Yikes!! Crazy day for the locals. Good one vinylkid58.
I took that long skinny road up that mountain many years ago.
Some of the melted cars still out there.

On that day in history we were studying for finals.
It was quite a column of ash down South and the seismograph in the basement of our Physics Dept went off the rails..
Breaking news. Exclusive to us. Iconic. Keora. Stay with us. Dont miss out. Only while stocks last. Hurry sale ends monday.
I am getting pretty tired of hearing “Oh my god” Almost like it’s the only expression that folks can come up with these days. Sheep mentality?

I think we all have standard phrases that we trot out. "Whoops" is the one I mutter quietly when something goes wrong. "F*ck" when it goes very wrong. In both instances, mind has been temporarily overloaded by the scale of the disaster.
I'm wondering what "Keora" means? When I was a kid, cinemas used to sell wildly over-priced orange squash (water plus lots of sugar and a few additives) called Kia Ora.

Que Hora? As in Que Hora Es?
Literally, What Hour? Idiomatically, What Time Is It?
Time to drink Kia Ora!
Get it?
As in, you just told me something you thought was complicated, while most of us learned it in grade 5.

One that gets me is when people throw "yeah" into the middle of a sentence. "I went to the grocery store and yeah, got some milk"
A local radio newsreader throws that in the middle of a lot of their sentences.
Newsreaders are supposed to stick to the script; that's what they're paid for. The key word there is "reader." No matter what their ego says, they're rarely paid for any journalistic quality.
"Like" and "Yeah" and "You know" are fluff words; no meaning, and just there to fill a silence. Like, I despise them, you know?
I can (just) work out "Que hora es?" but not when I went to the local cinema. Kia Ora was awful stuff. Even to a thirteen-year-old.
