On a similar note: Make sure that you specify you’re talking about the computer science when you refer to CNC, and specify the psychiatric practice when you refer to CBT.

I make eyeglasses (wholesale). The number of times in a workday I talk about mounting, edging, finishing, and if something is uncut... man I tells ya.

yea and make sure to specify yarn when looking up fingering weight....

A hump yard is a place to sort/store rolling stock for trains by pushing them over a hill and letting them roll into specific rail lines. Some cars have precious cargo (living quarters, automobiles, fragiles) that would get damaged when it slammed into the other cars, and as such are marked “DO NOT HUMP”

every word out of guillermo del toro’s mouth is the most hardcore thing i’ve ever heard and he says it all so casually like he doesn’t even realize how much of a gothic visionary he is 

Yep, Tolkien's linguistic puns and translation jokes are legendary. Although it's not accurate to say the in-universe origin of the books is that an elf told the stories to Tolkien. Rather, Tolkien is translating them from a volume he found, written in Westron, called the Red Book of Westmarch. This contains Bilbo's book (The Hobbit), Frodo and Sam's additions to it, (LoTR), as well as Bilbo's translations of Elvish histories he encountered during his time in Rivendell (The Silmarillion). These were all in one volume and Tolkien himself made the editorial decision to publish them all separately. Even more fascinating, the Red Book is not even the original writings, which of course would have been lost by now to time and disintegration. It's actually a copy of the original, or probably a copy of a copy, multiple times removed. And it wasn't copied from the original, either, but from a copy that made it to Gondor where it was annotated and corrected. There's probably even more to its history that I'm forgetting, but yeah, even this kind of metatextual provenance was something Tolkien thought a lot about that very few writers even consider anymore. Which, of course, they're not obligated to; but the fact that Tolkien was even interested in that kind of thing just shows how above and beyond he went
