Ginger is a strong flavor. Why does “gingery” mean spicy, peppery, bold, but “gingerly” means “delicate,” “careful” etc.? Are they actually unrelated? And why am I asking here instead of looking it up?

Me: researches best scholarly edition of text for teaching

Republican govs be like, if you’re worried about your children being exposed to books and woke discussions, move to red states! We don’t allow that stuff in the bars, mines, and slaughterhouses where they’ll work.

Crazy to me how some people are like, “it’s God’s plan for children to be shot” and also “Jesus helped me with my personal clothing style.” That god sucks too much to be god.
