Big as a Breadbox - 20 October 2025

Description

The Hawaiian word aloha is both a greeting and a goodbye, as well as a profound acknowledgement of the oneness with all living things. Plus, what’s a lemur ball? A new book will leave you marveling over the mysteries of lemurs, wombats, and other creatures. And: If you’re exhausted after a long day, and you get tired of saying you’re tired, you can always say you’re forswunk. Also, sweating buckets, sudar como un pollo, a game featuring imaginary national anthems, fair to middling, sirop de poteau, se cree la mamá de Tarzán, dilly-dally, cackermander, jassum, swink, skunked, and a five-year-old’s hilarious misunderstanding.
