Are some Americans taking their cue from China?

Yeah, this was, if I remember correctly, a 1963 MGB. I was also amused by the trunk being referred to as "the boot".

And the hood is a bonnet.

I could swear we've had this conversation before.

Yes, I'm having a deja vu all over gain, still.

As opposed to vuja de?

I was sure this wasn't the psychotherapy ward.

Many years ago when British programming was popular on my local public broadcasting station (Doctor Who, All Creatures Great and Small, Are You Being Served?, Fawlty Towers, and so on). one of the gifts they offered during a fund raising drive was a book explaining British words, phrases, and idioms to help US audiences understand what the heck all these Brits were saying.

Vuja de is the feeling of having experienced something before, but didn't.

It's a thread started by H_A - is not that the same thing?

I remember an episode of Dick VanDyke, and he had been to London. He was explaining to his staff when he got back about all the different terms they use.

Then he picked up a chair, and ask, "and guess what they call this! --- a CHAIR!"

Oooh. MeTv just ran the Duck Dodgers and Superduck ones a couple of days ago.

Roku's Cartoon TV has about 100 of Merry Melodies. I start my morning with cartoon at breakfast, just like I did when I was a kid.

Childhood is more fun the second time around.

As Jacques observes in the second half of his well-known speech.

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything

Shakespeare really did seem to have a line [or few] for all of humankind [and its various follies].

So, are we ready to close this Texas Bounty Hunter Thread?

[Darth Executor]

Perhaps twenty one deaths at at Uvalde are also "rookie numbers" along with the fifty eight at Las Vegas, the twenty seven at Sandy Hook, and the thirty two at Virginia Tech [to name just a few of US atrocities].

What do those have to do with abortion?

But yes, they are also rookie numbers compared to the abortion holocaust.

You are arguing with someone who has declared several times that all atrocities are equal. The Holocaust was no worse than My Lai.
