lol some of the “cool” stuff are explicitly against homosexuality. Like Rastafari and Reggae (not all) Lots of homophobic lyrics in reggae music. And often just calling for straight up murder of gays like the song Boom Bye Bye by Bunju Banton which is a very popular song in Jamaica.

In many languages blue and green are the same word. For example Japanese didn’t have a separate word for green for centuries. Then they started using midori for green. And midori just means sprout and for a long while just meant greenish blue and not a separate distinct color. Like how we use Peach for a shade of Orange.

While Midori means a distinct green nowadays. The non distinction of blue and green from the past can still be seen today. Like green apples are called Ao Ringo which we would translate to blue apples. Or green bamboo is called blue bamboo Aodake.

It’s also why traffic lights in Japan are blueish green. Since in their traffic code they use the word Ao for Go, so blue (but also green) and not Midori. In the beginning the go light was just green as the international traffic code dictates, but some people objected since the traffic code says Ao and not Midori thus they compromised and made it blueish green.

Also young kids often mix up blue and green when they are still learning the colors. Same with red and orange.

On the other hand in Italy you'd be wrong if you call the color of the jersey of the Italian soccer team blue. It's Azzurro (azure) which is a distinct color in Italian, while it's just a shade of blue in most other languages

First also happens but they end relationships rather than start one. How many marriages have failed because of a DIY reno project that halted progress for years.

I saw an old Law and Order SVU episode and it had Tyson playing a rape victim. Disgustingly ironic.
