-=Ed's been out all day collecting apples. There are more than five huge crates by the house, and two of them are over flowing. And Ed's dragging another tarp over to the third crate, huffing and dragging and finally he drops it. This is going to happen all week, so Ed is going to be more than a little scarce=-



Apples. Everywhere, apples. And not one cinnamon tree. -=He doesn't seem upset about that part.=-


-=Then he looks up to the sky.=- A nutmeg tree would have been nice!

/threadjack omg I'm so sorry for him

Technically humans were not originally Neanderthals despite crossbreeding.

Wow, really? Well, thank you. I'm so glad you told me! Now I can use that information to do absolutely nothing!

You could use it to avoid being incorrect on this subject in the future.

Oh, you're right! Because of all things here, it's most important to be correct about in insult.

[...Donna should really chill on the whole "kinda sorta really abusive sometimes" thing. She really should.]

It's a figure of speech, darling.

The Sun revolved around the Earth for thousands of years before a specific scientist with a telescope discovered differently. You must allow the human race their little nuances of incorrect science. Not all of us can be as well-informed.

When it's recognized to be incorrect usage shouldn't continue, even as a colloquialism.

What would be the point of colloquialisms if half of them weren't incorrect?

Live dangerously, Castiel. Toss around a few incorrect metaphors once in awhile. I assure you, the thrill is worth it.

Cleverness or diversity in speech, presumably. However almost all fail the former qualification.

I found that unlikely.

There's a simple joy in being silly.

[River grins a little.]

And I can be quite clever without the occasional wrong metaphor, so I don't think that's it.
