The more you know. I always thought faucet was used colloquially like "another faucet of information."

I stand corrected.

Well... Not to confuse the matter but a 'faucet of information' could technically be correct, if you're referring to a source of information. A FACET is like another side of something. A different face, if you will

Yeah, that could be a metaphor, I think. Or simile? I have forgotten my English lessons

I never thought about that, but “faucet” in that context totally makes sense too! That’s delightful—my partner had a very similar thing where they thought “SMH” meant “so much hate”, or SMDH “so much damn hate”. In all contexts, it just kinda worked!

Yeah its more like different facets of the same diamond, in my head at least

I guess more appropriately would be the same gem cut in different facets

Idk English is weird lol
