US news site calls Leicester rugby player a 'prostitute' in mistranslation of 'hooker'
For those readers less familiar with the sport, the hooker is one of the forwards in a team, playing in the front row during a scrum.
The name derives from their role of “hooking” the ball back with the foot. It has nothing to do with sex work.
Yet, incredibly, it’s not the first time Insider Voice has been tripped up by the title.
Almost two weeks before the “prostitute” mishap, they announced that Bath’s Ross Batty was retiring from the game by branding him a “whore”.

I think they need to just call it a day on their rugby coverage.
OMG, they did it again! They must have some sort of autocorrect on or something.

Irish prostitute Ronan Kelleher has joined a Lions training camp as cover, due to a shortage of prostitutes.Last edited by Jolly Roger; 06-17-2021, 02:08 PM.Comment

Re: Off-Topic
Can't believe the same lottery I mentioned weeks ago has been at 70M for the last 2 weeks because nobody has won.
Also has 70 1M prizes available too.
I know it probably has a 0.00000000000000001% chance of happening, but it's always fun to imagine.
Although in over 12 hours from now if I'm lucky, I'll probably find out I won....a free ticket for the next draw. I've had multiple draws where I didn't even get a single number right.Comment

That type of jackpot, worth it to grab a ticket or two, why not?
I'll lend you my scratch off luck of getting the "Double Winnings!" icon only for it to be double 1$.Comment

Re: Off-Topic
Was in a hit and run on the highway late last night. Was just driving in the right lane around the speed limit and a car going waaaaaay too fast just crashed into me and then swerves into the left lane and drives away while I try to get my car under control. Happened so fast and it was dark so I couldn’t see anything about their car. I’m ok, I’m assuming the pos is fine too, my car is totaled

You'll obviously see stupid drivers all times of the day, but it definitely feels like the ones who go super fast and/or have loud engines drive around at night.Comment

Re: Off-Topic
Driving late at night you see some bizarre (putting it lightly) driving out there. When I used to work grave shifts I'd be driving to work at around 1:30 am on the freeway and I'd always see sketchy look cars acting weird; changing speeds constantly, going from like 55 to 70, suddenly speeding up and zooming off when you were about to pass them, like your presence as another car on the road suddenly woke them up from some kind of altered existence. What I refer to as high maintenance drivers. People that we just have to sit back and avoid so that their erratic/aggressive decisions don't **** up our life.Comment

Re: Off-Topic
Going back to the 2nd vaccine side effects. Sounds like many have had bad 2nd dose side effects, some seems to be on and off for days or even beyond. People seem to suggest that worse side effects means the vaccine is really working.
Although for me, mine were real minor for just over 24 hours after (most of which were just related to the shoulder pain, such as my back being sore since I had to sleep at awkward angles), but really nothing bad.
I wonder if less side effects are good or bad.
Then again, I'm not someone who often got sick to begin with, so perhaps my body has already been good at fighting things off.Comment
