Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Iâm gonna add
ROGUE: CRIMINAL/REBEL/VAGRANT/ETC
ROUGE: RED MAKEUP
itâs rogues gallery, guys. Not rouge gallery. Youâre making me think batman has an extensive lipstick collection.
If youâre talking about a weapons CACHE, itâs pronounced cash.
If you say cashay, thatâs how CACHET is pronounced which means prestige and does not mean a collection of items stored together in a hidden/inaccessible place.

If itâs holding back someone from (or getting someone to stop doing) something, thatâs to REIN [them] IN (âŚas if you were using REINS on a horse)
(and oh yeah)
If youâre telling someone theyâre going to have to reconsider an opinion or course of action, then they have ANOTHER THINK COMING
(because âanother thing comingâ makes no damn sense whatsoever unless theyâre in some kind of monster movie, ffs)
