The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

I do think you can understand a lot of the right commentariat as a psychodrama around the boorish jokes they tell at dinner parties not getting the laughs they used to.

Letting my Duolingo streak die today. Don’t know why but I never had adverts or lives until this week. Now I’m on the freemium model it’s unusable. And I resent paying $100 dollars (or whatever it is) for something I had for free. Oh well, time to move on.
