@futurebird for #dictionary and #BlackAdder fans ... #Johnson's dictionary *does* include "#sausage", but at least in my copy it is not sorted as we would, so I suspect that the writers really did check.

Today I learned what Milkshake Duck is :blobcatreading:
In Internet culture, a Milkshake Duck is a person who gains popularity on social media for some positive trait but is later discovered to have a distasteful history or to engage in offensive behavior.
The term has been connected to cancel culture, a perceived trend of social media, sometimes resulting in celebrities being ostracized and careers abruptly derailed by publicized misconduct.Hooray to Wikipedia, as always :ablobcatrainbow:

I'm #watching The Man in Room 17, a 1960s #UKTV show about an expert who is consulted on odd criminal cases. He doesn't leave the office, like Nero Wolfe, though in this case his Archie Goodwin also stays inside.
The current case involves a pretty woman, the secretary of a presumed industrial spy. Dimmock (the assistant) says he'll call her and offer to hire her at twice the pay, to see her boss's reaction.
Oldenshaw (the boss) notes how curious it is that Dimmock's imagination blossoms when a female appears in a case. Dimmock picks up the phone to call, and Oldenshaw says he'll call: "I'll speak to her like an uncle."
"A libidinous uncle," retorts Dimmock.
"The word is li-BYE-din-ous, dear boy," says Oldenshaw, stressing that the second vowel is long.
Except, no, says the Oxford English #Dictionary, and Merriam-Webster agrees. (And yes, I did just type 900 characters over what may have been a joke I missed. It's one of those nights.) #OED

Reification and objectification
"The notion of objectification concerns an interpersonal relationship, the individual action targeted by morality and law [...]. The notion of objectification, understood in this way, dispenses with a critical theory of society, which is central to the concept of reification. The emphasis is on individual responsibility, on the condemnation of singular acts, rather than on the social structures that demand, authorise or perpetuate these behaviours."
"In her book Dialectics of the Body, Lisa Yun Lee proposes an understanding of reification in Adorno based on the question of the body: the body forgotten by scientific modernity, the repressed body associated with nature and the feminine, the body mutilated by identity violence, and the commodity and spectacle body, instrumentalised for production (Yun Lee, 2004). "All reification is an oblivion": an oblivion of suffering, a collective anaesthesia to the effects of domination systematically organised and reproduced by reification."
