Had a trivia question Monday whose answer was Adriatic Sea, so I started to sing this to my teammates.

Did not know that a web browser came from Albania.

I think it would be hilarious if I ever end up as a regulator

On the old AO, there was this poster who was going for the alphabet soup behind his name, in additional to the familial soup already present.
This poster ended up as a regulator in a small-ish, remote-ish US state. And I got to do some direct interactions with said posters.
Interesting times.
Yes, I remember that person
I gave blood today. My local red cross is still doing antibody testing, so I am eager to see how the vaccine took.

Here in Kentucky and Southern Indiana there is a common saying for small children when giving them something that they are displeased with. We say “You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit”. I was told this when I was young and I have said it to my children. I was watching a show set in the Northeast last week and they said “You get what you get and you don’t get upset”. My first thought was oh they substituted another word in for fit. My 2nd thought was that actually upset rhymes if you pronounce get correctly, but in KY get is pronounced git so we say fit LOL!

I’m familiar with “You get what you get and you don’t get upset” from growing up, I’d always assumed it was a British thing. This is my first time hearing “…and you don’t throw a fit”

growing up we had no rhymes. it was more “don’t be a spolied brat.” niceness was something i learned when i moved to the midwest. my kids have learned “…don’t have a fit.” I refer to it often. (kids are now 15 and 22 - it still comes up.)
For my kids, it was more along the lines of, “Oh, so you don’t appreciate what you did get? Ok, we’ll take that away.”
Took them only one time to get the message.
I say get, not git, but the end is still … and you don’t throw a fit. I think I picked the saying up in Texas though, so it’s possible I’m just mispronouncing git
