Popular slang terms from the Roaring Twenties

Words come in and out of fashion, and the slang we use today will probably be on the verge of extinction 100 years from now. The same can be said about slang terms used in the 1920s. An era best known for its bustling nightlife scene and significant contributions to the arts and culture, the Roaring Twenties signaled a dazzling post-war period. And the common slang terms then were completely different from what we hear today, and often pretty funny! From "handcuff" to "zozzled," click on for 1920's slang terms that will liven up your conversations in the 2020s.

Why some couples can heal after infidelity, but others can't

We would all like to imagine that if we were cheated on, we would simply pack our bags, burn that bridge, and never look back. But it's hardly ever that simple, and that can actually be a good thing. Infidelity is one of the hardest things a couple can experience, and indeed it is a leading cause of breakups. But what is less talked about is how many couples actually work through the trauma, heal the wound, and come out stronger. Of course, every situation has to be evaluated uniquely, but cheating isn't nearly as black and white as we would like to think. And there are some major figures who have stayed with their cheating partner, so there must be some merit to it. But if there's one thing experts agree on when it comes to dealing with infidelity, it's that it is hard work, and some couples can't do or aren't aware of the necessary steps recommended by licensed professionals in order to properly restore a healthy relationship. Intrigued? Click through to see the keys to recovering after cheating or being cheated on.

Looks of love on Harry and Meghan's wedding anniversary

In the run-up to their sixth wedding anniversary, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on an unofficial tour of Nigeria. Their schedule included events and activities related to their Archwell Foundation and the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event organized by the prince, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary. The couple appeared joyful as they engaged with people across the country, but social media users suggested they looked uncomfortable when 'God Save the King,' was played during a ceremony, likely because Nigeria is a former British colony and the Sussexes have separated themselves from the royal family. Regardless, they seemed very at ease during their visit overall, and were photographed holding hands and kissing. Ever since they made their first official appearance together, Harry and Meghan have completely ignored the royal rules against public displays of affection (PDA). But it's not just the hand-holding and body language that made them the cutest royal couple around–it's those loving gazes that the cameras always catch! As they celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary, check out their best pictures together. From smitten faces to huge events, click on!

These are the most common ways to find a partner

“How did you meet?” The familiar question has historically been answered with romantic or quirky tales of mutual friends and chance encounters, all of which compel a chorus of oohs and aws. But, in recent times, those tales have taken a drastic turn—whether for better or worse remains unclear. For a very long time, likely since the very beginning of time, close friends and family have been the most prominent way to establish new connections with other people. From the end of World War II until 2013, most heterosexual Americans were still meeting their romantic partners through friends, family, school, work, and so forth. It seems, however, that those networks are becoming increasingly more irrelevant. According to a dataset analysis, the internet may have largely replaced friends and family as a way for couples to meet. Online dating is revolutionizing romance. We’ve looked extensively at how technology has changed the way we interact with others, but not as much at how it changes who we interact with. Particularly in the realm of romantic relationships, there’s a notable shift happening that affects many parts of dating. Check out this gallery to see how couples are meeting, and why meeting on the internet is so appealing.

Is dark chocolate really better for us?

When it comes to sourcing a tasty and energizing snack, little can compare with chocolate. The problem is, of course, that too much chocolate is bad for us. After all, few people reach adulthood without learning it should be consumed in moderation...

Living abroad is very romanticized, but it can be a really tough task to settle into a new place, find friends, learn a language, start a new job, as well as everything else.

The story of the feral child has been around for just about as long as we can remember. From Ancient Roman myths to fictional characters such as Mowgli, the narrative of the wild child has been present in many cultures.

This happened for various reasons; from being locked in a room to living in the wilderness for several years.

These Insanely Helpful Garden Plants Keep the Mosquitoes Away

Say goodbye to the outdoor pests. Bugs come with the territory when you’re outdoors, but some are more tolerable than others. If it feels like mosquitoes are invading your yard, it’s understandable to want to do what you can to get rid of them. Enter mosquito repellent plants. Here’s the thing: Experts say that the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to use personal repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But if you want to go a more natural route, you may be interested in selecting certain plants—they’re just not necessarily guaranteed to work as well as a spray. “The idea that planting certain plants around your home will successfully repel mosquitoes is only supported by anecdotal evidence and not empirical evidence,” says Eva Buckner, Ph.D., assistant professor and state extension specialist at the University of Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory. It’s important to note, though, that there is some evidence that certain plants may help discourage certain mosquitoes from setting up camp in your yard—they just don’t work as well as a chemical or spray. If it feels like your outdoor space is a haven to mosquitoes, it’s a good idea to “eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on and around your property by draining standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, grill covers, baby pools, and other sources,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., board-certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Using a small fan outside may also help keep mosquitoes away since “they are not strong flyers,” Fredericks says. But if you like the look and smell of certain plants and want to see if they keep the mosquitoes away, too, there’s no reason not to try them. These are the plants fans swear are most likely to help get rid of mosquitoes. Snap up one or a few to enhance your outdoor space.

Signs you had an emotionally abusive parent

The perspective of a child is colored by unconditional love and naïve acceptance of whatever their "normal" is. This can make it difficult to recognize emotional abuse until later in life. We're so impressionable as children that our parents' natural human flaws will inevitably impact us all in some way. Emotional abuse is different in its ability to leave us with long-term scars and trouble with relationships in adulthood. Let's take a look at some of the trademark behaviors of an emotionally abusive parent and how it affects the child as they mature. Click through the gallery to get started.
