🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Serviette
While used in other English-speaking countries, 'serviette' is far more common in Canada than 'napkin.' The word comes directly from French, reflecting Canada's bilingual heritage. So next time you're setting the table or cleaning up a spill, you're using a word that subtly highlights Canada's unique linguistic landscape. Pass the serviettes, eh? #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Serviette

🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Garburator
In Canada, that noisy machine under the kitchen sink that grinds up food scraps is called a 'garburator.' In the US and elsewhere, it's typically known as a 'garbage disposal.' The term 'Garburator' was originally a brand name for a unit made by General Electric, but like 'Kleenex' or 'Zamboni,' it became the common term for the device itself across the country. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Invention

Many #Faroese #neologisms reuse existing words. The word “#fløga” is not an exception. With its original meaning being the layer on a stack (of hay) and thick slice (of bread) it now also means the compact disc (#CD). The thick layer of data, perhaps?
Pictured is the debut album of the folk-metal band #Hamradun released in 2015. #Music CD would be called #ljómfløga in Faroese.

#WordyWednesday: Bleb
(used in a mortuary context)
A blister on a dead body, filled with stinky liquid, which usually turns into an area of skin slip (moist peeling skin) after it's been drained. Not fun at all.

#WordyWednesday: Ossilegium ☠️
A noun meaning the act of collecting bones for placement in an ossuary after the rest of the body has decomposed. FYI, an ossuary is a building or structure to house bones or cremated remains. (I’ll do one of these on ossuaries later!)
The collected bones may be stored in individual boxes, small niches, or arranged into magnificent displays with many other skeletons.
Many cultures performed this as a means of conserving burial space. Ancient Greeks even collected bones from funeral pyres and washed them with wine and oil before placing them in urns.
Pronounced oss-ih-LEE-gee-um.
Not to be confused with the metal band by the same name 🤘🏻
