Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
The cafeteria had cornmeal porridge this morning.
Is this a different thing than grits?

Grits are coarser than cornmeal.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is this a different thing than grits?
Yes, though I could not tell you precisely why.
Grits are white and (I believe) cooked with water. My porridge is yellow and has sugar, cinnamon sticks, and milk.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, I wonder if you are conflating prodigal and profligate?
I am in such a foul mood. mr. flea just got back from 8 days in Belgium and France, and next Tuesday leaves for 4 nights again. He told me it was the 10-12th, so I reasonably assumed 2 nights. 4 nights is double that (it is actually 9th-13th). Grrr.

I don't understand. They share a meaning. I didn't conflate them, English did.

2. Diamonds Are Not The Hardest Substance on Earth
Not no more, anyway....
Yeah, but the only thing that's harder is also pure carbon that's been heated and put under extreme pressure. I say it's still just a diamond, only tougher and fuglier than usual. It's the dock-side hooker diamond.

Well, dictionary English, yes, but in US usage that I see, prodigal is almost always used in the "prodigal son" sense, and the profligate nature of the prodigal is elided, with emphasis on "he was unspecifically bad, and then he came back and was accepted".
