Americans prefer showers because showering is a kind of job- you stand, you scrub, you shampoo. In comparison, bathing is inactive. You lie in a bathtub, your eyes closed. You accomplish nothing. By the end of a long bath, you're slightly older and slightly cleaner. So undervalued are baths in our culture that there is no word for "taking a bath," as there is for showering. (The word bathing covers all types of personal cleansing.) For this reason, I suggest the word bathifying, which conveys some of the leisurely thoughtfulness of the bathtub. Bathifying resembles edifying, meaning "tending to educate or uplift."

Apparently this happened on the 4th of July (See wikipedia).
Joey Chestnut ate 66 Hot dogs in 12 MINUTES ???
Hmmm........that gives rise to a new word. He EXAGGERATE 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes.
One of the descriptions for 'exaggerate' is 'hyperbolize'.........
-and I'm sure that would be MOST necessary for one who has exaggereaten SO MANY hot dogs SO QUICKLY. He won't be able to just metabolize them, would he ?
Your thoughts........ ?

Hello there,
Wouldn't you mind if my membership in this community starts with asking for help?
I am an English-learning student and currently engaged in arranging a sort of a competition. I am not familiar to the large extent with old English/American cinema and music.
I need to know the most of information about the origin of the phrase "Another Day, Another Dollar".
What I've already found is a 1967 British TV film and 1982 EP by punk rock band "Gang of Four".
Would be grateful for any info that could help me to talk about this phrase for at least 10 minutes ;)
Thanks in advance,
Chamil Biktach
