Euh, wouldn’t sell in Brasil

Don’t know if I’m repeating myself, but every time I see this, it makes me laugh – ‘lambe’ means ‘lick’ in portuguese.
Neighbour’s gift for Jippo
Neighbour’s gift for Jippo

Deer hunting season in Finland. My neighbour thought my dog would love a raw joint. Eh, don’t think so. At least my dog was kind enough not to snatch it out of my hand as soon as she sniffed it. She was also cautious, as the scent must be strong. I wish the neighbour had offered me some meat, instead. 🙁

It’s hard to escape your heritage. This is a British breakfast. Contrast with a French or Finnish breakfast. And, yes, I am pigging out. It’s not often I am presented with such fare.

Tired words: Content
Where did this one come from?
Content – This word just seems insufficient and ambiguous (it can be a noun or adjective). It’s so clinical and sterile. Ok, so it’s in the same category as ‘media’, but ‘media’ is a word I happen to like, is attached to nice things,and is soft and round. Kontent is not really a Kingly word, isn’t a word that is used in any regular context outside of some industry-speak, and isn’t really something that lends itself to writing, such as these not so smooth phrases: ‘download content to phone’ (yes, quite happy) or ‘manage your contents’ (my bowels?) or ‘user generated content’ (sounds like a disease). I think it’s just our own laziness, to lump so much into this word.
