In some parts of Sweden, we have something called "björkdragning" (birch pulling) to celebrate a wedding. A birch is cut down and a figures are cut from this tree and set up at the house of the male or the female and of course these figures have to accentuate fertility.
One would expect “inflammable” to be the opposite of “flammable” but it doesn’t!!!
Flammable means it can be set on fire. Inflammable means it can spontaneously combust. So “inflammable” is actually more dangerous!
Of course we Americans got this language from some other folks. So one might expect them to get this right!

Discogs is my friend. Plenty of media stillout there.Great. You can add “CD player” to the list of things requiring an account and login, unique password and an effing subscription to be able to use. Lightens the hell out of my mood (ears flat, eyes like slits, claws showing).
