I feel the same sort of way about chartreuse. Can we just switch them?

[–] Sixner 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Chartreuse is literally named after the green French liquor.

It's my favorite alcohol, and the color is amazing.

I will not accept this blasphemy

Wait isn't chartreuse a board with cheese and meats?

You're thinking cat lady. It's Charades.

[–] Spur4383 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Bar, charades is a game. You are thinking of charlatan.

A charlatan is a con-man, buddy. You're thinking of a Charmander.
