Why does sour cream need an expiration date?


Is there a legitimate answer to this? Can sour cream go bad?

It is, in my opinion, the most underrated condiment.

Why do we drive on the parkway, and park on the driveway?

Why is the plural of potato potatoes and the plural of tomato tomatoes? Why do we add an "e"?

The French word for potato is "la pomme de terre", which literally translates to "apple of the earth/ground." Of all the words the English language borrowed from the Norman Invasion they somehow skipped one of the best and kept the hideous sounding "potato" that, as you pointed out, has a needlessly irregular plural form.

I'm impressed, America. Seriously. :lol:

There are only about nine or ten words like potatoes and tomatoes--echoes, vetoes, and a few more. There are a couple of related rules (if I remember correctly), but you're right when you say they are "needlessly irregular."

She stopped getting me hard, so I switched to Latino.

In fairness to them, you probably suffer from whatever ailment Danny Glover made a public service announcement about a while back.

DePaul used to offer a class in wine tasting and a class in the history of rock and roll. For $1,500, I never saw the point. Wine sucks and all you need to know about rock and roll is in Bob Dylan's albums.

Lindy, quoting yourself is a bit unbecoming.

We got to campus eleven days before school began in order to clean the house. (We lived in a scholarship house.) So it was basically us 25 guys and the townies. We were blind drunk one night and walked over to the quad to get high. (Not sure why.) Anyway, some locals came by because they wanted to talk to "real white boys." We got 'em high and then we started smoking cigarettes.

"Man!" one of the locals said. "You smokin' them squares, too?"

We were like, what? Then he said cool people smoked dope while "squares" smoked cigarettes. I hadn't heard that before . . . but I think I have called cigarettes "squares" ever since.
