I feel the same sort of way about chartreuse. Can we just switch them?

Chartreuse is literally named after the green French liquor.

It's my favorite alcohol, and the color is amazing.

I will not accept this blasphemy

You're thinking cat lady. It's Charades.

[–] Spur4383@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bar, charades is a game. You are thinking of charlatan.
