As far as I can tell.... there are very few foods not meant for bears

I have quite a few items for your next meal courtesy of the internet: Bears eat a large range of insects and worms, using their sticky tongues to sweep up the unlucky bugs. A bear's favorite insects include ants, grubs, grasshoppers, beetle larvae, moths, earthworms and caterpillars.

I read one of the words as "earworms".

What is the origin of abseil?
Abseil “to descend down an incline by means of a rope” is a borrowing of German abseilen, which is a compound of ab- “down” and seilen “to rope.” Because German and English are related, German ab- is a cognate of English of and off; this makes German Ablaut, which refers to the vowel change in the verb singsangsung, equivalent to English off loud. However, German seilen does not have a relative in modern standard English. Old English had sāl “rope,” but this survives today only in dialectal English as sole “a rope for tying up cattle.” Abseil was first recorded in English in the early 1930s.

Don't blame me. The internet, that cosmic source of wisdom conveyed knowledge to me which I properly relayed to those in need.

A slacker is one who uses Slack. And it's also an integral part of the Church of the SubGenius. Get with the program. Sheesh.
