Word of the Every So Often

cardick:  (noun)  A portmanteau of “cart” and “dick,” it’s someone who cluelessly manages to block the entire aisle at the grocery store with their cart, and themself, while they slowly... unbelievably slowly... compare the ingredients on tomato soup cans, rearrange their coupons, check the weather on their phone, or whatever the hell it is they’re doing other than letting anybody else down the aisle.  Seriously, stop being a cardick!

The Daily Lesson

On July 28, 1586, Sir Thomas Harriet, who was the scientific adviser, astronomer, and translator on the Roanoke Voyage, returned to England, along with potatoes.  Yup.  Before then there were no loaded baked potatoes, no fried potatoes, no French fries, shoestrings, hash browns, or Tator tots!  There were no spuds at all in England... and Ireland.  But Sir Harriet changed all that.  It was Sir Walter Raleigh, though, who first grew them on his plantation in Ireland, which led to their popularity.
