(basic history)
"Jimmy Crack Corn" or "Blue-Tail Fly" is an American song which first became popular during the rise of blackface minstrelsy in the 1840s1. It is unclear who authored the song, but it is thought to have originated from African American culture2. The song's meaning is rooted in the experiences of enslaved people in the American South, who often used music and storytelling as a way to express their emotions and connect with each other3
As time progressed, this song sung by blacks was used to highlight white racism, and still is considered such today.

This is stretching things. Bacon has to be cooked, or, more properly, fried. Although it can be placed on a cookie sheet and cooked in the oven. Cookies can, and are baked and fried:

That's why I do not bother learning Latin. They love to over spell their words
late 14c., "making, producing immediate effect, active, effective," from Old French efficient and directly from Latin efficientem (nominative efficiens) "effective, efficient, producing, active," present participle of efficere "work out, accomplish," from assimilated form of ex "out" (see ex-) + facere "to do" (from PIE root *dhe- "to set, put")

Not all bagels have holes inside, but traditionally, they do. The hole in the center of a bagel serves several purposes:
- Historical Function: Bagels were stacked on dowels or threaded on ropes for display1.
- Even Cooking: The hole allows the dough to cook more evenly all the way through, keeping the bagel chewy without overcooking the outside23.
- Steam Vent: The hole acts as a natural vent, releasing excess moisture during baking2.

(excerpt)
Ezekiel refers back to Israel’s mixed parentage in Canaan to introduce two sisters of the prostitute (who, in Ezekiel’s time was identified with Judah’s capital Jerusalem). The two sisters were the cities Samaria (capital of the former northern kingdom) and Sodom. Both cities were destroyed by God’s judgment, but Jerusalem’s sin was worse than both (44-48). Sodom was well known for its greed and immorality, Samaria for its idolatry, but both cities now appeared righteous compared with Jerusalem. Surely, the destruction of Jerusalem was inescapable (49-52).
Samaria and Sodom may each have had some satisfaction in seeing Jerusalem suffer the same fate as they had suffered. Yet all three had hope for the future. After the overthrow of Babylon, the three regions of Palestine represented by these three cities would be restored and inhabited again (53-55). In the meantime Jerusalem had to bear the shame of its immoral behaviour. In times past, Jerusalem was ashamed to mention the sin of Sodom, but now her reputation was just as bad (56-58).

I have another question.
Why is it that when I stir together peanut butter and anything else, it turns into concrete? All natural peanut butter is often quite loose, almost runny. Grape jelly is also quite loose, almost runny. But if you stir them together well it sets up into something that you could throw at somebody and give him a concussion.

This is an etymological question: "Park" derived from the middle-english "paddock" which is derived from medival Latin "parricus" refers to an enclosed parcel of land used for the purposes of preserving a "wildlife" ecologly. A "parkway" is usually a road that leads you to a park; that does not mean that you should "park" your car on the road; rather, you should "park" when you arrive at the park; not on the way to the park.
Most people do not want their guests (or themselves) to have to walk from the road or tear up the lawn in order to reach their dwelling place; so they create a path or "way" on which you can drive your vehicle directly to their domicile.
The English language is renown for its shortcomings; but the meaning word "efficient" is accomplished in fewer total characters than in some other languages. For example:
Greek
αποτελεσματικός
Russian
эффективный
Latin
efficientis
In the English language, a double consonant helps with the determining if a words vowels are long or short; so, the double "F" has a linguistic purpose.
Some people just turn everything into a musical... Idk what their deal is; but the Lord has helped me just accept that for what it is.
Baking is merely a specific form of cooking; therefore, you do technically "cook" cookies. "bacon" isn't derived from the cooking method of "baking"; rather it comes from a term that refers to the "back" of the pig.
