In the 1985 film Return to Oz, Dorothy is subjected to psychiatric abuse for her “delusions” of Oz.
Omaha the Cat Dancer started in 1978, dude.
Chicken breast is the blandest part of chicken because it contains so little fat, and so much of the flavor of meats is carried in the fat.
Get some skin-on chicken thighs, salt them, and roast them in the oven. I assure you there will be more flavor there than in skinless chicken breast.
There are some fishes, like tilapia and halibut, that are about as mild in flavor as chicken breast.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Did Honky-Tonk come from the word Honky or did Honky come from Honky-Tonk?
2·il y a 3 moisHomonyms do sometimes have completely unrelated etymologies, like with the word “Pussy” meaning coward, and being a slang term for the vulva. The cowardly definition came from a shortening of the word “Pusillanimous,” while the slang term came from women being compared to cats.
“Pussy” in the sense of “female genitals” is more likely related to “purse”, referring to the vagina’s pocket-like shape; and “pussy” in the sense of “weakling” is either ordinary misogyny or a reference to a kitten’s helplessness.
(And “pussy” for an actual cat is related to words for “cat” in some other European languages, like Romanian pisică; which ultimately come from the pss-pss call that is effective at getting a cat’s attention.)
If you want a funny etymological example though, take a look at the word “cleave”. In modern English it has two opposed meanings: “cling together” and “split apart”. This is because it was two different verbs in Old English, cleofan (the “split” meaning, related to “clove” and “glyph”) and clifian (the “cling” meaning, related to “clay” and “glue”)!

Criticize the critical voice right back.
“Hey, brain, if you’re gonna make a diss track about me, learn to rhyme better. Your rhymes suck. I mean seriously, ‘incel’ and ‘Metamucil’? Dude. ‘Pencil’ was right there. Or ‘skin cell’. Hey, that could even be a pun, like, you’re gonna be an incel, dick like a pencil, trapped in the hell of a thin-skinned skin cell. Come on, do better.”

and there’s no Stalin in the “Marxist-Leninist”.
“Marxism-Leninism” is Stalinists’ preferred term for their political ideology. They endorse the genocidal tyranny of Stalin, while claiming that Stalin’s tyranny is justified by Lenin’s and Marx’s theory.
If someone calls themselves a “Marxist-Leninist”, just ask what they think of Stalin’s genocides (plural). Then stand back.
