Those are the ones! It’s quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

Amazing, thank you for that. There’s so much that’s fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

Fake news. This is a fossil chip that these men dug up. Chips back in the Doracic era could grow much bigger due to the higher oxygen content of the air at the time.

It all makes so much sense now!

Legitimately, that sounds fascinating, go on.

In the UK we still use Tories as a nickname for the conservative party, one of the two main parties in our political system and a kind of pound store republican party. They do indeed still feign royalism when it suits their purposes, some things never change.

Saw some of these on a pumpkin stall the other day, didn’t realise they supported the nefarious poaching trade #sadtimes
