Question from this week's Ask DeathIdentifying phrases or words have been changed.
How does one manage to not step wrong with Humans? Every time I turn around, I say something wrong, because their words twist.
Well, for one. Stop worrying about it. Words change meaning every few years. If you truly feel like you've offended someone, apologize. or not, and learn from that. If you are unsure of a word, or its meaning, or a phrase and its meaning, ask. Learning is part of humanity.
What is the funniest name you have actually heard used in the real world?
Minthorne Dyckman was an interesting one that made me laugh, a little bit anyway. Though Paphro Ditus Pike is another funny one - Paphro is just humorous sounding.
Why aren't blueberries blue?
Indigo is actually closer to the blue-scale of color, with hints of purple. So in truly technical terms, blueberries are blue. According to Newton, Indigo sits between Violet and Blue.
How do you know if a guy you've been hanging out with likes you?
In my experience, from a purely observational standpoint that said experience is, pay attention to the tone of voice and body language. People who have an interest in others tend to face you more when they speak, light touches that seem accidental, and eye contact. If you are asking about if he wishes to be more than friends, these things will most likely occur more frequently.
But in my opinion, it is just easier to ask. Second guessing body language, conversation hints and so on seems too overly complex. Though I'll be honest, asking me about relationship advice will result in more interesting observations - I've never been in a relationship, I only witness them.
