@DataDrivenMD. @MissingThePt. Every time I see #BlueSky, I read Blusky (or Bluski) and think of the Bluth's on #ArrestedDevelopment, so there you go. #Metonymy at its finest.

I like to save “wassail” for verb uses and for the noun I like “wassault.”

RT @ArmaVirumque@twitter.com

"Wassail started out as a simple greeting, became a drinking toast, then became the drink and revelry itself, as well as songs associated with drinking, then carols and songs sung by people begging for drinks on Twelfth Night, and finally Christmas carols themselves." #metonymy https://twitter.com/wordorigins/status/1607013479411589121
