minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoNot much of a murder. A janitor might have the responsibility for keeping the towels stocked and not have the actual title 'Towel Czar." Also, it’s funny how when people are referring to Russian nobility it’s ‘tsar’ and when it’s a bossy-boss it’s ‘czar.’
minus-squareZorque@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoYes, and when they’re German, it’s Kaiser, or Roman it’s Ceasar. Weird, right?
minus-squareSanguinePar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoI can’t believe I never realised the connection between Tsar/Czar and words like Caesar and Kaiser.
