        The more you know. I always thought faucet was used colloquially like “another faucet of information.”

        I stand corrected.

          Well… Not to confuse the matter but a ‘faucet of information’ could technically be correct, if you’re referring to a source of information. A FACET is like another side of something. A different face, if you will

          Yeah its more like different facets of the same diamond, in my head at least

          I guess more appropriately would be the same gem cut in different facets

          Idk English is weird lol

          I never thought about that, but “faucet” in that context totally makes sense too! That’s delightful—my partner had a very similar thing where they thought “SMH” meant “so much hate”, or SMDH “so much damn hate”. In all contexts, it just kinda worked!
