    Canadians faced no restrictions on travelling to Cuba, and no embargoes on Cuban cigars and rum. One nice thing about vacationing in Cuba was that there were no American tourists. Now, American tourists aren’t bad. They’re actually much more pleasant and better behaved than a lot of foreign tourists, but if they were allowed to visit Cuba it would get a little too crowded and touristy.

    3:14 Update: Nebraska voters reinstated the death penalty by referendum in 2016, arguably their second-worst decision in that election.

      You get New Mexico to do it, because who in New Mexico gives a single shit about winter sports?

    • @gayahithwen
      @gayahithwen 5 місяців тому +6

      Presumably because there was no equivalent word for the phenomenon in English, and then someone wrote an English-language text where they borrowed that word because there was no other word to describe the thing they meant, thus giving it legitimacy as an English word. Just like how every single other loanword in English got there.
      Like, why do Americans know how to spell "smorgasbord" or "ombudsman", or what those words mean? Because the closest equivalent English words (buffet and proxy) didn't have the same nuance as the Swedish terms, so someone borrowed those terms into an English-language text at some point, and because English dictionaries tend towards descriptivism (i.e. documenting how the language actually is used) rather than prescriptivism (telling people they're doing their own language wrong, like L'Académie Française), once a word has been used a certain number of times, it goes in the dictionary.
