Jade is a common-enough name for fictional characters with some kind of Oriental connection.BuildsLegos wrote:So would that make Jackie Chan Adventures misogynistic? But Jade was my favorite character.Jochi wrote:"a disreputable or ill-tempered woman." Carried in most dictionaries as Jade 2, since it has a different origin than Jade 1, the stone and shade of green.
Definition 2, the first being "a worn-out, broken-down, worthless, or vicious horse".
It is this word that is being referred to when someone says they are "jaded", not the supposed medical benefits of the stone in treating colic.
I should know.
(And I'd have mentioned Race Bannon's love interest, but I'm old.)OTOH, the thoughts of another of my facets, the pirate, immediately go to verse 5 of "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest".
I was just saying I hoped Kin made the correct connection.
