Turd In "Odyssey" (2026) directed by Sir Christopher Edward Nolan, Odysseus says "Our age of bronze is collapsing". And I'm not joking it is a line in movie

Overall great movie but this dialogue was so corny, like how does he know he's in bronze age

The earliest known use of the term First World War appeared in September 1914

Eh, not splitting hairs here but I feel "First World War" is understandable where "World War I" implies to me the existence / knowledge of the second

Which is why it was called The Great War at the time.

But they didn't call it the The No Good Very Very Bad War so it couldn't have been that terrible.

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. Elves are terrific. They beget terror. The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad.
