THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN tells the remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who, with the support of his family and friends, managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open qualifying, despite never playing a round of golf before. With pluckiness and unwavering self-belief, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, drawing the ire of the golfing elite but becoming a British folk hero in the process. The film debuted to excellent reviews at last year’s London Film Festival. It now has a UK release date of March 18th 2022.

Lol . The easy answer . But it is wrong . spa75:

Well now . This is interesting . You seem to not know the answer . Yet you make a comment with the implication of the answer in it .
The answer is Unkindness . Lol . I'm going to give it to you . HMMM ? IDK what to think . Well done either way .
BTW a group of Crows is known as a Murder of Crows .
But this guy says :
They’re not the ones that annoy me. But “murder of crows,” and the like—the ones that people giggle over despite no actual instance of anyone using the term to refer to a flock of crows maybe ever in history—those need to go.
More facts :
By voice
While crows caw and purr, ravens croak and scream bloody murder. Listen and compare the American Crow to the Common Raven:
In flight
Ravens ride the thermals and soar, whereas crows do more flapping. Also, as mentioned in the podcast, the raven's tail resembles a wedge, compared to the rounded fan-like shape of the crow's.
Up close
Ravens have bigger, curvier beaks relative to crows. While both species have bristles at the base of the beak, the raven's are noticeably longer. Its throat feathers are also quite shaggy.

.RULES OF GOLF-- TRUE OR FALSE. A PLAYER MAY REPAIR A PITCH MARK THAT IS ON THE GREEN IF HIS BALL LIES OFF IT. craigswan:
true
Your fix was fine. Under Rule 13-2, you can repair a pitch mark as long as doing so doesn't involve improving your line of play, the area of intended stance or swing, or the position or lie of the ball pdb1:
RULES OF GOLF--True or False--It is ok for a player to stick a lump of lead tape on his or her driver, for the purpose of adjusting its weight before starting his or her round. craigswan:
true
the answer is yes, it is legal to use on any and all of your clubs and shafts according to Rule 14-3. You must put it on before the round starts. If you alter your clubs during a round in any way (like adding tape, changing a setting of your driver), you would face a penalty for doing so.

Do You 'Hock' or 'Hawk' a Loogie?
A question for the agesWhat to Know
Both "hock a loogie" and "hawk a loogie" are acceptable for describing forcefully spitting out a mass of saliva and phlegm from the throat. Hock and hawk both refer to the action of spitting.
If you're in public, the answer should be: neither.
Some language quibbles are short-lived things; the notion, for instance, that only a house built of stone may properly be called dilapidated, on account of the word having stone roots (it comes in part from the Latin lapidare, "to pelt with stones") has been put to rest. Others, such as whether one should employ that or which to introduce a restrictive clause, have more staying power, and we expect to keep hearing about this for decades to come. We have received an uncountable number of letters (mainly because we haven’t ever bothered to count them) on a topic of similar grammatical weight to the that/which conundrum: is it more proper to hawk a loogie, or should one hock it?What is a 'Loogie'?
Before we get to the matter of whether one should hawk or hock, what exactly is a loogie? We are so very glad you asked. A loogie is a mass of saliva and phlegm, cleared from the throat and forcefully expectorated. The word is a phonesthemic coinage, with -oog- perhaps coming from bogey "piece of nasal mucus" or from booger, with the suffix -IE. The term for this salivary discharge has been in use since the mid-20th century, and although we give the spelling as loogie (plural form loogies) it must be noted that alternate forms are occasionally found.Now, rules are rules, and no one likes to see an umpire with a face full of loogey.
— Dan Bickley, The Indiana Gazette (Indiana, PA), 31 Aug. 1998'Hock' vs 'Hawk'
Turning now to the aforementioned query posed by the aforementioned uncountable letter-writers, we are glad to report that either hawking or hocking loogies is fine. The use of hawk that is relevant here (not the bird sense, or the one meaning to sell something) is of imitative origin, and means “to forcefully spit out (something, such as phlegm).” The relevant sense of hock (not the one meaning “to pawn something”) is simply a variant of hawk. Please observe that these senses are considered informal, and therefore you may wish to consider an alternative in business correspondence or similar writing.
Now that the usage questions are out of the way, we are free to remind you that regardless of whether you choose to hawk or hock your loogie, please do so in a sanitary fashion, and don’t just spit on a crowded street.The effect is as jarring as if the Pope hawked a loogie during mass.
— Barbara Brotman, Chicago Tribune, 1 Oct. 1995
Caan grimaces. “I can’t believe you guys. You hocked a loogie.”
— Patrick Goldstein, Los Angeles Times, 29 Apr. 1990
Figure 1. What students do to goof off … Hock a loogey.
— Robert B. Everhart, Adolescence (Rosalyn Heights, NY), Spring 1982
Some are hawking loogies, true, but you're only young once, right?

Should You 'Quit' or 'Resign'?
A word for when you're outta there
Is there a difference between whether one quits or resigns from a job? What about between retire and abdicate (or is it abnegate)? When leaving one’s place of employment, especially when the leaving is voluntary, it is important to choose the right word to describe this departure, and Merriam-Webster is here to help.
'Resign' is often used in more formal settings, or in phrases like "resigned in disgrace" or "resigned in protest."
Both quit and resign are relatively old words, having been in English use as verbs since the 13th and 14th centuries, respectively. They did not start out as synonymous as they are today; the initial meaning of quit was “to pay up” (as a debt), a sense which is now little encountered.
The initial meaning of resign (“give over or desist from”) was also notably different from how it is commonly used today. Both words enjoy a variety of possible meanings, and the sense of resign meaning “to give up one's office or position” has been used since the late 14th century. The common pairing of resign with from appears to be largely American, and not in widespread use prior to the 18th century.If a man go to prison, and be able to say, I know I shall be bayled, I have one who will quit my debt, and enlarge me, such an one fears not the Prison.
— Ralph Brownrig, Twenty Five Sermons 1664
When used today to refer to the action of leaving employment or a position these words carry similar meanings. However, many people hold that it is well-nigh impossible for any two words to mean the exact same thing, since there are often semantic subtleties and differences in register that distinguish between words. For instance, it is not at all wrong to say that someone quit a job in disgrace, but it is far more common to use resign in this setting.Newes here be noon, but that Sir Thomas More hathe resigned the office of the Chaunceler, and the parlament is proroged untill the 5th day of Novembre.
— Edwarde Foxe, Letter to Thomas Benet, 16 May 1532
Resign is also encountered more often in formal settings; our Unabridged gives the definition of “to give up, relinquish, or forswear one's office, rank, membership, post, or charge especially formally and definitely — often used with from” as one of the verb’s intransitive senses. You may quit a job, position, or membership in protest, but, as with disgrace, this particular word is more likely to be paired with resign. Again, there is not a great difference between the two not-gonna-bother-with-this-mess-anymore senses of these words, but if it makes you feel better you may think of resigning as quitting when it puts on a bowtie; tidied up and starched, and occasionally a little more formal than it needs to be.
What of retire and abdicate? These words are less likely to be confused with quit and resign, although there is the potential for semantic overlap. Retire may mean “retreat” or “recede,” but the sense with which we are concerned is defined as “to withdraw from one's position or occupation; conclude one's working or professional career.” Abdicate, on the other hand, is defined as “to renounce a throne, high office, dignity, or function.” It would be awkward to say that a royal figure retired from their throne, much as it would sound odd to tell people that you have abdicated your position at the job you just left. And while both abdicate and abnegate may be used in reference to relinquishing something, the former is used primarily with responsibilities, offices of power, and positions; the latter tends to be used in reference to relinquishing such things as rights, beliefs, and ideas.
Whether you choose to do any of these things while causing a scene is entirely up to you

INSULTS : How dare you call me that .Cockalorum
Definition - a boastful and self-important person; a strutting little fellow
Once upon a time book titles were a touch more ... adventurous than they are today. Take, for example, the slim volume of songs and anecdotes the British publisher J. Fairburn foisted on an unsuspecting public at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries: The Cockolorum songster, and convivial companion, for 1800: Being a collection of monstrous good, monstrous droll, and monstrous bad, songs, introduced by some eccentric anecdotes of my cousin, the noble grand ***. Also a few cockolorum sentiments. Yes siree, they don't title 'em like they used to...
In addition to describing a boastful person, cockalorum can be used in referring to the boastful talk (and also for the game of leapfrog. If cockalorum suggests a crowing ***, that's because the word probably comes from kockeloeren - an obsolete Dutch dialect verb meaning "to crow.”Naturally, she was jealous when her mother, after glimpsing Shaw, said, “he was a well-scrubbed old cockalorum, with frightful teeth.”

'Buck Naked' or 'Butt Naked'?
It's a natural question
From time to time our dictionary must put aside childish things, leaving off the crowd-pleasing aspects of lexicography (such as establishing the precise moment at which the past participle form of a verb completes its functional shift and may properly be described as an adjective), in order to focus on the unglamorous, but necessary, aspects of word-wrangling.What to Know
While both buck naked and butt naked are used to describe someone who is fully nude, buck naked is the older of the pair. Butt naked is much newer and likely sees use because of butt having a long history of referring to a person's buttocks.
So. When describing a person in a state of utter undress, should one use buck naked or butt naked?
SFW: Suitable For Woods
Origin of 'Buck Naked' vs. 'Butt Naked'
Look into the origin of which word to put before naked and you will find more schools of thought than you would at a joint conference of Digital Humanities and American Studies. Well, not really, but there are several theories. Some think that the original was butt, based on that word having been used to refer to a person’s buttocks since the 17th century, and that buck was a euphemism. Others feel that the buck referred to buckskin (the skin of a male deer, an animal often found in a nude state), or that it came from the word’s sense meaning “a male American Indian or African-American” (this sense of buck is considered offensive).
We define both buck naked and butt naked as “completely naked,” and give each as a synonym of the other in the definition. Butt naked is considerably newer, however; our earliest evidence of it is from the late 1960s, and the word did not gain much currency until the 1970s.
Our earliest recorded use of buck naked comes some four decades before that of butt naked. None of the citations we have from the teens or twenties appear to support the etymological theories above.If George T. Smith jumped out of a helicopter over Five Points, butt naked, you might get a little story on page 9.
— Hal Gulliver, The Atlanta Constitution, 3 Aug. 1970
Geechees are not that part of the civilian population who admire the emperor’s blue serge suit when in fact the emperor is butt-naked.
— Verta Mae Grosvenor, Redbook (New York, NY), Apr. 1973
When the Southern born mother was telling a neighbor about the incident a friend of Willie overheard the conversation which went something like this: “Girl, dat Willie is somethin’ else runnin; around the yawd butt-naked with that little gal up da street.”
— Ron Suber, Pittsburgh Courier, 24 Apr. 1976”Well,” said the other, “it’s dis away. ‘Tother day I’m visitin’ in a house an I goes to the bath room an’ opens de door—taint locked—and dere in de tub sits a woman, buck naked.”
— Arizona Champion (Flagstaff, AZ), 19 Dec. 1919
Minnie Smith heard the commotion in the house and ran out of her room, and according to offices, buck naked.
— The Dothan Eagle (Dothan, AL), 9 Jan. 1922
I never knew a dog could shed as much hair as that dog shedded on my suit and not be left buck naked, but after that canine got up, he still seemed to have nearly as much hair on him as I had on my suit.
— The Index-Journal (Greenwood, SC), 12 Apr. 1928Which is Right?
Both buck naked and butt naked are of an informal variety of English; you are unlikely to have cause to use either in writing for school, or most types of work. Buck is the older of the twain, but, given the linguistic register in which such words are typically found you should really just choose the one that brings you the most joy.Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Did You Know?
When you remember something, you are mindful of it. It's appropriate, therefore, that commemorate and other related memory-associated words (including memorable, memorial, remember, and memory itself) come from the Latin root memor, meaning "mindful." English speakers have been marking the memory of important events with commemorate since the late 16th century.
