Maybe people used to move more but not as far? So people nowadays are more likely to move across the country or even abroad, whereas folks used to move frequently around their hometown?

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness.
Interesting that this is the only one that refers to uncovering your own nakedness. Does that mean masturbation? Or is it really forbidding looking at yourself naked?

I've noticed immigrants and children of immigrants in Britain pick up regional accents. Americans rarely do. A Chinese-American's kids will maybe have a slight drawl if he's grown up in Tennessee, even if he's assimilated. An assimilated Chinese-Brit's kids will sound more or less the same as any other Yorkshireman or whatever.
Maybe that's more of an outsider's perspective and Brits think the same thing in reverse.

I'm glad women are there to carry the load
No one had better laugh at that! Not even a snicker! We're better than that, guys.

Yeah "Welcome to Derry" was awful. The military subplot was a narrative stop sign, the Indians were a time-consuming macguffin factory, we don't need another story based around horcruxes I mean infinity stones I mean magic shards or whatever dumb crap that was, completely unneccessary to the plot, there was like thirty characters too many, the monster was weirdly focused on horrific simulated childbirth scenes (somebody's fetish, obv). Just a disaster on every level.

I was recently hiring a freelancer on Freelancers.com, and it was impossible to distinguish between them, they were all AI-written and virtually identical.
Wiktionary has it meaning kill, with a quote from 2017. I'm sure I've heard it with that meaning from long before that too.
