The origin of "chef" as an English word to mean "one who cooks" comes from the French term chef de cuisine, a title still used in restaurants to this day to denote a cook in a managerial role. What makes this an interesting bit of etymology is that while in English, "chef" is only ever used in the context of cooking and restaurants, in French chef just means "chief", "head" or "leader" and there are many common titles in French that include this word.

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

happy “she throws it. I fire. it explodes. no structural damage! only damage to the creature. that’s how I see it going down” week by the way everyone

ill never and i mean NEVER get over the lilac as a metaphor for the watch. one of the first things vimes does in night watch is smell lilacs and remember. lilac went together with the song of the fallen. once a lilac tree is planned it will give rise to hundreds of other lilacs. a hundred members in the watch where there were only three a few years back. the good old days fading like lilac. the hold of the watch over the city growing weaker and weaker with each year after the revolution. remember the smell of lilac? you thought about those who died. lilac was common in the city. it was vigorous and hard to kill and had to be. there was nothing he could do about the big stuff. lilac was going to bloom.
