Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Tbh is was kinda stoking the fire here, in jest I must add, I'm not dying on any hill.

As someone most familiar with the French language and culinary tradition I found it funny that 'Hors d'oevre' is more used in US cuisine and then Entree, whereas in France entree/plats is used most. I was really surprised when I learned of the US use.

And then I realised there was a simliar issue with the ground floor thing, and revelled in the relisation that that contains an 'entry/entré' double layer in that one as well.

So lets just celebrate the wonderous diversity in language and how that comes to be. Lets on e day eat a French entrée and after that an US one, whlist seated near the entrance on the first/ground level of a building. <3
