🤔

I heard a short interview with the opera houses intendant (if I recall correctly) and he was pretty ~~unphased~~ unfazed by this story. He said that it was not uncommon that a few of the 1400 guests of the opera house get nauseous during a show especially on hot days when air gets stale...

Sounded like he wasn't convinced the nausea during the Santa performance was because of the play itself.

*unfazed

"fazed" means "disconcerted or perturbed", just FYI, and I will take my downvotes now

Interesting, never knew.

Here's another one some people have never realized. Literally is not the same word as literately

How about littorally?
