A plant presrcibed by Hippocrates back in the day for jaundice, rheumatism, anemia, and menstrual pains. Has a bitter taste. Has been used for 3500 years to get rid of intestinal worms. It's realname is Absinthium which celebrates it's more known use in Absinthe. It's also known as vermouth.
Person: What makes that Absinthe taste so bad?
Bartender: The wormwood.
Person: Then why does Vermouth taste so good?
Bartender: Vermouth doesn't have wormwood in it, it's a German translation of wormwood.
I'm sure it'd be interesting to have a wormwood as a friend, but not as a teacher for you children, unless your child needs to be slapped upside the head every one in a while.
When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!
With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
