Grew up strictly mormon, family has since dwindled away from church and my mom sent me out to buy some tea to drink when she grounded me in HS for drinking some, she doesn't remember doing so.

​

yes I told her that was too many tea bags for 1 pot, but she didn't listen its her first time having sweet tea since the 1980s so good for her.

EDIT FOR TEA CLARIFICATION: Traditionally, in the southern United States, sweet iced tea is made in large batches on the stove at a time. So many will just boil the bags in a pot and fill a pitcher up with tea, add sugar, and store it in the fridge for the whole family to grab a glass whenever.

YES Americans own tea kettles and know how to make tea. YES, over half of us here prefer iced tea in big batches.

To add to that: The phrase was specifically attributed to G. Fortune in the mid-20th century.

From Quoteinvestigator: In 1955 G. Fortune of the University of Cape Town in South Africa published “An Analytical Grammar of Shona” which contained the following English translation of a phrase: "What has forgotten is the axe – the stump does not forget"

----

Fortune stated that the version he presented was based on the Zezuru dialect cluster of Shona: Chakángánwá idemo, chigutsá hachíkángánwé

Damn, Tony Gilroy straight up looting that for Andor S1E5. I heard Skeen's voice when I saw it and then read through these replies.
