    Beef Bourguignon, inspired by @guillaumebrahimi! ❤️🍷


    I documented and blogged cooking beef bourguignon for dinner last night, in case you get inspired to make it for yourself. (Also, I was bored.)

    Still shocked every single time I hear someone use “open the kimono” in a business context. Really not cool.


    @chewxy A less racist/sexist phrase to use would be “peek under the hood,” if that clarifies. Basically – reveal what is hidden.


    @troyhunt My colleague Bobbie built a voice-triggered autonomous toilet paper fetching robot. 😂 https://t.co/0i3MSV8jk2


    @chewxy Lucky for you! I hear it every now and then and it’s always jarring.


    @bmcevoy If you want to look at my replies, most folks have a visceral negative reaction to it. So I’d definitely rethink using it in any professional context.


    @marksbirch @mattstratton Literally heard it today, and I’ve had at least one seemingly sincere person in my replies saying he doesn’t get why it’s objectionable. 🤷‍♀️ So it’s definitely still around.


    Because of course. @mattallen 😂 https://t.co/AJfGpxLr03


    @mattallen The most matta thing that ever matta’d. 😛


    @misswired wait – you sterilise in the bathtub??!


    @boyter @marksbirch @mattstratton 😳 This one today was from an external person.

    @sundress @CatPurry9 I didn’t read it as drawing equivalency between HPV and Covid, but rather having invasive and uncomfortable tests. Point taken, though.


    @FourRedShoes Amazing!!


    @captainklein My team are discussing. Most of the non-Aussies haven’t heard it before either!


    @unixbigot Holy crap. Just read this @GrogsGamut tweet aloud to @the_snook who excitedly started digging in a box. He has most of these!! https://t.co/8e4GWgZaRI


    @unixbigot @GrogsGamut @the_snook He’s also got 1978, 1985, 1988, 1989, and 1992 if you need contributions!


    @MichelePlayfair @unixbigot @GrogsGamut @the_snook We’re going through the old ones now and identifying the ones with slightly racist dodgy illustrations and lyrics…


    @MichelePlayfair @unixbigot @GrogsGamut @the_snook Currently listening to “Pick a Bale of Cotton.” 😐


    @lemon_lime Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
