My father was an academic and the thing academics do when they visit each other’s houses is to bring a bottle of something. So they had a cellar room full of booze. It was awesome when I was in high school in the mid-90s. My parents didn’t drink beer though, so there was no beer in the house except for a six-pack of Michelob at the back of the room that had pull tabs on it. They stopped making pull tabs in 1980. So it was at least 14-year-old beer. It was one of the few things I didn’t think about and/or decide to steal.
There was a show in the 80s called Captain Power and you would use the tie-in toys to shoot at the screen and if your character’s vehicle got shot in the show, the toy would eject them.
My parents wouldn’t get me the toys so I have no idea how well it worked.
The OED goes very in-depth into etymology in the way other English dictionaries do not. It’s the size of an encyclopedia. This is the print version of the second edition, which has been supplemented several times since:

Mostly just the sick ones and the babies. Lions generally don’t go after prey that large. They generally avoid giraffes too. They have to be pretty desperate to go after an elephant because they can’t kill it like most of their prey by either suffocation or breaking their neck.
