Yellow Answers: Revealed and Explained
All of These words perfectly describe how I tried to fill a suitcase when I came back from abroad, after spending two months there and spending money on tons of souvenirs for everyone I knew.
I packed my suitcase with all the light items and a few breakables, carefully flapped out of soft cotton t-shirts, while stuffing everything I could into the two backpacks I could carry on the plane. They were so full that it took me a long time to carefully get the computer out through airport security before I had to try to put it back in with the RAM.

Many of us have had a job like this at some point or may still have one, and I’m sure for some it’s a little exciting to remember. Whether you were COOKING food, driving people to places as a HOST, taking out food and drinks as a SERVER, or making sure everything was clean as a DISHWASHER, there were pros and cons to each.

THINGS WITH BITS |

BRIDLE |
BYTE |
COMIC |
DRILL |
I would argue that almost everything is made of “bits”, but these words are a bit more specific than that. BRIDLES and DRILLS have actual components that are actually called bits, BYTES are made of BITS, and COMMEDIANS have bits, but that still seems pretty vague. Anyway, it makes sense on some level, but I’d like a little more, huh?
