Also, if they throw the dirty cat litter in a bin and don't take it outside, that will stink things up pretty badly.
That causes the worst cat-pee stink. I may be a bad housekeeper, but that's one thing I always do: take the bag of dirty litter outside immediately, even if just gets to the porch and not all the way to the bin. I had a petsitter once who left a week's worth of dirty litter in the trash can in the kitchen. Man, the house reeked when I got home.
eta: not judging or anything, that's like, literally the one thing I always do.
Happy Solstice, everyone.
Yes, indeed, Happy Summer Solstice!
Happy midsummer! As. I said on Facebook, enjoy the light!
The 24 Words That Are Most Known To Only Men Or Women
Mark Brysbaert of the Center for Reading Research conducted a study of the English words most commonly understood specifically be either men or women.
Here is my attempt to use the 12 most common words most understood by men rather than women:
The paladin checked his encryption codecs and the firing solenoids for his dreadnought's mach 2.5 shells as he watched his biped golems pack their kevlar-armored humvees with claymores and hone their scimitars before they set out to fight bolshevism.
So, all tech or military terms.
And here are the words that women recognize, but men generally don't:
(The numbers represent the percentages of men and women who understand them.)
- taffeta (48, 87)
- tresses (61, 93)
- bottlebrush (58, 89)
- flouncy (55, 86)
- mascarpone (60, 90)
- decoupage (56, 86)
- progesterone (63, 92)
- wisteria (61, 89)
- taupe (66, 93)
- flouncing (67, 94)
- peony (70, 96)
- bodice (71, 96)
I appear to be bi-vocabularish. I wonder if there's a Facebook gender assignment for that....
My whole takeaway from that is, "Taffetta, darling."
I know all of the words on the women's list, and most of the ones on the men's list. And the ones on the men's list where I don't know the actual definition, I do know the vague category, like "it's some kind of weapon." (Except solenoid. Had to look that one up.)
