More like the other way 'round. Until the Norman conquest of 1066, "English" was more like Old Germanic. What we think of as Ye Olde English was Frenchified Really Olde English.

Because the aristocracy of later England was the conquering Normans (i.e., French), we see the old Germanic names for the animals (Kuh = cow, Schwein = pig) and the French name for the meat that comes from the animal (boeuf, porc).

One reason he just said goodbye and didn't ask for your number is that many times in the recent past he's been excoriated for doing just that, but with a woman who didn't want him to do so.

"Europe" is different enough from the US to kind of be lumped together to indicate that the person took a long trip to somewhere very different. If the person listening asks "Where all did you go? What was interesting?" etc., then you can explain in greater detail.

A lot of people aren't interested in anything other than themselves and won't ask. So, refraining from great detail in the initial sentence saves time.

I worked in Europe for three years, and when I'd be back in the US on a business trip, people would ask "How was Europe?" Anything longer than a one-sentence reply was greeted with blank stares. About 80% of people want the answer to be "Fine" or "Busy" or "Crowded" or "Got to try different foods," but nothing more. The 20% who want to know more ask for more details.

To be fair, those unimaginative names were chosen by Europeans who left Europe and settled* in what they called The New World.

*Some would say that those those Europeans colonized The New World.

But we need to give good grades to certain groups of people even when the individuals from those groups don't earn them, because it improves their self-image.

Me getting teleported to the BEST POSSIBLE city in 1300:
-Hey guys, my mouth tastes like garbage; who's got some toothpaste and a spare toothbrush?
-What do you mean, you "take a bath once a year, whether you need it or not?"
-Crap! I got a cut. Anybody got some Neosporin?
-Awright, I got some reading material and some spare time...is there a roll of TP in the...WHAT THE HECK IS THAT STENCH?!
-Man, walking everywhere gave me a powerful thirst. Which way to the cool, clean, refreshing, non-polluted, parasite-free water?
-I got some reading to catch up on, but the sun is going down...what do you mean "use a candle?"
-Get away from me with those leeches and blister poultice...doesn't anyone have an aspirin?

I can't imagine asking an *ex* for money for anything. Wouldn't you have current friends you could prevail on in an emergency?

Of course, looking at her attitude, the friends who'd bail me out in an emergency are ones I'd do the same for...so, since she seems to be a one-way-street as far as "help" goes, maybe I shouldn't be surprised that she needs a sugar daddy to pay rather than a friend to lend some money.

Monica Lewinski has really shifted her politics to the right.

I guess the Democrats left a bad taste in her mouth.
