- bsd999 13y agoWhy is this a discussion?
- gaustin 13y agoPeople found it an interesting topic and started discussing it.
- ctdonath 13y agoWe're a pedantic bunch. I've long noted the tendency of people to eviscerate a casual comment in an online conversation just because it does not extend to encyclopedic thoroughness. Elsewhere I was just upbraided for failing to note that Switzerland was arguably(!) not independent for 0.6% of its 800 year history.
- pessimizer 13y agoYou're right, this conversation is useless. Let's get back to pragmatically discussing how old whales are.
- masklinn 13y agoTechnically correct, the best kind of correct.
- brc 13y agoOK. But does whale meat have a culinary term? Do the Japanese, Norwegians or Icelanders have a term for it, that is not a literal 'whale meat'? While on the topic- why does english have a term for most domestic meats except for 'lamb'. Lamb is lamb, while most other non-game meats have a culinary term.
- PhasmaFelis 13y ago"Chicken" is the same.
- cdcarter 13y agoMutton is an english language term for some to most lamb meats, depending on your area.
- jonsen 13y agoThe Faroe Islanders have it: tvøst (pronounced like tvirst). Norwegians and Danes don't.
