Murgatroyd, which was the last name of one of the dancers on Dancing With The Stars. To me, it sounds very sci-fi, it makes me think of how Trillian combined her first and last name to make something sound more “space-like” in Hitchhikers Guide.
If you keep both armadillos in a single case, it looks like you only have the one violin. A classic beginner mistake is to give each their own case.

I was surprised to find out how many people call them coochie boards. I dated a woman who called it that, and the first time she said it, I barely sputtered out “a what board?”
Especially seeing them out of context. I once ran into a newscaster on public transit, and thought they looked somehow different from the rest of us, but couldn’t really place it.

Harry Potter was valuable in getting millions of people, especially children, interested in reading. Not everything needs to be high art, and not everything needs to appeal to you. You’re clearly not the target audience, so don’t shit on someone because they enjoy a thing that you don’t.
If there is something offensive in a book, it can and should be discussed, and readers can become aware of representation and other issues this way, but you’re not trying to have a good faith discussion with your comments above.
Deja Q is one of the funniest episodes for me.
I imagine it shows itself where processes get dropped, whether it’s walking into a room and forgetting what you were doing, losing train of thought mid sentence, or even passing out when you laid down to watch something.
