RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 09/17/18> Black sheep, blacklisted, black balled… why is black almost always the adjective describing something bad?

Well I stand correct, not always but quite a bit of the time.
I am not familiar with that old Sci-Fi series, never really got into the Sci-Fi stuff so that is also new to me, enough of what we consider as science and space travel as being real seems like it is being proven to have been fiction so I just don't know now what is real and what is fake when it comes to that stuff.
Thanks for dropping in and sharing with us, where exactly are you from Bengy?

Sort:  

White anting (undermining!), just thought of that one!

I'm originally from Australia (the land of black swans!) where apparently every thing unusual is normal! Now I live in The Netherlands, where we have boring old white swans!

Well that explains a lot , not only do the people from Australia talk with a funny accent they evidently has gotten confused on a lot of things from all the extra gravity that has to hold them on the earth since they are down under from most folks on the earth.
That accent they speak with must be from having to work so hard to speak, since the body is designed to work right side up not upside down.
Have you been able to lose that accent, if you did have it, now that you are in the Netherlands?

Ha ha, no you have it backwards! You guys have the funny accent from being upside down!

I didn't have a hugely strong accent to begin with so I'm not sure that it has changed much... Although non native English speakers do still have trouble when I say certain writers... Late and light sound the same to them!
