The order you learn phrases matters a lot to how you figure their meaning.
I read a lot of WW2 books when I wasn't really old enough to understand what I was reading, but I figured out what "comfort woman" was from the context.
Flash forward a few years and the term "comfort dog" comes into usage and I had no frame of reference.
Um... yeah...
That can't mean the same thing can it?
THANKFULLY! It does not mean the same thing.
Just a lurker here for the most part. But I have to say, this is funny. Well done.
