[02:34:58] <mrpg> #g prayer circle
[02:34:58] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "A prayer circles is most simply where participants join hands in a literal circle of prayer, often as part of a vigil. Informal prayer circles have been practiced for ..."
[02:36:13] <mrpg> Fun fact: in Spanish a circle is called a disk. And the English circle is the circumference.
[02:36:57] <mrpg> círculo - disk
[02:37:52] <Bytram> what does Spanish call the circumference?
[02:38:25] <Bytram> and what does it call the stuff inside the circumference?
[02:39:50] <mrpg> Circumference - circunferencia
[02:40:22] <mrpg> The disk in English is the inside part. It is called "círculo"
[02:40:54] <mrpg> So we can't make a prayer circle but a circumference prayer :-)
[02:47:08] <Bytram> so there ARE separate words for the two parts, or should I say aspects.
[02:48:37] <mrpg> Yes, like in English.
[02:49:02] <Bytram> so not *so* strange... just different?
[02:49:06] <mrpg> Disk translates círculo and circumference translates circumferencia.
[02:49:28] <mrpg> Yes, I'd suppose circle is círculo but no.
[02:49:56] <mrpg> SO it is a case of false cognates.

[02:50:09] <MrPlow> https://www.fluentu.com - "Do you know your French faux amis? Here are 20 common French false friends (aka cognates) to watch out for!"
[02:50:29] <Bytram> TIL! Thanks for that!!

[02:53:07] <Bytram> hmmm
[02:54:18] <Bytram> so the dancing/music craze of the late 1970s and early 1980s -- what we in the US called "disco" would be... círculo-o?
[02:55:13] <mrpg> A LP is a disco.
[02:57:02] <Bytram> okaaay, so what was USA's "disco" called in Spanish?
[02:58:45] <mrpg> Disco comes from discoteque.
[02:58:50] <mrpg> I think música disco.
[02:59:00] <mrpg> same thing, disco music.
[03:00:15] <mrpg> Wait, wikipedia says that a "disco" and a "círculo" are the same thing, the points inside the circumference.
[03:02:05] <Bytram> I got it... right-ish"?? kewel beans
[03:02:26] <Bytram> and now Im filled and sleepy

[11:10:19] <boru> FatPhil; cmn32480; any comment on tobacco? I'm considering getting a supply of pipe tobacco from a US blender, one of whom's blends I tried and liked a lot, but whose tobacco I've been unable to source on this side of the wet.
[11:24:40] <FatPhil> boru: I'm not a tobacco person.
[11:25:44] <boru> Why not, you silly billy.
[11:25:50] <FatPhil> I think the last time I saw a pipe/tobacco shop was in Eire.
[11:26:23] <FatPhil> I'm quite smoke-averse. A nice pipe tobacco at a distance of about 5m is lovely though.
[11:26:45] <boru> Aye, fair enough.
[11:27:02] <boru> Feckin import taxes, though. They are a pain in the arse.
[11:29:30] <FatPhil> Yeah, the last big local customs crime I remember was a lorry lined with ciggies travelling from .ru here.
