The origins of ‘fool’
Wednesday is April 1, when people in many countries worldwide celebrate the custom ( ) of “April Fool’s Day.” On this day, they play pranks ( ) on each other, the pranksters gleefully ( ) calling those hapless ( ) enough to fall for ( ) the joke an “April Fool.”
Nobody really knows for certain ( ) when, where or why the custom started. We have more certainty over the origins of the word “fool” itself, although some details remain unclear.
The word, which refers to ( ) a silly, stupid, or ignorant ( ) person, is thought to originate ( ) in the early 13th century, deriving ( ) from Old French fol, meaning a madman or insane person. The French word, in turn, comes from the Latin follis, meaning a leather bag or a bellows ( ) and, by extension later on, an empty-headed ( ) person.
Fool also referred to a rogue ( ) or a sinful ( ), wicked ( ) or lecherous ( ) person — around 1300, a “fool woman” meant a prostitute ( ), for example — and also a court ( ) jester ( ), a person whose purpose was to entertain ( ) the king and court, whether because they were pretending to be buffoonish ( ) or whether they actually were like that.
One theory is that the idea of the court jester “fool” derives from folles — the plural form of follis (bellows) — referring to the puffed cheeks of a buffoon.
It is unclear which sense came first, that of the idiot or the jester.
「愚人」的起源
下週三是四月一日,許多國家的人在這天都有過「愚人節」的慣例,互相捉弄,惡作劇的人樂不可支地把那些不幸被騙倒的人稱作「April Fool」(四月的愚人)。
沒有人能確知愚人節這習俗到底是在何時、何地或為何開始的,但我們對「fool」(傻瓜)一字的由來比較能夠掌握多,儘管有些細節仍不甚明瞭。
「fool」這個字,現今指的是傻氣、愚笨或無知的人,通常被認為是源自十三世紀初期的古法語字「fol」,意指瘋子或精神失常的人。而這個字又是源於拉丁文「follis」,意為皮製的袋子或風箱,後來引伸為腦袋空空的人。
「fool」亦指惡棍或有罪、惡毒或淫蕩的人──例如在西元一三○○年左右,「fool woman」指的是妓女,亦指弄臣,也就是在宮廷中負責娛樂國王和朝臣的人,無論這些弄臣是故意裝瘋賣傻,還是本來就如小丑般滑稽。
有一說則是認為,「fool」字的「弄臣」之意,是源於「folles」──即「follis」(風箱的拉丁文複數形)──指的是小丑鼓脹的臉頰。
「fool」一字是先有「傻子」之意,還是先有「弄臣」之意,我們並不清楚。

These days i miss posting 616292627 selfies of me - like how i always did back in the days. I dont need a reason for doing things i feel like doing right? I’m sorry myself for judging myself. Sorry for having the tendency to turn my online diary space to be an “artist-like” page. Like wtf. Now that i think about it im like WHY? miss Kim? WHY? Haha, so silly... ughhh sorry to let u know i do have that tendency and lets hi5 thru the net if you put pressure on yourself sometimes on online image. We shouldnt righttt!! But it does happen sometimes ughhh... Not that i showed anyone the wrong side of me.. its just i know that sometimes i just do things how i guess it should be done by “anyone whos in my position” not “me”.. In the end i always felt like an artist before getting into this field anyway, i miss that spontaneous Kimmm, i miss writing long captions that dont necessarily have a meaning ( i actually still do these but idk i should do more hahaaaaa) im so gonna go back and do things that make me feel so “me”. Im gonna remember this light that recent industry experiences somehow helped me to realise👀 Lets live unbranded ❤️🙏🏻 lets remind each other each day to notice how we feel inside and stay true to ourselves ❤️ now u go and spam my feed with your long captions of true feelings and silly selfies and the trees you’re attracted to loll orrr whatever you like to shareeee

聰明 vs 天才
香港人公開考試成績名列前茅,多年來一直被人公認是「聰明仔」。香港大部份人都只是聰明仔,原因是天才的創意都被後天環境扼殺了。
當年在美國讀書,一開始上堂覺得自己很聰明,鬼佬計數好慢,上堂問埋晒啲無關課程的問題,但教授又會陪佢癲走去答佢。
課程中段發覺,他們學習慢是因為會想不同的東西,中段時他們的學習進度開始加快,往往能舉一反三。考試時,考題竟都是短短的open questions,才知道自己只是技術形,技術以外的東西沒有太多內容可以作答。相反,鬼佬們都滔滔不絕,能輕易將理論應用,甚至創出新的理論。
很多人都認為天才是天生,聰明能夠後天操練。其實一般的天才都是後天的,聰明才是天生。
某程度上「乖孩子」只是follower,「叛逆」反映著天份和潛能。可是在老師們眼中乖才是好孩子。有怎樣的社會價值觀,就有怎樣的孩子。

#Emoji #Gummy #Recipe #Recipe #ASMR #OddlySatisfying
We made lemon-flavored emoji gummies!
The word "emoji" has no connection to "emotion." It comes from japanese "e-," meaning picture, and "moji," meaning "character."
Recipe
1) Lightly coat the mold with vegetable oil.
To make the gummies:
2) White: Warm 20g of milk, being careful that it doesn't boil over, and add 3g of powdered gelatin. Stir until mixed.
3) Brown: Add 10g of hot water to 30g of chocolate syrup. Add 5g of powdered gelatin and stir until mixed.
4) Yellow: Add 30g of powdered gelatin to 210g of hot water and stir until mixed. Add 90mL of yellow shaved ice syrup and mix.
5) Red and blue: Add 2g of powdered gelatin to 15g of hot water and stir until mixed. Add 5mL of shaved ice syrup and mix. If the color is still too pale, add food coloring.
6) Pour each of the liquid gelatins into the mold. When overlapping different colors, be sure the gelatin has hardened and cool it before putting the next color in. It may depend on the size, but it should harden after about an hour in the refrigerator.
If the powdered gelatin does not dissolve well or hardens while you are working with it, it helps to heat it in the microwave while watching carefully, then try to mix again. Be very careful that the liquid gelatin does not start to boil while you are heating it.
The chocolate gummies will become harder the more times you microwave them, and become more difficult to work with, so add 1 tsp of hot water and mix to stop them from getting boiled down.
emojiグミ作りました。ちなみにレモン味です。
THE EMOJI MOVIE #EmojiMovie ももうすぐ公開されますね。
もしかして海外ではemojiのemoはemotionだと思ってるからそのままemojiで使ってるのかな?
*レシピ*
1.型に植物油を薄く塗る。
グミを作ります。
2.白・・・沸騰しない程度に温めた牛乳 20gに粉ゼラチン 3gをふり入れ、かき混ぜる。
3.茶色・・・チョコレートシロップ30gに熱湯 10gを入れ混ぜる。粉ゼラチン 5gをふり入れ、かき混ぜる。
4.黄色・・・熱湯 210gに粉ゼラチン 30gをふり入れ、かき混ぜる。常温の黄色のかき氷シロップ90mlを入れ混ぜる。
5.赤と青・・・熱湯 15gに粉ゼラチン 2gをふり入れ、かき混ぜる。かき氷シロップ5mlを入れ混ぜる。色がさみしい時は食用色素を入れる。
6.それぞれのゼリー液を型に入れていく。色を重ねる時は前のグミがしっかり固り、ゼリー液を冷ましてから入れる。大きさにもよるが冷蔵庫で1時間位で固まる。
粉ゼラチンが溶け切らない場合や作業中固まってしまった時は電子レンジで様子を見ながら加熱し混ぜるとよい。ゼリー液を加熱する時は沸騰させないように気をつけること。チョコレートグミは電子レンジで加熱する回数が重なると固くなり、扱いづらくなるので、熱湯 小さじ1を足し混ぜると煮詰まりが解消される。
