I would expect something labelled tongue to be tongue really. What did you think it was?!

I mean it's literally in the name

Ever wondered why the alphabet is called the alphabet?

The division symbol ÷ is just a fraction. The two dots represent numbers

Mmmmmm..

Several critics have argued that whilst PolitiFact’s style of “fact-checking” purports to adjudicate whether a particular statement is factually true or false it instead launders biased opinion analysis by making non-factual interpretive and judgment calls


Either way .. I rather like the idea .

Etymology
The English word "news" developed in the 14th century as a special use of the plural form of "new". In Middle English, the equivalent word was newes, like the French nouvelles and the German Neues. Similar developments are found in the Slavic languages – namely the Czech and Slovak noviny (from nový, "new"), the cognate Polish nowiny, the Bulgarian novini, and Russian novosti – and in the Celtic languages: the Welsh newyddion (from newydd) and the Cornish nowodhow (from nowydh).[1][2]

The beliefs that "news" is derived from an acronym of the phrase “Notable Events, Weather, and Sports”, or that it is formed from the first letters of the compass (North, East, West, South) are incorrect.[3]

Jessica Garretson Finch is credited with coining the phrase "current events" while teaching at Barnard College in the 1890s.[4]

So my sister just informed me that chip shop sausage is not real sausage, its chicken sausage and I always wondered why it tasted like not sausage but never questioned it any further just assumed chip shop sausage was different but still sausage

Carrot cake is made with carrots unless your lazy and use essence flavouring

Cheese cake is made with cream cheese so it not actually made from like a block of cheese
