The word tuxedo for the men's outfit only cropped up in the late 1880s, were tuxedo cats just called irish marked before then?

I like it when NY shanks Trump hard. Makes me smile. Imagine being lucky to enough to be NYC born and bred and then growing to be such a tremendous pile of stinking hot garbage that the 2nd greatest city in the world disowns you and comes after you.

I have so many thoughts about Noah/Mirage, but most of them revolve around how generally on cybertron same sex couples are a normal thing, but the action on earth takes place in 1990's, where being gay wasn't that widely accepted and stuff so Noah wouldn't have been too like familiar with it, I think he never really gave it much thought, because he was too busy trying to find a job and earn money for his brother, but he knew like general opinion of the public which wasn't too positive, so he probably wouldn't pick up on like Mirage's flirting and stuff because he's not that familiar with the mlm or stuff idk I just think this would is an interesting dynamic, and I think when Noah would finally get it he would panic and need some time to like reevaluate his relationship with Mirage and to what conclusion he'll come up with I will leave to you

Sorry if this is very incoherent, like I said I have many thoughts, and none of them want to be compressed into logical sentences
