Word 23 (cont'd from @krinkle@polyglot.city):
"""
Ronseal (adj.)
of something to do precisely as one would expect from its outward description.
e.g. "a Ronseal deal", "a Ronseal solution".
"""
The phrase entered British vernacular after the 1994 TV advertising slogan "It does exactly what it says on the tin", by wood paint manufacturer Ronseal.

Just saw this headline: "Salad Dressing Recalled in 26 States"
Now imagining an article that is 26 interviews:
"Ummm... yeah I remember salad dressing. That's the liquid you put on salad to lubricate and flavor the leaves, right?" - A man from Nevada
etc etc
Alternately it's interviews with one person in 26 different mental states. States of matter? Idk

I've realised that the Haskell 'slogan' "avoid success at all costs" is ambiguous.
It can be parsed as "avoid success, at all costs" or "avoid success-at-all-costs". I'm not always sure which meaning is intended.

Thanks @ashneehs for suggesting I check out Brian Lagerstrom - today's breb is a teensy bit better than yesterday! XD
It's about 3:1 plan to whole-wheat flour. Had an oopsie with the first 30 minute rise, it's cold here so I put it in the oven's warming drawer, which I've never used, and it got significantly hotter than I had anticipated with the bowl coming out too hot to touch so that probably messed it up a bit XD And definitely need to use less water, it's humid here. But yay breb!
