No - luggage is a means to an end; the moon an ideological, political gambit. The latter moves things quicker than general common sense.

Babies are taken, in many cultures, to represent peacefulness and innocence; poor sleep is generally associated with anxiety.

A movie is generally thought to be a theatrical event; TV is considered documentary. So 'in' a play, 'on' a report (meaning featured).

Perspectives away from ourselves drives a lot of our desires (hence art and so on). Hence people will pay for a different perspective in a topographically literal sense.

Technically, there are easily more than 50 who could be pres'nit. But otherwise, Miss America is about very little, so a broad choice highlights the finitude of those criteria.

Societal decency is a matter or procedure, not necessarily logic. Moreover, it's a gesture of where the lines of the trust in a personal matter lie.

Illiterate people probably have the same effect - it's a load of letters. It's only the aspergic/ anal who try and make sense of it, foolishly.

Of course; the plaintiff's aural response is of lesser importance than the 'hearing' of a court of 'equals'.

The 'Buffalo' doesn't refer to the meat - obvious, if you consider that buffalo don't actually have wings

The colouring doesn't affect the chemical process, I imagine. I'd have to look into it more.

It's either emphatic (and therefore tautological) or implies that a gift may incur undisclosed costs - viz, the free may refer to the financial cost but not the general expenditure.

Quote:

Worldwide, I'd say no - In much of the west, I expect that Christmas day is probably a fair bet to be mattress-sale-free.

Wherever they feel peaceable and relaxed. The forest is not absolutely considered a 'get away from it all' place. I enjoy the beach, for instance.

H stands for haemarrhoids - it doesn't imply a sequential letter-based nomenclature.
Quote:

Unlikely - the milk is made elsewhere, and it would need to be regurgitated through a series of stomachs, all equipped with one-way valves. If it were drinking milk, it might - but it stands to be seen whether cows actually laugh.
Quote:
Originally Posted by atari 2600

Because 'onety' isn't a word. Tenty-one is perhaps the more pertinent question, but I suspect it's to do with the nature of English in its early phases, when 12 was a more significant number than 10 is considered now.

Quote:

'The drawing board'. It's a figure of speech - so while we have an idea of what a drawing board is, this person (not necessarily male) who invented it would go back to whatever stood in for our concept of 'drawing board'. Back to the tabula rasa, perhaps.
Quote:

Assassination implies a certain value to the person, or a value in the murder - so wives of nobodies can have their husband 'assassinated' because his death has a value for her.

Also to help. There's a lot to do.

'After the beginning of dark' or 'after it has got dark' - we frequently shorten sentences, for a variety of reasons, but they are mostly understood by the contingency of a common language.

'Second' refers to seconds, as in the smallest main increment of an hour.

'Oil for babies' - the similarity in syntactic construction has misled you to a false conclusion.

By people putting them there. It's an advice, not an absolute invocation of death for any transgressors.

Feet do smell. Noses are said to 'run' because normally viscous material is loosened, giving the impression of 'running' (used as a figurative simile).

'Go off' is taken to mean 'began' in many English speaking countries.

Because each is 'a part' of the whole (which is, incidentally, not 'stuck together').

Freestanding construction - the 'free' is omitted.

Fat chance is ironic; slim chance is hyperbolic.

Neither 'up' nor 'down' are appropriate adjectives for describing speed, except abstractly and by convention; hence the 'up' and 'down' are used less descriptively and more as intensifiers.
