I would call it the "Cinderella Method" after the German version of it:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella#Aschenputtel,_by_the_Brothers_Grimm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella#Aschenputtel,_by_th... ("Die Guten ins Töpfchen, die Schlechten ins Kröpfchen"_)
- ljsprague 2y agoWhy do the good ones go in the potty and the bad ones in the crib? (Google Translate.)
- aidenn0 2y agoGood goes in the pot, bad goes in the crop. (i.e. keep the good, toss the bad)
- tinco 2y agoPotty would be a small pot, for keeping the lentils. Crib is a mistranslation, I don't know German well enough to know if it's even a possible translation but the word means small crop. The ashes go into the crop because they are fertilizer. Both words, pot and crop, are in diminutive form which makes the sentence have a sing-song feel and memorable.
- card_zero 2y agoCrop as in "bird's throat", I think. Good goes in the kitchen, bad goes in the pigeon.
