  • I don’t get it. There is sooo much bullshit that all these fuckers do that is morally abhorrent, disgusting, and all around gross… How is everyone supposed to keep up with all of it?

    I too normally think of treating doggos the best, I think that’s a good human reaction to have. And that phrase was a nasty one that humans have used for quite awhile, and often does mean the opposite. Outside of use on dog abusers, I would not engage further with someone who used that phrase, and didn’t mean it in a dog positive way (at our house, being treated like the animals, is best treatment!).

    Bet some folks who aren’t in the US, and others who are even, appreciated the reminder on what flavor of shitty she is. Even if it was from rude comments responding to you. It’s just hard to keep up with all of it all the time. I’m sure there is some jackass who will show up in the news tomorrow that I won’t remember what disgusting thing he did or said was, until I’m reminded.



  • I had to go looking, since I was always told the same, in re. German immigrants and blending food habits.

    From Wikipedia:
    Etymology and terminology The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany; however, there is no specific connection between the dish and the city.[4]

    By linguistic rebracketing, the term “burger” eventually became a self-standing word that is associated with many different types of sandwiches that are similar to a hamburger, but contain different meats such as buffalo in the buffalo burger, venison, kangaroo, chicken, turkey, elk, lamb or fish such as salmon in the salmon burger, and even with meatless sandwiches as is the case of the veggie burger.[5]

    The term burger can also be applied to a meat patty on its own. Since the term hamburger usually implies beef, for clarity burger may be prefixed with the type of meat or meat substitute used, as in beef burger, turkey burger, bison burger, or portobello burger. In most English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, a piece of chicken breast in a bun is a chicken burger. Americans would call this a chicken sandwich because the meat is not ground, whereas in other countries, anything with a bun is considered a burger and a sandwich uses other types of bread (sliced bread, baguette…).[6][7][8][9]
