  • In Australia what was once known as the jabiru is now the black-necked stork. Apparently the name comes from the Tupi–Guaraní language and means 'swollen neck'. I have no idea how the name arrived in northern Australia.

    But supposedly the objection was that the jabiru proper is the only bird in the genus Jabiru so it wasn't acceptable for a bird from another genus like the Australian black-necked stork to have the name as well.

    Yeah too late, in a way, there's already a town called Jabiru in the Northern Territory, named after you-know-what.

    Aand locals like me who lived in the NT for 25 years just liked the name jabiru better so continue to use it.

  • Bird names are a bin fire anyway.

    March 21, 2024

  • In an article about decolonizing bird names - not calling them the name of the white European ornithologist associated with them - they refer to these names as verbal statues, monuments to colonizers new to the area.

    "The Bird Names for Birds movement argues that these names are like “verbal statues” and that the moment has come for the birding community to take a long, hard look at the institutions and systems that perpetuate white colonial ideals."

  • An Australian expression that equates roughly to 'while campaigning'. It refers to doorknocking but in reality includes conversations political canvassers have at markets, on the street, by phone, etc.

    "The feedback I’m getting out there on the doors is very positive. We’ve had a huge campaign in terms of announcing the policies that are actually going to address some of the issues, the biggest issues in Tasmania at the moment: the cost of living crisis, the health crisis and the housing crisis." - Dean Winter, https://tasmaniantimes.com/2024/03/winter-after-10-years-of-liberals-its-time-for-change/

It will contain many illustrations depicting a selection of STFs. As for 'schrodinger's cat on a hot tin roof', that's brilliant!

  • The most important and unique feature of English (I think).

    You can just change words without a paper trail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPq0-8dyl8I

    Nouns to verbs without -ify or -ate, verbs to nouns without -tion or -er

    Parts of Speech? Gender? No thank you. Don't need em.

    Allows for nuance in synonym implications amd levels of formality, infinite loanwords, great for flexibility and wordplay. But! Has few signposts for new learners - a bad feature for the current lingua franca.
