"Because of the faddish nature of 'the fast-food generation' in the USA, liver and onions is sometimes used (by American children) in a hyperbolic sense. For instance: "I'd rather eat liver and onions than go to the prom with Reginald!""
I've never heard somebody use that expression. Maybe 'Generation X' was the fast food generation, but I sure as hell know that my generation hasn't use that expression. 74.78.98.109 (talk) 19:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Events by year

message: Just thought I should leave a short message to make note of the fact that I just finished a major cleanup of the sub-categories, weeding out those that weren't actually about events (mostly these were "works"), and consolidating the 8 types of cyclones in one category.

If chocolat has some specific meaning in French other than liver chestnut, perhaps with flaxen or perhaps silver dapple, or whatever we can discuss and if needed, note accordingly in the article.  However, particularly in light of modern genetics, accurate descriptions are preferred over romanticized inaccurate ones.  If there is a complex reason, let's discuss.

message: Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC). I would like to propose the addition of an external link that could lead directly to the specific country’s trade data held by ITC. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 
1) ITC is part of the United Nations
2) No registration is required
3) Trade data (imports/exports) are regularly updated
4) The link gives direct access to the trade database of the specific country
5) The addition of reliable trade data to the Economy section of the country could provide an appropriate contribution to the information therein contained.

message: Added former businesses section, moved Happy Eater and Berni Inn into this section.
Up for debate - if coffee houses get their own section under food chains of the UK, then surely chain pubs should get one too? Otherwise, perhaps, for example,  Wetherspoon's would be eligible for inclusion in the casual dining section,as they do a wide range of food. After all, Wetherspoon's has more of a claim to being a food chain than for example, Starbucks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.66.8 (talk) 10:47, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pope Anita the 1st  

message: The New Eliakim section seems overdone. Firstly, I think it's weird that it's above the section on the "election, death, and resignation" of the pope, given its lower importance. Secondly, the whole section has only one citation not to the Bible. The citation is supposed to substantiate the claim that the Catholic church teaches that the pope is the new Eliakim, but goes to an apologetics blog that isn't run by the church (instead it's Catholic Answers (https://www.catholic.com/about), which is "an independent, lay-run apostolate... [that doesn't] ask for—nor receive—financial support from the Vatican, any diocese or bishops conference, or any other organization that is part of the institutional Catholic Church").

thread_title:  Moderate to moderate? 

message: Following a book I'm reading, "Less than nothing" by Slavoj Zizek, Verso 2012, [p.2]I would like to add the Following:
"In his book, "Less than Nothing" the philosopher Slavoj Zizek turns to the Wikipedia's entry of Imbecile, to explain his use of it as a particular and special type of stupidity - a type between the "Idiot" and the "Moron". 
According to Zizak, the Idiot understands situations logically, but unable to understand its hidden contextual rules (e.g. to provide an elaborate answer to the polite question of welcome: 'how do you do?"). The Idiot is outside of the "Big Other". 
The Moron, conversely, identifies himself with the contextual rules, or the common sense, so he lacks the ability to see beyond it. The Moron is within the "Big other"   
The Imbecile, as a middle ground, according to Zizek, "is aware of the need for the Big Other, but not relying on it, distrusting it". 
Zizek mentions that the term "imbecile", derives from the Latin word "Baculum" (walking stick), which litrally means that imbecile is a person who does not need a walking stick- i.e. able to grasp the "Big Other" (the walking stick) but does not need it for his own use.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilkuja (talk • contribs) 14:17, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Category talk:Monarchs of Australia

message: This category should be included as part of the overall classification scheme for :Category:Heads of state of Australia. If some debate whether the monarch is actually the head of state, that is indicated in the category definition/explanation. It also links to G-Gs for those who view them as the head of state. Australia has a head of state—every country does—so there's no reason to exclude it from the overall classification scheme. 
If this is objected to, then :Category:Heads of state of Australia should exist there, but it keeps getting repeatedly removed. That name is actually more neutral and then it could contain both this category and the G-G category as subcategories, so I don't understand the opposition to it.

Talk:Thomas Hammond (regicide)

message: moved from article space to here for further discussion.
;Thomas Hammond in Maryland?
The famous Maryland historian and genealogist, Harry Wright Newman, K.C.L, F.A.S., has discussed a question which has perplexed Maryland historians for many years: was the Col.Thomas Hammond (c1600-p1666/Anne Arundel Co, MD) who migrated from England to Maryland in 1655 the Lt.Col.Thomas of the New Model Army who "aggressively engaged in the trial of Charles I, [but] faltered at the crucial moment by refusing to sign the Death Warrant" (H.W.Newman, ANNE ARUNDEL GENTRY, pg.188-9)?
By 1655, Col.Thomas Hammond was found with his sons Thomas (b.c1640) and John (1643-w1707/Anne Arundel Co, MD) living quietly as Quakers perhaps tired of war.  Maryland Historians have posited that Col.Thomas was in fact a regicide who apparently staged his death in England.  
It is odd that Col.Thomas' son John by the late 1680s left the Quakers and entered military service, rising from Captain (1691-4), to Major (1694-8), to Lt.Colonel (1698-9) to Colonel (1699-1707) to Maj.General of the Western Shore of Maryland (1707) by the time of his death in reportedly good health.  If true, these appointment is ironic as it was done by the Royal Governor, Seymour, acting in the name of restored Stuart Kings.
If this is going to be mentioned -- and I am not at all sure that it should -- than a online footnote is enough. The reason why I think that this is based on speculation is because, at the time he is supposed to have faked his death he had no way to know that Cromwell would die that year (he had been in good health for a man his age) and he died suddenly. Why would a man who was part of the ruling elite feel the need to fake his own death.? If his death had occurred after Cromwell's death then there might be more justification for it. His case is not like that of the other regicides where there is some documentary evidence to support it and their reason for hiding in America was self explanatory. -- PBS (talk) 17:28, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
