Happy Wednesday Y'all!
This week's Gen-Z Phrase of the Week:
|
Definition:
A person's house or place of residence
|
Context:
The German word Krippe for βcrib, mangerβ (likely
related to the German word Krebe for basket) meaning "enclosed child's bed
with barred sides" is 1640s; probably from frequent use in reference to the manger
where infant Jesus was laid.
The modern use of βcribβ from rap and pop culture possibly
stems from likening your home to a baby bed β a place of comfort and safety. It
was popularized in 2000 by the MTV show, Cribs, where celebrities show off their
homes.

Fact:
A babyβs first poop doesn't stink. The black,
tar-like stuff called meconium is made up of mucus, fluid from the womb, and anything
else they digested while inside mom. But it doesn't yet have the gut bacteria
that make poop smelly. As soon as you start feeding a baby, bacteria will start
colonizing their intestines. After a day or so, bowel movements become green,
yellow, or brown⦠with that familiar odor.
