Just wait till you know the etymology of mastodon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon

Edit to save a click: "A mastodon, (from Ancient Greek μαστός (mastós), meaning "breast, and ὀδούς (odoús) "tooth")"

Edit 2: the "mast" in "mastodon" is the same one as in "mastectomy"

Nope, that's Latin ;)

Fun fact: in Spaniard's Spanish "estar constipado" means "to have a cold".

There's a Spanish saying for that: "dime de qué presumes y te diré de qué careces"

Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack.

English language learner here. Would "let alone" basically have the same meaning than "not to mention"?

I asume you mean "in the USA"? I mean, there are many countries in which life sentence isn't a thing.

Respond super excited, like when you meet someone who shares the same niche hobby than you: "I like girls too! So tell me, what have you found to be the best technic to eat pussy?"

Maybe this would be a good asklemmy

 

SOLVED So the tv show was City on a Hill, starred by Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge.

The characters I described were played by Amanda Clayton (Rob A’s wife), Mark O’Brien (Punchable brother) and Jonathan Tucker (Rob A).

PS: I found it just browsing throw IMDB, checking the casts of tv shows similar to The Wire and trying once and again.

ORIGINAL POST:

What I am about to tell may be a “side story” and not the main plot of the series.

There is a robbery of an armored vehicle. During the robbery the robbers kill the vehicle’s guards. One of the robbers (Rob A) has a wife and daughter(s). He also has a brother who is a bit of a loose cannon. The thing is, the loose cannon brother gets in trouble with the police and tries to sign up for the next heist Rob A is planning so he can snitch.

Other info: Rob A is married and has a daughter or two, and when he’s not robbing banks he has a job at a supermarket (or some other sort of retailer job). They lead a middle-class family life. Rob A’s wife owns a hairdresser.

I don’t remember the name of any of the actors, nor any other series or movies they’ve worked on.

EDIT: for example, this could be a side story of The Wire or The Shield, but checking their casts in IMDB doesn’t ring any bell.

EDIT2: Chatgpt and alike weren’t of any help with this one.

EDIT3: Rob A and his wife hide the cash from the robberies behind a mirror in their home. Also, the mood of the series is quite dark: similar to The Wire or The Shield.
