  1. "The word ghos-ti- was thus the central expression of the guest-host relationship, a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient #IndoEuropean society. A guest-friendship was a bond of trust between two people that was accompanied by ritualized gift-giving and created an obligation of mutual hospitality and friendship that, once established, could continue in perpetuity and be renewed years later by the same parties or their descendants. [Calvert Watkins, 'American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots"]' "

  3. Today's #Etymology lesson (based on my response to someone's post). Did you know that the words #Ghost, #Guest and #Host have the same root? #Ghosti ! And it goes back to #ProtoIndoeuropean hospitality customs!

    "*ghos-ti- Proto-Indo-European root meaning "stranger, guest, host," properly "someone with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality," representing "a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient Indo-European society" [Watkins]. "

  5. I went out for lunch today - a Friday tradition - and saw something that is a pet #peeve of mine. I'm going to explain why it is bad and why you [1] should not do it.

    At a #restaurant or similar establishment, DO NOT ask the #host / #server to #seat you in a section which is #closed. You may want to because it's "quieter" there, or you think you're doing everyone a favour because you won't disturb others or whatnot. But the reason it's closed is because the management doesn't anticipate enough business to keep it open, and therefore doesn't have #service #staff on to handle it.

    If you end up seated there, you're making the servers have to run back and forth between that section (to check on you) and the one they're actually supposed to be serving. It creates a lot of extra work for the #server, and makes the service worse, both for you and for the customers in the open #section, because of the time they waste going back and forth.

    A lot of servers/hosts are too polite to just say "no", especially with small independent businesses, so they'll seat you there, and everyone suffers. And then their #tips suffer, too, because of the degraded #service.

    Don't be that #asshole. Be #seated where they put you.

    [1] Well, not *you*, you're #lovely. You're reading this, so you're in the fediverse, and on an instance that hasn't been blocked or defederated, so you're probably a pretty good person. Apply this lesson to friends, colleagues, relatives when you go out together.

  7. Hi @[email protected] @[email protected]
    continue to #host, your #community may thank you once the Goliaths collapse and you have proven services to help with or offer. And neither snac nor gts might exist, if not for people like you.

  12. A quotation from Jonathan Swift

    Conversation is but carving;
    Carve for all, yourself is starving:
    Give no more to every Guest,
    Than he’s able to digest;
    Give him always of the Prime;
    And but little at a Time.
    Carve to all but just enough:
    Let them neither starve nor stuff:
    And, that you may have your Due,
    Let your Neighbours carve for you.

    Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) English writer and churchman
    “An Epistle to a Lady Who Desired the Author to Write Some Verses Upon Her in the Heroic Style,” ll. 123-132 (1732)

  14. A quotation from Horace

    But like a general, a host displays
    his genius best under disaster.
     
    [Sed convivatoris uti ducis ingenium res
    Adversae nudare solent, celare secundae.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 8 “Ut Nasidieni,” l. 73ff (2.8.73-74) (30 BC) [tr. Matthews (2002)]
