Thank you. You're doing the work of some lord or other.
34 0 ReplyNougat @fedia.io “Lord” came from a phrase like “loaf warden” or “loaf guardian.” Because bread was the very important staple food, and someone had to be responsible for its safekeeping. Likewise, “Lady” comes from “loaf maiden,” presumably having something to do with the creation of bread from raw materials.

scrion @lemmy.world Absolutely correct. Lady stems from bread-kneader, in fact: https://www.etymonline.com/word/lord

2 0 Replyscrion @lemmy.world I can't tell if you are implying any disagreement, so I'll just add that the Proto-Germanic origin for the second half of lady (hlǽfdige) definitely stems from kneading: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/daigijǭ
Other than that, sounds like an interesting podcast!

Haha, oh my gosh... Pace tastes like the most disguising, sugary, boring ass salsa ever. It's wild to see they ever tried to market themselves as authentic.
