Thank you. You're doing the work of some lord or other.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 21 points 1 year ago

“Lord” came from a phrase like “loaf warden” or “loaf guardian.” Because bread was the very important staple food, and someone had to be responsible for its safekeeping. Likewise, “Lady” comes from “loaf maiden,” presumably having something to do with the creation of bread from raw materials.

I prefer to be called “loaf daddy”

Wouldn't that make you a... uh... Load?

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

We have been loads at one point or another

Changes his name to L-Diddy later on

Absolutely correct. Lady stems from bread-kneader, in fact: https://www.etymonline.com/word/lord

I’m going to go with Kevin Stroud of The History of the English Language Podcast on that one.

I can't tell if you are implying any disagreement, so I'll just add that the Proto-Germanic origin for the second half of lady (hlǽfdige) definitely stems from kneading: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/daigij%C7%AD

Other than that, sounds like an interesting podcast!

It's fantastic, I just re-listened to the whole thing.

Haha, oh my gosh... Pace tastes like the most disguising, sugary, boring ass salsa ever. It's wild to see they ever tried to market themselves as authentic.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

When it came to the pronunciation in that commercial, the very last thing they tried to market themselves as was authentic. Kinda hurt to hear.

Pace Paconny Sauce

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lmfao

My parents love that sauce. I like the spicy one the others are boring American flavored salsa

[-] esc27@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Are they made with real Americans?
