I am one of the only national capitals that sits directly on a major fault line. Cats roam my ancient ruins. Empires fought endlessly over me because I connected continents. Where am I?”

Two questions.....

Why do we say "Excuse my French" when about to swear. When something crappy happens why do we ask "If we're having fun yet." and "Why do we say "For pete's sake" are these all just American phrases?

This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged many times. A came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. B came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...

The letters J, U, and W are relatively new additions compared to the others. For a long time, people used I/J and U/V as the same letters.

I was out today minding my own business at a restaurant when I over heard someone at a table near me say this "The United States is the oldest country in the world." I was thinking...It can't be. At least the "United Kingdom" was around before we came to the new world.

Lucy:
Was just thinking, when someone says think outside the box....why does it have to be a box? Why can't it be anything you want? Like a closet? Or a door? Hehe -
Lucy:
Okay this might need to become a topic....here's one step further..."Why are we assuming thinking has an “inside” and an “outside” at all?"

Lucy:
Why did we decide creativity requires escaping from something? Why do so many of our metaphors for creativity imply that ordinary thinking is a restriction?
-
Victorique:
It's because it hinges on the idea that everyone wants to be ordinary (aka "normal") and that being anything other should be punishable socially. It stems from imperial modes of thinking that harm people not white-cis-straight-abled-perisex-etc because the idea of normal is centred on "some guy"-isms -

Unrelated question....are political questions allowed? Also really confused why people keep calling the U.S. a democracy when we are supposed to be a Republic....
