#D181 (discriminate to discuss)

from The Dictionary

I read from discriminate to discuss.     I don't understand the discriminator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discriminator     The weight of the discus depends on the age and sex/gender (that's a whole other conversation) but they range from 0.75 to 2 kg (1.65 to 4.41 pounds). The longest throw is by a woman, Martina Hellmann, in 1988 who unofficially threw it 78.14 meters (over 256 feet) but because she was a woman she was using a lighter discus; 1 kg opposed to 2 kg. That's a huge difference in weight.  The longest throw for a man is 74.08 meters (over 243 feet) by Jürgen Schult in 1986.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discus_throw     Please check out the various discussion topics Linda Richman would suggest in Saturday Night Live's "Coffee Talk" starring Mike Myers.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_Talk_(Saturday_Night_Live)     The word of the episode is "discrimination". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination     Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/     Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar     "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube     Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/     Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq     [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
