    Jesus was hit in the back of the head. He turned around. It was his mother.

    Saying something is "Ancient Greek" is incorrect. Back in "Ancient Greece" there was no Greece. Merely a ragtag collection of city states. So you can't say it's "Ancient Greek." You have to specify which city state it's from. Is it from Athens? Crete? Sparta?

    Hm... It doesn't matter what it was called back then. You can still call it ancient Greece if you aren't refering to a specific nation-state, but to the whole "ragtag collection" as you put it. It's also worthy of note that they shared the same language. Yes, there might have been a few minor differences, but there are a few minor differences on, say, Spanish depending on the region of Spain and you still call it

    "Spain" and "spanish". That's because details like the nation-states as opposed to a being a solid country, or the language being ALMOST exactly the same as opposed to toally exactly the same, is not really relevant in most contexts where expressions like "ancient greece" or "ancient greek" appear.
    If this were played upon a stage now I could condemn it as improbable fiction.

    This is Shakespeare making use of the Lamphade Hanging trope.
    How are you supposed to celebrate columbus day! I mean, on 4th of july we have fireworks. On flag day we have parades and hang flags. On presidents day we paste sunglasses onto pictures of the presidents and post them on the internet. On memorial day we have parades and take a moment of silence for those who fell in battle. On Labor Day most people get off from work. On easter we hide eggs for some reason.

    I mean, to be fair, he was. But still, I don't understand how there's a holiday that seemingly has no way to be celebrated.

    Theory: The world was built from Lego. That's why god took a week to build it. Because he lost several pieces and couldn't get some to fit together right and she was having trouble getting the shape he wanted.
    I don't like the term transgender. I don't like referring to people of color as black, or, in fact, people of color at all. I don't like gender pronouns. They all seem like labels to me. Words to refer to how people are different from other people. Words so that people can justify feeling better than others. We're all people. So why these labels.

    I don't know I just... I don't like using descriptive terms for people. I often use they/them for everyone or just use their name to avoid using gender pronouns.

    I also feel especially weird using the word transgender. I don't even know why. Like, I'm fine with Trangsenders existing but I don't like using the word.
    Why is it that everywhere I go on TV Tropes I'm plagued by ads for womens clothing and ways to cover up smoking marks!
    Love triangles aren't real triangles. In order to be real triangles, one of the participants would have to be gay.
