When a fanfic writer describes someone carding their fingers through someone's hair, that's the most discordant in my mind. Carding is rough, and quick, and sometimes messy (my wool is full of debris, even after lots of washing). The teeth of my cards are densely packed and scratchy. But maybe that's my error, not the writer's. Before cards were invented, wool was combed with wide-toothed combs, and sometimes, in point of fact, with fingers. The verb "to card" (from Middle English) may actually be older than the tools I use, archaic as they are. And I say may, because I can't find a definitive history. People forget, even when the language remembers.

You!!! You get it!! And it's not just these phrases it's every word that has passed through the mouths of thousands of people before me going back thousands of years in a thousand different forms and now I'm just SAYING IT like that's NORMAL. language is the living and embodied collective memory of whole societies that no longer exist!!!
