A jiffy is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. Thus the saying, I will be there in a jiffy.

Barn owls have eyes of different colours, depending on whether they are dawn dusk or daytime hunters.

You also lose a lot of your friends.... Back to the plot. “Almost” is the longest word in English with all the letters in alphabetical order. |

When we are born we have more bones in our bodies than when we are adults. That is because some of the small infant bones fuse together.

In Norwegian you don't refer to your partner as "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". You say kiaereste, gender neutral, translates as "the dearest".
In Swedish you say "aiskling", "my beloved one"
In Finnish you say "muklkvisti"m which means "The one I don't hate as much as the others". Big up for Finland, keeping it real.
Loving words that have disappeared, we used to say "dearling", "loveling" and "sweetling". How sweet. Now we say "What up ho!"
