Not having the initials DJT is probably a good start.

I can't see why if a person has talent and they choose not to use it that it should be anyone else's business but there's

I don't suppose it's worth buying crampons for the two days worth of ice we get here per year

Etymology
Dutch dialect pappekak, literally, soft dung, from Dutch pap pap + kak dung


And it is one word, not two.
I like the literal Dutch meaning, if I read that correctly - soft dung. :lmao:

Oh this is a fantastic word! I'll have to use it more :)

Getting mildly scatological:

Show Spoiler
Cáca in Irish is cake and I have a small moment of dissonance each time I hear it because kaka is 'faeces' in SO many Indo-European languages:

Quote:
Probably a Lallwort of imitative/expressive origin. Calvert Watkins claimed in particular: "imitative of glottal closure during defecation".

Calvert Watkins :heart: my hero.

Returning to Irish soft is bog.

So I think we we could have cáca bog for poppycock.

(We don't. But we could!)

I'm not sure I can ever think of cake the same way. I will use this knowledge for good, and not be ornery by asking the cooking side of my two friends if she has any cáca from of the grands half or whole birthdays.
Okay, I told my friends about cáca. I learned that Krumkake is curved cake. The thought of Crumb Cake returned my interest and faith to cake.

Cake.

How come we had to wear a PE kit when doing exercise at school but we didn't have to have a PE kit to play outside at recess, even though a lot of us still ran about and climbed and stuff?

If I know you rely on some small thing to secure a month's worth of food, I will make sure you have it, if I can. Whether I know you or not. How could it be otherwise? WTF is wrong with people?
