    Most insults we use are insulting to the disabled, the poor, anyone who is the butt of horrid jokes. Even the ones we think are fairly harmless. E.g. 'villain' which pretty much means 'person who is not quite a slave'. And that's become our word for a bad person. And 'barbarian' was the 'ching chong' of its day. I still remember the well meaning campaign that tried to stop people using 'gay' as a substitute for 'lame'. Which totally ignored that lame was also a word that provably shouldn't be used.

    This idiom has always bothered me. Do Americans actually kiss their mothers?

    Here in Finland we only kiss two things: dogs and people we have sex with. I guess mothers might kiss their kids on the cheek, but you sure as hell don't kiss her back.

    It's not a great place to work.
    You need the hex crank to get into the break room, and someone keeps putting it in the hand of the statue that only unlocks when you turn the two busts to face each other.
    And don't even get me started on what you need to do to open the fire exit...

    The bathrooms are the worst though. They technically only need the Green Key but you have to fight Tom in a miniboss battle every time.

    It depends on your cultural background but yeah most americans kiss their mom on the cheek. For catholics it extends to your aunts.

    From the article:
    Theunis said he watched a TV program about storm chasers, so he's familiar with them.

    The tornado moved away to the east, he said.

    "It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us," he said.

    "I was keeping an eye on it."

    Well, alright bud, see ya at next year's Darwin Awards I guess.

    Meh, that's not excessively unreasonable. Mowing the lawn you naturally turn around pretty frequently so he can keep an eye on it, it shouldn't be too hard to see if it's coming towards him or if it's going to the side and it's probably at least a few km away

    Plus he's going to have to mow the lawn one way or another

    If the tornado is visible you should be in shelter. Anything else is risking death.

    They can be visible for miles. Depending on the area, tens of miles.

    I know they're deadly and dangerous but, admittedly, awe inspiring and absolutely amazing to look at.

    Even with my bad advice above, however, I won't venture out if they say the tornado is "rain-wrapped." That right there is some scary shit.

    Meh. Growing up somewhere that has daily tornado warnings in the summer, if we'd quit everything we were doing while a tornado was on the ground within visual range, we all would have starved to death.

    The basement is right over there. If we need to, we can get there plenty fast enough. Or we can just drive orthogonal to the tornado for a minute and a half and be fine.

    I'm from somewhere flat enough that you can see a funnel touch down two counties over. The primary thing keeping you from observing grounded tornados is often the curvature of the earth. Waiting every observable tornado out in the basement is simply unreasonable.

    Edit: To put a finer point on it; we could see many, many tornados that we didn't get warnings for. If you get a credible threat statement from the weather radio or television, then you absolutely take precautions and hit the basement. But if there's nothing squawking at you about it and it's clearly way over there, it's not worth panicking over. I imagine it's the equivalent of very minor earthquakes in places that are waiting on the big one.
