I learned a character in the other day that was defined as amount; or picture frame. 🤬

I was swearing at that--how can one word have meanings that dissimilar? How can I remember that?

But then today walking in the city I passed the Latitude nightclub. I'd seen that in other cities-- it is a good name for a nightclub, in the sense of permission to bend the rules a bit.

Or a line in the map marking distance from the equator.

🤬 How did one word get such dissimilar meanings??

😂

@chiasm What was the character, by the way?

@chiasm in Spanish, waters, means, well, waters...

However, "waters!" Can also mean "watch out!" Or "be careful!"
