I have no issue with Buddhism. But anti-canine language and imagery is another matter.

Today I learned something that's probably obvious to the world but it took me 26 years to learn it...

All geese and ducks sleep with their beaks under their wings.

Home rapid test came up negative again for Covid..... but it feels almost exactly like the Covid I had in June 2021. So I did some research...per Harvard Medicine the rapid test started getting less effective around the Delta variant. What they have in Montreal is a highly contagious sub-version of Omicron.... that and I figure the English speaking Rapid test from America can't interpret the French speaking version from Montreal.... and all I have to say is baguette, croissant, crepes suzette, oui oui

What is the origin of yé-yé?

Yé-yé “of the French rock-’n’-roll culture of the 1960s” is a borrowing from French that, in turn, is adapted from English yeah-yeah. Yeah is a variant of either yea or yes; yea (pronounced as “yey”) comes from Old English gēa “so,” while yes is a compound of gēa and Old English sī “be it.” A similar shift in meaning happened in some Romance languages, with Latin sīc “so” becoming Portuguese sim and Spanish sí “yes.” The process of a borrowed word getting borrowed back into its language of origin is called reborrowing, and another well-known example is how English animation was adapted in Japanese as anime, which was itself borrowed back into English as anime. Yé-yé was first recorded in English in the early 1960s.
