This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you look up the definition of 'bully', Duckduckgo gives you results from a 19th century dictionary (i.imgur.com)

Now what’s a shanny?

a small European blenny (Blennius pholis) that is olive green with irregular dark spots and has no appendages on the head

Of course it is.

For those still wondering, a shanny/blenny is a little fish similar to a guppy, known for it's large eyes, blunt head and inability to acquire a proper-sounding name.
