My translator shows "enterprise", not "business".

While the words technically have the same meaning in this case, enterprise goose has a bit more pizazz!

What did China call them before the invention of the 3 piece suit?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They didn't. 3 piece suits are older than penguins, because penguins are a type of bird, and birds were invented by the US government as surveillance drones.
