I hate buzzwords! It's not "carbon," it's "carbon dioxide"

And what about these stupid yellow ribbons everywhere? I hate that too!

    wines from warmer climes are lachrymose

    when you tilt your wine glass so the wine goes to the lip, then hold the glass upright, the wine leaves what are called 'tears' on the side of the glass (a clear trail of moisture where the wine receded). the tears are heavier if the wine is from a warmer climate, lighter if the wine is from a cooler climate.

    a wine from, say, Chile, is a wine given to tears, and could therefore said to be lachrymose

    a stretch, but mine own

    —Anonymous
