Holidays Calendar explains #WhippedCream Day in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
Whipped Cream is Cream (Milk-Fat) which has been Stirred to a Near-Liquid Consistency---stirring that really was originally done by #Whipping it (with Rush- or Willow-Branches). 
The word “Whipping (or #Whip #Whips #Whipped #Whipper #WhippingBoy #Whippings #WhipSaw #Whiplash #WhipperSnapper #WhipSnake #ParliamentaryWhip #BullWhip #HorseWhip #WhippingBlock #WhippingPost)” is built on ancient words that mean "to Turn, |Vacillate, |Tremble" (though doubtless it might also be that 'that's the word because that's the sound made when something "whips" through the air or -the substance being "whipped"').

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Capricorn ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Marilyn Manson, Bradley Cooper, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, George Reeves, Walter Mondale, Umberto Eco (writer of The Name of the Rose), Zebulon Pike (known for attempting to climb Pike's Peak), Joe Flanigan (known for a part on STARGATE: ATLANTIS)

... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

I haven't gotten my Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating and -which color Vestments the clergy are wearing); so I look at my KCM 2022 Calendar, which tells us that today's the day to read Genesis 8:6-10:19 & Matthew 3 (if we're sticking to the plan to read the whole Bible in a Year)
