Who Bothered To Look It Up?

Those in the medical establishment pushing their new covid variant “Pirola” must be getting a big chuckle. It turns out the word “pirola” comes from Galician, an old language from the extreme northwestern region of Spain. The meaning of the word: A “cock” or a “dick.”

That’s really funny, if you were a first or second grader!

Politicians and Words

Ever notice how politicians speak for hours, but never really say anything. They have a lexicon all their own. Legendary comedian George Carlin said it best, “It’s fun to listen to Washington talk. They don’t read, they review; they don’t have positions, they take positions; and they don’t give advice, they make recommendations.” Carlin breaks down Washington speak in this episode of Zoosolo Mo Hambone.

Or instead of “a muster of peacocks,” how about “a bathroom of peacocks?” In this episode of Pleated-Jeans, check out some other names that fit groups of animals.
