Don't let any ignorant Southerners call you a "Nutmegger."
That's our word. We call each other that.

Reply to comment by Useful_Sundae in TIL John Batman was the founder of the town that became Melbourne, Australia. And originally he called it "Batmania". There's even a street named after him: Batman Ave. by idiocrites
Melbourne Florida was founded by Cornthwaite Hector. So there's a name for you.

Reply to TIL Al Capone was only 33 when he was locked away for tax evasion and developed neurosyphilis, leading to his death at 48. Eliot Ness was 27 when he formed the Untouchables--he died in a state of financial ruin in his 50s, likely hastened by his heavy drinking in his later life by capsaicinintheeyes
They recently made a movie about the last year of Capone's life. You know when he was frail and hallucinating.
I'd try to look up the name for you, but it was a terribly boring movie.

I used to own a taxi company. On one occasion, I was driving a Crown Victoria that had not gotten the taxi markings on it yet and the guy in front of me just pulls right over and lets me pass. So I can relate.
