Yes. Yes. Yes. Repetition.

Ah true, I kind of forget about those ones. I stepped on a brown snake while running (kept running), lay down in the shade right next to a death adder (started running), had a tiger snake come under my front door (started murdering).

My brother got bitten by a rough scale, probably would have died if he wasn't built like a particularly large brick shithouse after they gave him the wrong antivenom...

Scree slope leading to an extremely high over vertical dropoff at the top of a mountain. Slipped, started sliding and couldn't scrabble faster than the loose rocks flowed.

There was one single small scraggly shrublet. It had a single root that after previous rock slides had been exposed for a good foot.

I scrabbled sideways and managed to get one hand onto the root just as my feet were going off the edge. The root creaked and for an eternity I thought it would break. It did not.

I pulled my legs back up and managed to scrabble the fuck back up. Worst school excursion ever.

Can you tell the male wombat fuckers by the rectangular penis?

Well that's where it originated from. Scuppers on ships were the deck drains that let water that came over the railings drain back out.

A ship was deemed scuppered when it was so low in the water that water could now enter through the scuppers, which is a bit of a point of no return in sinking a ship. No bailing or pumping will help at that point.

Indistinguishable from the floor.

Once you get into audio, images and video it revolves a lot around converting temporal and/or positional data into the frequency domain rather than simple token replacement.

Tragedy of the commons.
