Why the sad emoji? My school was a blast. Loved it.

Because of Latin. I had Latin as well, but only from class 11 to 13. So there was a lot to catch up on, and it wasn´t fun.

Except you didn't. You just said 'school'.

its like being at school on this thread

In any case, I was merely thinking back to my own school experiences. I wasn't thinking about anyone else's.

Happy days? Well, not so much. I did like my school ... reasons ... but they sure as hell were not the best days of my life. Hah!

I am more familiar with AE, because of my time abroad.

I spent yeeeeeeaaaaars studying British English, but during the one year and couple of month in the US, I learned a lot of casual/everyday words.

Ain´t no candy floss or courgettes in Shakespeare and John Donne

Tacitus. Catullus. Pliny. I liked the first two years. The next two, not so much. Our Latin teacher talked to her own kids in Latin.

Afaik, it's a really recent addition to English. And didn't it come from the French? I seem to remember seeing something about that. Oh, I can't be arsed to look it up!

räven = Fuchs? wow

Yes. That’s a thing in particular Swedish circles, to end random sentences with “sa räven” (the fox said).
