It was originally a term for Poitín back in 1600s – 1700s Ireland when the British outlawed private distilleries. There's a song about it written in 1882. From there it probably got picked up as a term for moonshine

Gee, 136 years, that's a lot. Let's see:

The tech start-up "Chuuchuu" has analyzed more than 17.3 million train journeys in Europe for the year 2025. The result: the delays added up to a total waiting time of almost 136 years. Germany's trains are at the bottom of the rankings.

Hang on..

17.3 million train journeys

136 years / 17.3 million journeys = 4.13 minutes per journey.

What is that fallacy called?

The councillors were Oliver Bradshaw, Dean Burns, Amelia Randall, Garry Sturley and Pamela Williams. They posed with protesters including a heavily-tattooed man wrapped in a British Movement flag, who Byline Times identified as a former National Front activist.

The context of this was describing an incident last year where five Reform councillors posed for photos with a known neo-Nazi (Mike Gott of the British Movement) outside of County Hall.

TENERIFE, Spain, June 12 (Reuters) - Pope Leo boarded a Falcon jet offered by ​the King of Spain after a technical issue ‌grounded the larger papal plane on the island of Tenerife, delaying his return to the Vatican on Friday at ​the end of a week-long tour of ​Spain.

The Spanish government said the air force plane ⁠used by the king would fly the pope ​and several members of his delegation to Rome. The ​rest of the delegation and reporters will travel on another plane being sent from Madrid.

Leo had already boarded his Iberia-operated ​flight after being seen off by King Felipe ​and other Spanish dignitaries, but was then escorted off the ‌aircraft ⁠by the king back to the terminal. In announcements made after the pope had disembarked, the captain said the engine had likely failed to start because of ​the wind. ​He later said ⁠the issue could not be resolved immediately and that passengers would have to ​leave the plane. Iberia said in a statement ​that ⁠the plane had experienced an unspecified technical issue and that a replacement plane was being sent from Madrid ⁠that ​would complete the journey to ​Rome on Friday.
