Murph Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Older forms of English kept the Latin gender-specific suffixes -tor and -trix, tor is for men and trix is for women. So a man is an aviator, but a woman is an aviatrix, a man is a gladiator and a woman is a gladiatrix etc. This is distinct from modern English where tor is for both men and women and trix are for kids. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Two strings are walking down the street. It’s a really hot day and they decide to stop in a bar for a drink. They walk into a bar and the bartender says, “Get out. We don’t serve strings in here.” The two strings leave and are quite upset over this. Outside one string says to the other, “Watch this,” and he messes up his hair really wild. He walks back into the bar and the bartender says, “Hey, aren’t you a string I just kicked out of here?” The string says, “Nope, I’m a frayed knot.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During her struggles the phone rang, so she asked her 4-year-old to answer it. He did and said, “Mom can’t come to the phone. She’s hitting the bottle.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
