Buffy ,'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Why is rare stake called "rare"? "well done" is relatively self-explanatory, but I don't understand how "rare" = "closer to the uncooked end of the scale than the well-cooked end."
According to www.etymonline.com, the cooking meaning is from Old English hrer while the other kind is from Latin rarus.
Well, we have a chain Morton's (I think we have more than one) but then there's also Morton's on Melrose, which is like a big Hollywood power lunch scene.
It's very confusing.
A true friend will happily send you naked pictures of people you know.
True that.
What's weird is that I'm totally into raw beef when they call it carpaccio, but not so much with the rare steak. I think it's about the slicing.
OED has a version of rare deriving from a form of rear which can mean early. So maybe that's it. Rare cooked=take it up early.
eta: ok, so oed was not helpful.
I am eating a KFC lunch. Mmmm.... corn on the cob....
