I really don't want to see the words fungus and breakfast in the same sentence. flashbacks to China, where the menus always included "edible fungus" as the translation for whatever mushroom was in the recipe. The first pizza I bought in Rome had “fungi” in the name. I figured correctly that it had mushrooms.

I remember my Italian heritaged students at George Harvey using the term "fungu", but I don't think that they were talking about mushrooms.

Article in the SMH on public transport usage post Covid lockdowns.
It has led to midweek travellers becoming known as TWATS, an acronym for people who commute on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, while working other weekdays at home.
I am left wondering if the subeditor did not know the other uses for that word, or decided to be cheeky and slip it in to see if people realised?

It was a favourite sport of BillandBen, who tried to get "My Little Pony" into a headline when the horsemeat scandal was going on in the UK, but his boss spotted it.

On the flight back, I helped out my seat mate when he lost his phone--all in French. VEry pleased with myself.
5 minutes before landing, we discovered that we were both anglophone Canadians. Both thinking the other was French.

By complete coincidence pero and I came up with near-matching outfits today: brown jeans, white KALX radio station t-shirts, tan plaid Patagonia flannel shirts.
The funniest part to me is that none of these items are exactly the same, just the same-ish, like his tan flannel shirt has a purple stripe while mine has a blue stripe, his white KALX shirt is from a couple years ago while mine is last year’s, etc

we went for a hike, and I was mentally mocking all the people who managed to carry out full cans of coke but not carry empty cans back. Then, 10 minutes from the end, discovered that one of the big plastic things had fallen off my walking poles somewhere within the last 3 miles...

last night I went in to my neighbours to hook up the garden hose to the sink--while she's on holiday. The cat sitter was there.
neither of us was expecting the other. It was a few minutes before we worked out that the house wasn't being burgled.

Sorry for the parochialism, but this may really only make sense to Strayans.
