of an average Democrat. Unless, of course, that is code for “moderate Democrat” or even “blue dog Democrat”. Australia too has two big tent major parties. Labour has a left […]

Where in Australia do most expats from South Africa live?

In my experience, Perth by far. Enough that the South African presence in Perth is very visible: it’s one of the largest ethnic subgroups there. (Perth has not had the same level of Mediterranean or Asian migration as Sydney or Melbourne.) South African restaurants are common there, and very uncommon in Melbourne (though I’ve still […]
