Interesting. I heard something similar, only with Scotland and salmon. Both true? One apocryphal, one true? Or both apocryphal?

I believe this. For example, I think current sex symbol Channing Tatum is ā¦ super weird looking. His head looks like a fencepost. But the guy is funny as heck, and apparently really nice, so heās become more attractive to me.

People love to hate on Godfather 3. I remember hearing how terrible it was. I finally watched it for the first time a few years ago and found it was actually pretty good. I mean yeah, it wasnāt as good as the first two, Sofia Coppola wasnāt that great (but really not that bad either). Taken on its own merits it really doesnāt deserve its reputation as a such a stinker.

This is weird: I love spiders but centipedes freak me out.
Thatās either one or two unpopular opinions depending on the person.

Hell, it was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars that year. Canāt have been all that bad.

Yea! Since it is an unpopular opinions thread, it might not inspire pages of debate. Not that I mind debate, but it can derail.
Apocrypha is secret, not inaccurate.
Not unlike the similar āapocalypseā, the meanings people popularly use are inspired by and re-enforce Christian hegemony. For instance, MOST apocryphal texts are not books missing from the Christian Bible. And MOST apocalypse (secret visions) are not anything like that of Saint John (end of the world!). Since I am not Christian (not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that) I am not invested in those specialized meanings.

Neat! That is one is definitely worth sharing in the cooking thread.

In everyday English, apocryphal means āof doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true: an apocryphal story about a former president.ā (Oxford American Dictionary).

Many are the cinematic turds that have been nominated for and won multiple Oscars, many are the fine films that have been snubbed entirely. (Is that opinion popular or unpopular?)

There are no Everyday English. English is but a mask which we don only once weāve eaten our bowl of centipedes.

Iāve had this discussion with many, many heterosexual women over the course of my life. At least among the women I know, we call it āmorphing.ā Another potentially unpopular opinion: In the hetero-normative realm, women have a much longer history with this phenomenon than men.

I want to do more than just ālikeā that because I feel that with each āupgradeā iTunes ( the main Apple program I use) becomes more and more useless.
And this is a problem not limited to Apple. Most software has interfaces designed by people who neither know nor care about usability and feel itās better to mold the usersā behavior than respond to their needs. And Iāve talked to developers whoāve confirmed that.
Yeah, kind of hit a nerve there.

Aw see now I like Family Guy. 2.5 Men is right there with TTBT. Hard to say which is worse.
