    I feel like I need OregonNukeSailor's backstory. More for the name than the taxonomic viewpoints.

    I'm no nameologist but I think it means they were a sailor who rode nukes around Oregon, like that one cowboy riding a nuke in that cold war documentary I watched.

    Edit: here's a screenshot from the documentary

    Sigh, what’s the definition of milk?

    Edit:

    1. A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young. 
    1. The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans. 
    1. Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.

    It mentions coconut milk specifically

    I don't know if "give" is a fair word to use there, lol

    No, in nature the mothers do "give" the milk to their young. Misuse of "give" when referring to dairy cows, however, is common.

    According to Christopher Lee, one stabbed with a knife does not squeak, but sigh.

    Hey, I am entirely not trying to be an ass, but in situations like what just happened there, here is what I usually do:

    Christoper Walken Lee (EDIT: Derp)

    Something like that is what I try to do when I make a silly error, but want to showcase that I made the error, and then also accepted and made the correction.

    That way, if somebody in the future, who reads only the edited version of the comment/post/thread sees it, they can understand that perhaps other comment chains based off of the initial error are not non sequiturs.

    It also shows that you are humble and admit a mistake, and make a correction, which imo, are good things to showcase... as opposed to doing a 'stealth edit', which leaves no obvious signs of what the original comment was, in the comment itself.

    Semantics are to reasoning what puns are to comedy.
