Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/Memes@lemmy.world - General memes

That's still rein.
(grin) Yeah -- I realised that after I wrote it.
As unbelievable as it sounds I had only ever heard it said -- I'd never seen it written down. (Or if I have I don't remember seeing it written down -- must have been twenty, thirty years ago.) I am not a horse person, so I don't deal with vocab relating to horses all that often.
Just one of those things I guess.
Don't be too hard on yourself. English spelling is not exactly cooperative.
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think.
