That's not the joke. @fresh_42 posted a link to Facebook which your browser is not displaying.
Yes, I knew that. My response was intended as a joke in itself. But I obviously failed.

I wondered if that was the case.

Note on the office bulletin board.

To the person who stole my anti-depression medication: I hope you're happy now!​

I admire medical people. Especially brain surgeons. You have to take your hat off to them.

I wonder whose idea of a lame joke it was to put this pillar right in, and blocking, one of the sidewalks leading up to our college’s admissions office.
No, it's a clever device to stop moronic pests reaching the admissions office. I think I'll install one of those on my front pathway too.

[Edit:] Or maybe it's to give students some practice with the essential skill of repeatedly banging one's head against brick walls?

@Bystander @fresh_42 I know. But that is not the 'this etymology' I was referring to, as you can readily see by comparing your own links to what @Klystron posted. I don't feel too comfortable with my Latin, since it's been a while since I took it (and only a semester), so I'd be happy to learn that there is a 'mate' verb that means 'kill, murder', or that the word 'deci' means 'tenth' (as opposed to e.g. 'decimus').
I will start being careful when someone calls me 'mate' from now on.

Mate is really good, you should try it. I prefer the smoked variant.
(And yes, I do not like that English doesn't provide a distinction between geräuchert and geraucht. So no jokes please, it is not my fault that English has a gap here.)

well ... that belongs in the thread ... "Today I learned" ... I never knew

of course in Aussie and NZ at least, "mate" would always refer to friend

as in ...


a classic ol Aussie song

What a dreadful night. I dreamt something bit me on the neck.

I even got up to check, but the mirror's not working.

Do you know why they never tortured Bilbo Baggins? A bad Hobbit is hard to break.

Seven reaction options, and still none of them is "groan"...
@Greg Bernhardt: we really, really need that reaction!
