Where did your parents meet each other for the first time?

*❓I didn't know that*

Q: *Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's clothes have buttons on the left?*
A: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's right! And that's where women's buttons have remained since.

Q: *Why do ships and aircraft use 'mayday' as their call for help?*
A: This comes from the French word m'aidez. meaning 'help me'. and is pronounced, approximately, 'mayday.'

Q: *Why are zero scores in tennis called 'love'?*
A: In France, where tennis became popular, the round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called 'l'oeuf,' which is French for 'the egg.' When tennis was introduced in the US, Americans (mis)pronounced it 'love.'

Q. *Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?*
A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.

Q: *Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called 'passing the buck'?*
A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing, he would 'pass the buck' to the next player.

Q: *Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?*
A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host's glass with his own.

Q: *Why are people in the public eye said to be 'in the limelight'?*
A: Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and theatres by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, a performer 'in the limelight' was the centre of attention.

Q: *Why is someone who is feeling great 'on cloud nine'?*
A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud. If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.

Q: *In golf, where did the term 'caddie' come from?*
A. When Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl, Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scots game 'golf.' He had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie'.

Q: *Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?*
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.' When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a container that resembled a pig. And it caught on.


*So there you are! Now you know!*

Well, after reading the comments on #KidzTalk (the post related to GAC applications) carefully, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't anyone's fault. @GymnastPower did nothing wrong at all, @Kitten shouldn't be blamed either, and @KnightStar did nothing.
''Attack Helicopter'' is offensive to the LGBTQIA+ community, it's true. But Knight used it just as a joke. So we shouldn't take it seriously.
Knight doesn't believe in any other genders except male, female and trans. It's her own choice. Different people might've different opinions. Here, Knight and Gymnast just stated their opinions. I see no point to argue.
And lastly, Knight wasn't ''threatening to leave'' because of anyone. But because of her personal problems, she said that herself. If you had read her diary, you'd know how much mental depression she has to go through every single day. She's dying inside. I don't know how a person can go through that much darkness in their life. If she feels better when she goes offline, then let her go. Let her feel better. So, Kitten shouldn't be blamed, he didn't do anything.
You three should solve this misunderstanding by discussing together and by becoming friends again.
