      You probably will hate to learn this, but you have hundreds of tiny mites living on and in your skin right now. ;) They're called Demodex mites, and they mostly hang out in your hair follicles and eat the dead skin and oil that your skin produces. For the vast majority of people the mites cause no harm; they're actually useful as they help keep your skin clean. But a small minority unfortunately do develop allergies to the mites (or more accurately, their feces).

    "Spatulas of Death" would make a kickass name for an 80's British punk band.

    • @rcrawford42
      @rcrawford42 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      "Spatula" is the Latin diminutive for "spatha", so a "spatula" is a "little sword". So the name works even better.
      (And "Caligula" is the same for "caligae" -- soldier's boots. So Emperor Caligula was "Little Boots" or, as I prefer, "Bootsie".)

      @justinwatson1510 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Since half the words in British English mean vagina, that would translate as either vaginas of death or spatulas of vagina. I guess there is a slight chance it could also mean vaginas vagina vagina.

And don't try to say something like "they're in the same neighbourhood and kind of British so it doesn't count". That'd be fighting talk. They did get the habit from us, though.
