I watched The Love Boat on a cruise ship once, but I didnt find romance lol
It was mostly elderly people, still fun though. I witnessed older couples though who found one another at retirement villages. Helps if both of them are widows!
They didnt hang out in the lounge, more the dining room, and some went to casino cos they had lots of spare cash squirreled away now they could access their retirement funds, and thought it was fun to spend it all.

Yeah, I'm the same way. Google is pretty handy on getting random information in the quick.
So, I found out there is a Joel Osteen channel on Sirius. I know there are some Christians, that have their reservations on his teachings, but he cheers me up, and gives me encouragement. It's nice to have a positive influence in this world of negativity.
Here is a random story of a man, that has a Canadian Goose as a "best friend".

Chopped full? What is this? LOL. Whatever it is, @Eli1 needs to be notified.
I was thinking perhaps a thread on butchered sayings. Like chopped full instead of chock full.
I heard someone say in a show I was watching recently, "I did not want to gear you in the wrong direction." .
LOL. People are buying the ranch and kicking the pail, it is beyond the bucket .

It seems the origin of "chock-full" is not fully certain. Likely from cheek full, but there's other possibilities. There is a word called chock, which is a block wedge to hold something in place, but is not part of the word chock-full, which is its own compound word entirely.
I actually wasn't trying to say The Love Boat had a cheek full of mini moral lessons, but rather the mini lessons were chopped up into the show, as there were two- or three-character stories per episode, the weekly guest stars of that cruise. There's a sort of visual aspect to chopped full of mini moral lessons, as in two or three separate ones in each episode.
Are you buying any of this? lol Actually, I am serious, but in retrospect, I tried to remember why I wrote it that way. I was aware of the term chock-full but didn't use it.
It's fun to look at misheard words and phrases. Once you mishear them, they take a life of their own because you actually understand them with the actual word parts you think you hear. My favorite is it "piqued my interest" versus "peaked my interest".
Pique is a french word that actually means to annoy or sting. So, "pique my interest" is actually more of a phrase describing what/when something made you become very curious about something. Peak means the top or maximum, like the peak of a mountain. So, when a person is saying or writing that "a song peaked their interest in that band", they may literally mean peak, not pique. And they are likely only using that phrase because they heard "pique my interest" in the past.
"Gear you in the wrong direction" is probably very similar. You can gear someone with the incorrect "mental parts" to find their way.
