  Word of the day: ONOMATOMANIA - the frustration of not being able to think of that particular word you're looking for .

  I suffer from that all the time .

  Onomatomania is not a mania, it's a standard part of ageing. .

  In 2016, Russia used their air force to fight an unusual enemy: winter. When ice blocked the Sukhona River, the Russian Air Force mobilised fighter jets to bomb the ice until water started flowing again..

  How environmentally sound..

  My wife made me put up our decorations last week. I can't call the 'negotiations' over this task friendly at all .

  Bah! Humbug .

  The University of Chicago hosts an annual debate on the relative merits of latkes (a potato pancake eaten at Hanukkah) and hamantashen (a triangular pastry associated with Purim).

  Love a good latke but there’s something about inventing a pastry specifically to make fun of a specific guy’s dumb hat that appeals to me .

  The Khasi people of India make bridges by shaping live tree roots. Since the trees and roots are still alive, a living bridge can last as long as the tree lives - hundreds of years..

  That’s the kind of green construction we should all celebrate .

  If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings;

  .Especially because it interferes with long lunches..

  Would love to solution this opportunity with you, but I have a Zoom call in five minutes..

  It is illegal to swear at sports events in Massachusetts. .

  Do they shout "feline excrement" when the ball goes up in the air?

  Manchester united have never played in Massachusetts .

  I think if Boston sports fans paid fines for this law it would fix the nation’s economy. .

  I always  thought Massachusetts was a swear word .

  if the sports event is in Massachusetts and I'm watching it from elsewhere, what's the legal position?
