40 isn’t old if you’re a tree - a sentiment I can get behind

I am instantly intrigued by the possibility of defenestrating more than 100% of the hostiles I take out.

Is this phrase filthy to you?

If I said to you the phrase "Everything's coming up [x]!", would you think the phrasing was filthy in any kind of way?

e.g.

"I'm doing really well at work, I'm financially stable, and my home is comfortable. Everything's coming up me!"

So I know that current best practice is to refer to New Zealand as Aotearoa whenever possible, but:

When speaking about English and accents-for-English, it does feel a bit odd to say 'Aotearoan English' instead of 'New Zealand English/New Zealander accent,' since the English language and the English name are a result of the same colonization. Like, 'this is the accent of the language, in that language' or whatever. Should I refer to it as an Aotearoan accent, or does that suggest a slightly different accent, like which word you use to describe the accent indicates which language you learned first or which region you live in?

IDK, what do you guys think? I don't expect it to cause much fuss, whichever I use in this footnote, but I want to know if there's already a standard, and I couldn't figure out how to phrase the search for a search engine to help.

(I tend to overthink accent stuff due to my own background in terms of language; my first language was Serbian, but I speak Serbian with a noticeable American accent, and my parents speak English with a noticeable Serbian accent; despite that, people can still notice that my Serbian is of a Belgrade-and-rural-Croatia variety, because that's where my parents are from, so I arguably also have a Belgrade accent, which... yeah. Overthinking, and assuming other people/languages have the same kind of overthinking..)

I was looking for screenshots of these two watching their match together, and this headline was like, "Hey, you weird queer kinky bitch! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!"
