It refers to the titties. He specifically wants to fuck the titties of a general.

Reply to comment by Consistent_Ad_4828 in TIL That in 1840s Australia, there was a rumor about a European women held against her will by the Kurnai people. For two years, the native people of the area were hunted, with a boy being captured. After arranging a meeting, the natives arrived with a statue; the figurehead from the ship, Britannia by gingkared184
Specifically every example I gave is from the US, because I assumed that person was from there.

Nothing British about it. This idiocy exists world over. Remember when the wrong guy got pointed to as the Boston marathon bomber? Or when someone shot up a pizza restaurant because of a rumour about paedophiles? Or when people stormed their nation's capital because someone who lost two popular votes in a row told them the election was rigged? Or remember when people, to this day, still try to claim a president of their nation wasn't actually from their nation and demanded he prove it, while also, to this day, claiming his wife is trans?

The Shamsīyah, a sect of sun-worshippers, persisted in southeastern Turkey (sometimes outwardly adopting Christian customs) until the early 1900s. by RexSueciae
Ooh edgy.

Fan fiction has a higher level of female readers and it's not necessarily sexual. If you made it purely sexual, or included fan art, she'd probably be higher.

They may have been previously? There's almost 150 years worth of names used for the states. The whole thing is a bit off tbh.

>-UK: Baby names in England and Wales Statistical bulletins, 2011 to 2018
-Canada: British Columbia 100 Years of Popular Baby names, 1918 to 2018
So not Canada, just BC, and not the UK, just England and Wales, which aren't the same thing. I mean, they'll show the same data, as England in the UK, is the US in your chart, but still it feels disingenuous to call it the UK when it isn't.
Also look at those years, 139 years for the US, 100 years for British Columbia, 75 for Australia, and 7 for England and Wales. I find it difficult to believe this doesn't somewhat skew this data.
Really this chart is just "gender neutral names in the US over a century and a half".

Or just make individual charts for Canada, England and Wales, and Australia, as this list is just the US.

The only Emerson I can think of connected to the UK is Emerson Quarterpounderwithcheese and Emerson Palmieri, both of whom are Brazilian footballers.

It's short for Roberta or Robert. Same as Pat being on the list, which you'd assume is short for Patricia or Patrick. There's more than a few flaws with this list.

I think they're connected though. A lot of these names are only unisex in America, maybe in Canada, but they don't even exist in the UK, or Australia.
>names like Mckinley which I think is quite Scotish.
As a surname, might be Scottish. As a first name though, no.

This strikes me as basically being the US. Must be about 70% of the total population? Half the names on your list don't/barely exist in the UK or Australia.

Reply to TIL in the 1950’s statues depicting Christopher Columbus making an indigenous woman flinch on one side and Davy Crockett arresting an indigenous man in front of his family on the other were taken down from the US capital by hillo538
I'm honestly surprised it happened that early.
