See here sir, "till" is both a noun, describing the loose rocky soil left by glaciers, and also a verb, describing the action of disturbing the soil in such a manner.

To UN-till something, is to perform the inverse process. This is why it is logically what is performed by the use of a tamping iron.

Dont go all UK on me now, by dredging up "inflammable".

No you are mistaking the word till with the word till. They're different words, just spelled the same

I just learned of 1811 slang for penis, which was "gaying instrument". I felt I needed to share that.

The preposition "till" is actually not a shortening of "until" but is borrowed from the Scandinavian word from the time the Scandies invaded Scotland. The concept of 'til is purely a misunderstanding.

In fact, "until" was created later and based on the preexisting "till". The un- is from a prefix meaning "up to".

I read that as "Buy the premium nothing". So you have nothing to start with, and you can pay for premium nothing. I guess they start you out with less than nothing and you then pay to have nothing. So the first paid tier is the sweet blessed relief of not having to use their thing.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

You know... in spite of being absolutely crushed by life many times before, betrayed, abused... (specifically in 2019)... I managed to survive and become a better person. If anyone is here who I have wronged, I am sorry.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
