Before we took ‘giant’ from French, Old English had a whole native vocabulary about giants. A giant was called an ‘ent’. The giant race was entcynn or ‘entkind’, entisċ meant ‘relating to giants’, and Roman ruins were called ‘ald enta ġewerc’, or ‘ancient work of giants’.

Feeling the urge to play an Assassin's Creed game again but there are apparently 16,000 of them. Which should I play? Considerations: -PS4 only -Favourite one I've played was AC II - Tried Odyssey (too open-world RPGish) and Valhalla (didn't love the combat). Halp!

QUICK was the local word for common hawthorn, known for its quick growth, useful for hedges. In Kent it was thought to be a bad omen to bring hawthorn flowers into the house. From Hardwicke's Science-Gossip (1875)
SUPERSTITION REGARDING THE HAWTHORN.- In Kent, there is still current the belief that it is an ill omen to pick and bring indoors the flowering sprays of the above. Some persons say the death of one of the family is likely to ensue.-J. R. S. C.

Just finished the Exile on Main Street 33 1/3 by Bill Janovitz, and there's a bit where he mentions he's always wondered if there was a compression error in the original mastering of "Tumbling Dice," and I realised I just don't have what it takes to be an expert on anything.

And, after quite a wait for some of us, and still very much to my delighted amazement, we have…
In the autumn of 1362, as Henry of Trastámara of Castile led an independent army back and forth across southern France (long story), his wife followed behind with 54 personal baggage mules.

[Spoilers] He later became Henry II, King of Castile and León, known as 'the Fratricidal' after killing the sitting king -- his half brother Peter the Cruel (who had arranged the murder of Henry's mother) to assume the throne.
