A social experiment! The methaphone served as a portal to opening up the convo about phone addiction and school cell phone bans 🌀

funny, because Occam’s razor originally said, “Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity” (the opposite of what’s described here).
but today we interpret it as, “The simplest explanation is usually correct” (exactly what’s described here).

I loved interviewing Adam Aleksic, editor and creator of @etymology_nerd. Here's a link to the video and transcript of our conversation, along with a few of his gastroetymological infographics! He caught the word bug from The Etymologicon by @Inkyfool.

FISH SAUCES have always been a big way to season food, especially in times when SALT was expensive. Some of these no longer have FISH as an ingredient (SOY, HOISIN, KETCHUP) but the FISHIES linger in their names.
