I also think the use of scooby, for clue is a great example that shows how dynamic this form of slang is - it isn't all from the days of cockney barrow boys, this stuff just sticks.

Over the weekend I learned that Lil' Griff's roommate thinks we're hippies. At least we're not dirty hippies...

Ha! I can see that. I mean, you live on a commune and do your own stuff.

One.. uh, two of the hippies who matured without selling out, rare as hen's teeth.

Today I learned that a cobbler does not build new shoes. A cobbler repairs old shoes, and/or builds shoes out of old leather. The person who makes new shoes out of new leather is called a cordwainer.

Oh so that's what a cordwainer does. I see it listed sometimes as an occupation in enlistment records and for some reason have never googled it. I knew it involved working with leather - because of references in trials to thefts of leather from cordwainers - but didn't know it was a shoemaker (mostly I think they just referred to them as shoemakers in the court records, because I've only seen cordwainer a handful of times).

I knew a cobbler only repaired shoes, but I've never heard of a cordwainer. thanks. (now coming to a scrabble game near you... one day.)

Today I learned that sugar is not soluble in ALCOHOL - AT ALL. This is making my limoncello recipe changes very difficult to address. I have been making limoncello from an old recipe for some time now. I am trying to make it clearer (less opague is that correct?) Now what do I do? Methinks I will further decrease the sugar. What do you all think - Does it being cloudy alter your opinion of it at all? I've actually inquired with a local distillery and ... who knows. I'd love to get some feedback

Classic, any limoncello I have ever had has been cloudy. I don't think people care do they? It's about the flavour.

See, that's my point. Most of them are sickeningly sweet and cloudy like there's cream in it or something. I made a batch a couple weeks ago and it came out clear. I'm not really sure why. I THINK I did everything the same... Now I want to replicate that as it was clearly my best batch!
