It bugs me a bit when people treat acceptable synonyms as foreign just because it's not the word or within the range of words they would've chosen.

I had something similar happen getting off a plane at London Heathrow. I asked airport staff where I could find the restrooms and they replied with a slightly confused look, "do you mean toilet?"

As an American, it didn't click for me until I visited London for the first time why names like Leicester and Gloucester were pronounced the way they are by Brits. My dumb American brain sees the names as Lei-cester and Glou-cester rather than Leice-ster and Glouce-ster.

Think it's fine since you're referring to the thigh. Mostly sure English doesn't gender body parts.

Maybe he got the idea of going hard on tariffs from trying to find a president he could relate to. Sadly, if he goes out the same way, we won't get a Teddy Roosevelt out of Vance.

I'm so sorry, here, it's Cradle of Filth. It got me through some pretty bleak times.

No mention of being prom king though, probably got corrupted by the homecoming crown and started changing.

Hear me out, Michael Fassbender as an older Peter Parker who converted intelligence to eloquence over the years.
