LEARN AN OLD WORD
Some hundred years ago in rural England, one could still buy "lanted" ale, or ale with lant added, which supposedly makes it stronger.
Now go look up "lant" and prepare to be gobsmacked.
Old Customs
This was not how Glorfindel had envisioned the night of his wedding.

Excuse me while I continue to die of laughter.
In some places in the Netherlands, you’ll find trees like these. Branches are filled with handkerchiefs and other cloths. They are called Fever Trees. According to an ancient custom, if someone has fallen ill, you need to go to a Fever Tree, tie a handkerchief to one of the branches, turn around and don’t look back and the person will get better again. A popular children’s song is linked to this custom: (translated from Dutch) Lay down handkerchief, won’t tell nobody, have watched over it all night. Two pairs of shoes I finished: One made of fabric, the other one is leather, This is where I hang my handkerchief.
Just saw a beer commercial listing things a man should do to be a man. One of them was, "If you want to marry a girl you ask her father." My first thought was, what century is this? This has always been a pet peeve of mine. It feels to much like the days when daughters were seen as property. You never see a woman ask the man's mother for permission to marry her little boy. I'm sorry, but I've always had an issue with this custom. If your little girl is a legal adult her future husband shouldn't be asking anyone about marriage but her. When I got married I was a grown woman with a job and a home. My future husband asked me and we went together to tell my parents. My dad jokingly told me I couldn't get married. I told him, I didn't come to ask your permission, I came to invite you to a wedding. Like I said, I don't like the custom.
I love how gender fluidness rose from the 60 to early 70's and then just reverted back to customs in the 80's. America, you were doing so well, what happened?
