Do any of you know what I would give to read Nautica's essays on transgressive folklore? Cybertronian symbology and etymology? Moral philosophy? This panel is such a tease. She has all my special interests, I want to know more.

Beatrix Potter's Tailor of Gloucester "sat in the window of a little shop in Westgate Street, cross-legged on a table, from morning till dark."

The sartorius muscle (Latin "sartor" = tailor) allows tailors to sit in this cross-legged position as they sew.

British Columbia is named after the Columbia River. The river is after the 1st US ship to circumnavigate the globe in 1790 called the Columbia Rediviva. She was for the personification of the N.America (later US alone), who was after Christopher Columbus. That's a lotta etymology

Sakusa Kiyoomi - 佐久早 聖[臣] - Omi - Minister

I liked the pairing etymology. The style bears semblance to a famous webtoon; I've never read it and the similarity is unintentional. Atsumu doesn't deserve that comparison! https://t.co/HqP6N2pcft

The vomer is a thin, delicate bone which sits in the midline of the nasal cavity, separating it into two halves.
The of the vomer is a bit of a journey. The name is adapted from the latin 'vomere', which means quite literally 'to vomit'.

One proposed etymology of 'nosferatu' is that the term originally came from the Greek 'nosophoros', meaning 'disease-bearing'. F. W. Murnau's 'Nosferatu' (1922) strongly emphasizes this theme of disease, and suggests an association with the Spanish Flu that had ravaged Europe.

Sophomore. In a string of garbled etymology, sophomore quite literally means "arguer." Which is fun, since many argue- in a similarly dull etymological sort of way- that it is the combination of "wise" and "foolish."
