"You're the shit" means the opposite of "you're shit" and "you ain't shit"

I've never seen "most environmental" or "fewer turns". We get "fewer toll roads" and sometimes "avoids traffic" during rush hour

Most often the "fancier" words are loanwords from other language. Plaintiff/Defendant are from the French "pleintif/defendant", litigation is from Latin. Firefighter, firetruck, and other compound words were created relatively recently compared to the others. Firefighters, firetrucks and newspapers mostly didn't exist until after English mixed with other languages.

I am also not familiar with train terminology meaning in America. What does it mean?

Whenever I come across a new lemmy instance, it most likely has some sort of obscure TLD (.world, .ml, .ee, .me, .social just to name a few). Why aren't there more with more common TLDs?
