    Limey is for British people in general I think, it's a reference to the use of limes to prevent scurvy during seafaring

    • @gramursowanfaborden5820
      @gramursowanfaborden5820 3 роки тому +7

      initially because the Spanish navy had a monopoly on the lemon trade so British seamen got their vitamin C from limes instead. as a British guy, it's hardly worth getting sour over, it's reciprocal to calling an American a Yank, i think.

    You keep me sane and grounded when I feel the most unhinged. You'll probly never know how helpful your scientarcastic videos are to me, but when I wanna die it is nice to see plants, you've got a great point there, and it inspires me to do plants instead of dying until I die. I'm a horticulturist by trade so plants are life. People suck but plants only suck if they were evolved to use some sort of capillary action like that.

      Seriously, we need to hook kids young on this shit. Elmo runs into Tony while waiting for the bus on Sesame Street and they talk about plants that can grow in the sidewalk cracks next to the garbage cans. Maybe we got some prickly lettuce, some sow thistle or what the shit. Elmo only knows dandelions of course because the seed puffs are fun to play with but he comes away with the appreciation of plants that can adapt to hostile urban conditions. We can save the suppositories for when he gets older.

    Iggy Pop looked great in one in "Deadman". At one time it was called Buffalo Clover as well as Bluebonnet. They very much resemble ladies sun bonnets from the 1800 Regency period. Worn in the back country to this day and in the seasonal orchards and harvesting industry where baseball caps haven't taken over. Poke bonnets kept your neck from burning to a crisp too. You probably don't like Bachelor Buttons or Dutchman's Britches either lol.
