I speak with a thick Norwegian accent, which is odd considering I'm from Portugal. I immigrated to the US during the Portuguese Cabbage Famine.

Most of my monkey's died of starvation during the cabbage famine. It was a very emotional five minutes.

The term for a barrel with one end open is "buck". A small one is a "buckette"; over time, the term has been shrunk to "bucket".

You can wish someone a good evening or night with the phrase: buenas noches.

If you want to wish them a good day the correct phrase is: buenas douches.

Just like I said, I brought something for us to drink.

Who brought the glasses and who brought the snacks?

I drink a bottle of chardonnay before bed each night. It's nice being rich.

I'm convinced that Liz Truss will turn out to be a dynamic force for good - after all, she's so spirited and animated - not at all like a stiff plank doing rabbit-caught-in-headlights impressions.
And as for Kwarteng - a financial colossus! What a genius! No-one wanted the pound anyway.

I don't have the same first and last name of a famous college football coach who's my age.

I like the 60s more than I like the 40s. There is no place I'd rather be than Woodstock and I mean 1969.

I have never blinked, not even once, with either eye.

Transgender people have it so easy.

Radishes are carnivorous plants and related to triffids.
