"Shotgun" is the front passenger seat of an automobile. You must loudly say the word “Shotgun” to stake your claim on it. After you have called it, you have exclusive rights for that ride.

It seems that fetuses not only warm to the sound of mother’s voice as they gestate, they also are being programmed in the direct patterns inherent in certain languages. By the time we are born, our dialect is determined. picked by bingo 16 hours ago

One thing I like about the ‘burbs is not having to fight for cheap parking or pay through the nose for expensive spots. Not so for people in Miami. Apparently, the scarcity of parking there has created much violence, a cottage industry involving the homeless, parking mafia and even a "magical meter fairy." picked by bingo 17 hours ago

Potter told the Daily Mail that, at first, he thought it was cool to have the same name as the whimsical wizard, but now it's just really annoying. As he told the paper, "After 12 years of it I couldn't count the amount of times I've heard 'You're a wizard, Harry.' It does wear a bit thin after a while.
