Will Ðe Draigon | Idk just feels like a bit of a weak area in a lot of people's thinking about the languages, shrug | 11:26:48 |
Campbell | Guess he needed the space for Luxembourgish ducks | 14:50:22 |
insising | It's probably just extra space, especially since attempting to study Frisian immediately reveals that there is no "one Frisian language". | 18:30:31 |

Campbell | Is it really dated like it says? | 19:23:07 |
_me0wster | my granny said her granny's generation called it that. It's almost certainly dated | 19:28:30 |
_me0wster | mostly because the item itself isn't really a common feature in kitchens/sculleries now | 19:30:25 |
Campbell | So the word scullery is still used then | 19:33:49 |
thespaceace | I've seen "scullery" still in use in my own line of work, strangely enough. | 19:43:28 |
Campbell | In North America? | 19:46:41 |
thespaceace | Yes | 19:47:00 |
thespaceace | Specifically the US NAvy | 19:49:10 |
thespaceace | The Navy is really big on tradition, and a lot of its traditions are simply carried on from old British Royal Navy tradition. There are a lot of ship-specific words that all sailors/mariners use (head, galley, bulkhead, etc), but we also still retain the use of some archaic British English words in certain applications, like you'll see kitchens on Naval bases labelled as "sculleries". | 19:49:42 |
_me0wster | very much so | 20:18:03 |
_me0wster | as the place to do dishes, laundry, that's not in the kitchen | 20:19:55 |
thespaceace | Oh yeah I kind of misspoke above. We would probably call the whole kitchen/eating area a galley, but the place where dishes and silverware are cleaned is usually the scullery. I've found a few restaurants in the mainland US which use the word "scullery" in their name though, which seems very random. | 20:24:46 |
_me0wster | yeah, im not sure I'd wanna eat at The Scullery lol | 20:35:24 |
thespaceace | Yeah, it sounds like you're licking what's left off the dirty dishes if you there | 20:47:01 |
Da Kappa Goddess (she/her) | can a jawbox no be onie scullerie sink? | 20:55:26 |
