I own plenty of warm clothing. Of course I also have a birthday suit, but it's very pale and some people actually think it should be illegal for me to show it off in public.

    They pretty much always do anyway. I have one of those names similar to a popular one, but different. In fact the original name, but not common outside of French speaking countries. Was great when I lived in France, though!

    The third option should be always picking the cashier line that turns out to be the slowest. I'm a pro at that. Anyone who grts behind me in line has also made the wrong choice.

    Wear socks that aren't paired. It's just a social convention that the socks must be paired. For their function, keeping your feet warm it doesn't really matter

    I'm the same way XD And I was an English major/have a degree in English/Creative Writing XD I KNOW the words, I know a LOT of words, but when I'm talking, I forget all of them XD I end up flailing my arms around and saying stuff like "You know, the THINGY. THE THINGY. The ROUND thingy!" while the other person stares at me blankly. My now-ex used to tell me that I spent too much time online and was losing my vocabulary because I looked at too many memes (I'm serious, he actually said that) but joke's on him, I've been not finding the right word since LONG before we met 25 years ago....
