Your mother and father are your parents. Your son and your daughter are your children. Your brother and your sister are your siblings. I’ve had a little look and there doesn’t seem to be a collective term for nieces and nephews or aunts and uncles. I’ve seen it suggested that “nibling” could be used for your nieces and nephews, but I think that’s shit. Meanwhile “cousin” is there, not bothering with any male/female terms. "Piblings" for Aunts and Uncles apparently (Parents' Siblings). But seems to be a bit of reverse engineering going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the shower head over the shower hole hole for a good 5 mins to make sure the nasty stuff gets well flushed away, you will feel golden for days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young my parents took me lingonberry picking on Cannock Chase. Made into a jam which could also be used as a substitute for cranberry sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else seems to use the English name. Keinonen-Murto-1970 - Finland men's national ice hockey team - Wikipedia a picture of another country that uses its native name.

Brūkleņu zaft is an excellent substitute for cranberry sauce, and the cranberry sauce is worthy of substituting. As was Coutinho for Beundia. Sorry wrong thread.

maqroll Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Last night I bought some raw sunflower seeds. They were 50 cents cheaper than roasted. Today I've dry roasted them on the stove top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in the UK, those five minutes of gas used to roast would have set you back £465.19, rendering the savings useless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
