A dictionary of modern slang, cant and vulgar words used at the present day in the streets of London.

There's this guy named John Camden Houghton and he wrote one of the better titled or at least most directly titled books I've ever heard of. And there's no colon. No there's not. There are a couple of commas though. A dictionary of modern slang can't invulgar words used at the present day in the streets of London.

And he does he has a chapter on rhyming slang and he basically says that it was two groups, Shaunters and patters basically traveling salesmen who would stand on street corners and hawk their wares and you know maybe pick your pocket while you were trying to buy something from them and that they came up with cockney rhyming slang.

He got a MacArthur Genius Grant in 1984 to kind of study this and write about it.

And he did, he wrote a book called Born to Rebel. It was about birth order.

It's pretty interesting. Identified which scientists were on which side of it either in support of this revolutionary thinking or opposed to it meaning that they were in favour of keeping the status quo and then determined what birth order they had.

He determined that first borns are much more likely to support the status quo whereas second borns or later borns he calls them are much more likely to support revolutionary thinking.

Born to Rebel was torn apart by some scientists like this is just pure pop psychology tripe.

And he did, he wrote a book called Born to Rebel.

Identified which scientists were on which side of it either in support of this revolutionary thinking or opposed to it meaning that they were in favour of keeping the status quo and then determined what birth order they had.

And he found after this study which is really, it was a big study that he did. It was a pretty, a lot of legwork and a lot of research. He determined that first borns are much more likely to support the status quo whereas second borns or later borns he calls them are much more likely to support revolutionary thinking.

And just one example as far as he used Darwinism, he said later borns between 1859 and 1875 were 4.6 times more likely than first borns to support Darwinism.

Betty Friedan who wrote a book called The Feminine Mystique that in 1964 sold a million copies.

And she probably gets at least a short stuff all on her own. She was really interesting.

The reason she wrote this book is because she did a survey for a college reunion for her former classmates, learned that many of her former female classmates were not super happy about being homemakers and not being able to work.

And sent her down a research rabbit hole on this, kind of became her passion project because she wanted to write a magazine article, like a really in-depth one. No one wanted it.

So she ended up publishing it as a book called The Feminine Mystique, which kind of rocked the world of America in the early to mid-60s.

Yeah, because like in this book, she's basically saying like this whole thing we're all going along with, this idea that the highest ideal a woman can aspire to is to be the best wife and mother she possibly can be and that that's her identity.

And now you're just flipping poop water up onto your nether regions and it's no longer helpful. So the idea that you could just sit there and spray a pump, a stream of water on there and not have to just flick the stuff out of the basin onto you. That's an enormous advancement.

I think about the same time that that pump handle came along, they also installed like a refillable tank. So you fill the water with tank and everything that was in the basin was all just wastewater. So you were good to go by 1750 as far as bidets were concerned. Yes. Everything was totally clean and totally safe by 1750. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
