GUTTING A QUART POT. Taking out the lining of it: i. e. drinking it off. Gutting an oyster; eating it. Gutting a house; clearing it of its furniture. See POULTERER.

A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

@TheVulgarTongue @histodons This one surprises me. Would have thought "to gut" was an old term. Maybe it was only just being applied to things that weren't animals being dressed for food?

@mythologymonday @archaeodons @mythology @folklore @TarkabarkaHolgy @juergen_hubert @curiousordinary @wihtlore @FairytalesFood @bevanthomas @FinnFolklorist @Godyssey @GaymerGeek @starrytimepod I took my daughter and her best friend to the Getty Museum in Santa Monica. Both Percy Jackson nuts, so we did their Percy Jackson tour.

Watching the two 12 year olds have an absolute blast naming the Gods off the Greek Vases was amazing. Far far better than me.

Mom. It's Asclepius, not Hermes. His staff has 1 snake, no two, so it isn't the cacaduceus.

BO-PEEP. One who sometimes hides himself, and sometimes appears publicly abroad, is said to-play at bo-peep. Also one who lies perdue, or on the watch.

A pack horse librarian delivering books in rural Kentucky in 1938. During the Great Depression, the Pack Horse Library Project was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program in which the librarians, who were often called "book women" or "book ladies," delivered books to remote parts of Appalachia.

@mostaurelius @bookstodon I'm an engineer and that "foundation" is one of the most unnerving things I've ever seen.

@tomkindlon @chronicillness @spoonies @disability @mecfs @longcovid I use a battery analogy.

For normal people, they charge their phone overnight and use it all day. Getting near the end of their charge near bed time.

For me, it'd a bad battery that acts up. Sometimes I can unplug for a few minutes or even a few hours. Some days I can't even use my phone plugged in, because it is at 1% and won't charge.

In like the concept of borrowing tomorrow's energy.
