Reminds me of a Lonely Island lyric:

Dreamgirl you amaze me all dressed in paisley

Love how not one but both eyes are lazy

This predates Paisley. Lemmy might be catching up to reddit faster than we thought

[-] Gingernate@programming.dev 11 points 2 weeks ago

What do you mean by that?

[-] Gingernate@programming.dev 9 points 2 weeks ago

That'll be a fucking worthless IPO hahahahahah

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Might be worthless to you but that'll get most of us unlimited beans 🫘

Referring to finding deeper information, from an actual human response. I've always known that pattern as a Paisley, but here's a word I've never heard of hinting different geographic origins.

[-] Gingernate@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

And the reddit connection? Pretty sure reddit is a bunch of bots or so it seems

[-] And009@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Umm... That's where it began

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 86 points 2 weeks ago

Paisley. It was really popular pattern in the late 1960s / early 1970s in curtains and furniture.

And ties.

It's called paisley. Originated in Persia, but named after a town in Scotland.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

It's paisley

I call it "paramecia". But that's just my personal way of calling it, without knowing the real original name !

Good to know though :)

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago

Most people I know name it after some kind of microorganism 😆

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Like a paramecium?

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago
