Myrrh. I used to hear it as a kid in church. Haven’t heard it in decades by now.

I’ve seen it on incense labels, but never spoken outside of a churchy setting.

There was a podcast episode years back about how large quicksand loomed in popular culture for a whole generation, before vanishing as a concept almost completely.

And sure enough, I remember as a kid in the 80s worrying about stumbling into quicksand while wandering around the bushes in rural Canada.

Then I forgot about it as a concept until I heard it on that one episode, and I haven’t heard it since.

Huh…I can’t find it on YouTube, but it rings a bell. Was it something like “quicksand played a much smaller role in my life than I expected”?

Found the podcast

As a Canadian you should be more concerned with muskeg.

As a kid in 90s Australia I was also led to believe that quicksand was more of a threat than it turned out to be, lol

I wish I could say the same. But my kids say it a lot…

“Antidisestablishmentarianism”

(To be fair, they like looking up words to see who can find the biggest ones.)

Do you mean how I pronounce or why I say it? If the latter, just because it sounds funny to me and it kind of became a running gag.
