This is like my mom cracking herself up by standing outside the back door loudly telling the dog to “go pee” because it sounds like a rather serious insult in Chinese (狗屁).

Until one of her students walked up to find her venerable professor yelling 狗屁! out into the neighborhood.

Kwakwaka’wakw mask that inspired the original Seahawks logo opened to reveal a carved human face inside, which gives me an absolutely wild idea for a throwback helmet.

FYI here's the Carling's Beer ad using "wetland". Next task is to find the Kopmans book and see if he uses the term himself.

Important wetland history news!

For years, the earliest occurrence of the word "wetland" in its modern sense I've found was in a June 1948 Carlton Beer ad in the Ottawa Sentinel.

New earliest date!: The New Orleans Times-Picayune on Dec 1, 1946, in a review of "Wild Acres" by Henry Kopman.
