What is a woman?
According to the old Latin (or maybe it's Greek, I don't recall for sure) but the (and I'll just call it) Latin for "Woman" is a conjunction of two words which literally means "Man with a Womb", hence the translation "Woman". A man does not have a womb, so he can not have a baby. I don't care how that individual chooses to self-identify, whether a person prefers the pronouns "He - Him" or "She - Her". If the biological physical body does NOT have a womb then that person, even if they identify as an alien from outer space, can not have a baby.

What is a woman? A man with a womb. Based off Latin (or Greek).

Doing some laundry. Noticed that the detergent claims to remove both "Visible dirt AND INVISIBLE dirt." OK, I get it, I can tell if the "Visible" dirt is gone. But how do I really know if the "Invisible" dirt is gone? Maybe it's still there. I just can't see it. It's "Invisible"!

Sorry, but no. Woman is from Old English, not Latin or Greek, and is a combination of wif (wife) and man (person)

Etymology of woman

I've been lied to. A preacher told me (his congregation) that Woman comes from some language that literally meant "Man with a Womb". Now that I've had chance to look it up for myself (never believe everything a preacher tells you) I see that the information I had was incorrect. Wrong. My wife would love to hear me admit to being wrong; but when I'm wrong - I'm not right. OK, I set you up with that one.

“I’d rather live with the sinners,
than die with the saints.
The sinners have much more fun,
and only the good die young.”

Billy Joel
Isn't it "I'd rather LAUGH with the sinners than CRY with the saints"?

Looked it up:
[Pre-Chorus]
"They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better, but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun"

I'm sure id be so busy shaking hands and telling dirty jokes with all of my friends that I wouldn't even realize I was in hell. If I go to heaven, I'd be spending eternity thinking about my poor friends and trying to decide if they are floating around on their own cloud with their own harp or if they are in hell.

I hear there's tons of ducks everywhere in heaven.

Apparently the rule is that (for a woman [and let's not go there]) if she steps on a duck Saint Peter will chain her to an ugly man for the rest of eternity. Well, it just so happened one day three women arrived at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter invited them in. Looking around at all the ducks one woman says "What's up with all the ducks?" So Saint Peter explains: "If you step on a duck you'll be chained to an ugly man for the rest of eternity."

The three women look at each other and then after a moment's hesitation they proceed into heaven. A few hours later the one woman stepped on a duck. There came Saint Peter with a chain and an ugly man and proceeded to chain them together. The other two women look at each other and decide they're never going to step on a duck.

Three months later a second woman steps on a duck. Sure enough, here comes Saint Peter, chain and ugly man. You know what happened next. Yup! They were chained together for the rest of eternity. The third woman vows to herself she's NEVER going to step on a duck!

Years went by and the woman one day had a thought. "I wonder what the reward is for NOT stepping on a duck." Moments later; here comes Saint Pete and a chain. But no ugly man. Pete takes her tenderly by the hand and leads her off to the most handsome man she had ever seen and proceeds to chain the two together. "Oh, what did I do to deserve this?" asks the woman, delighted beyond her wildest beliefs. "I don't know about you lady" the man says, "I stepped on a duck."

Once you hear it a certain way that's pretty much the way you remember it for life.

I remember "Gilligan's Island" theme song. I never understood these lyrics:
"If not for the coverage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost."

Then there was The Beverly Hillbilly's. After the show
"You're all invited back next week to this locality
To have a heaping their HUSKY TALLOW TEA"

I know what "Tallow" is - it's fat renderings they use to make candles. The thought of making a "Tea" out of it sounded unappealing. Like I said, we hear it a certain way and that becomes the way it always will be. Until someone points out our error. But even then that doesn't change things. "Coverage" & "Tallow Tea". Hmph!
