Got Medieval: Medieval Parking Fines
(Link courtesy Early Modern Notes)
Lots of fun and a good argument to boot. I too have wondered how "medieval" came to mean backwards and a bad thing. Using the word in that manner shows a complete lack of historical perspective, something I can rant on about for hours, if given the chance *g*.
How about you? What is one of your chief pet peeves?
