I actually almost missed class one time because of a site tournament I was in, after which I learned not to blindly enter a game without checking how long I have until my next class XD

Ooh, I actually know this one! The phrase “flip the bird” actually comes from a late 19th century slang phrase “give the big bird,” which more or less meant to hiss like a goose (the big bird) while someone was on stage.

The part I had no idea about was that a famous baseball player had his picture taken with his middle finger up (which has been an insult in some variation since we’ve had fingers) and someone connected the two.

Also: the subtle bird will permanently be added to my vocab.

I’ve had the Tetris from actual Tetris, the MOHAA where I would continue to hear the rain out of my headset and IRL and the FPS in general where I would see the heartbeat GUI (?) when I closed my eyes.

… I guess I have a predisposition. :woman_shrugging:
