Thereâs a theory that early Europeans started saying âbrown oneâ or âhoney-eaterâ instead of âbearâ to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa âthe faceless womanâ because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber
English has an avoidance register used in the presence of certain respected animals, which sounds fancy until you realize itâs spelling out w-a-l-k and t-r-e-a-t in front of the dog.
Iceland does! They are the illhveli, literally âevil whalesâ, and they live to kill you. They love nothing more than killing and eating humans and sinking their ships. Their greatest enemy is the steypireydur (thatâs blue whale to you), which is the greatest of the good whales and the protector of sailors.
All evil whales are, well, evil. So evil that if you speak their name at sea, they will hear it and home in on you. So instead you use all sorts of euphemisms for their names. Also if you try to cook their meat it literally disappears from the pot. Thatâs right, theyâre so evil, you canât even eat them.
They include such types as the hrosshvalur (horsewhale), with big eyes and a red mane and tail. This is probably the best known and most feared of the lot.
The raudkembingur (redcomb) is especially cruel and bloodthirsty even by illhveli standards. If you manage to escape it, it will die of frustration.
Good luck escaping the mushveli (mousewhale) though, it has legs! And will clamber onto the beach in pursuit!
Or what about death from above? The stökkull (jumper) leaps high into the air and pile-drives boats to pieces.
Meanwhile the skeljungur (shellwhale) sits in the path of boats and lets them get wrecked on its shelly hideâŠ
⊠while the sverdhvalur (swordwhale) slices through boats with its dorsal fin.
The katthveli (catwhale) is relatively harmless though. It meows.
The same canât be said of the lyngbakur (heatherback), a classic island fish that lets sailors get on its back and then dives, taking them to a watery grave.
The nauthveli (oxwhale) on the other hand specially targets cattle, attracting them into the sea with its bellow before tearing them apart.
How can you avoid all these murderous whales, like the taumafiskur (bridlefish) here? Any of a number of ways, including getting a steypireydur to help. There are substances, ranging from angelica to sheep dung and chopped fox testicles, that they find abhorrent. And you can distract them with loud noises and barrels.
For more, I assure you this link will answer all your questions.
This is also why fairies were referred to as the âGood Neighborsâ and why there are so many nicknames for Satan.
The concept of avoidance speech is endlessly fascinating and rife with plot points for writing, but honestly Iâm just thrilled about the EVIL WHALES.
I... Don't like that the CDC is lifting the mask mandate for people that have been fully vaccinated in most outdoor and indoor spaces...
I know the incentive they are pushing is getting fully vaccinated = no more mask...
But that is not the right narrative to push because anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers could, I don't know, lie about their vaccination status?? I wish they would use common sense because let's face it, there aren't going to be employees checking people who aren't wearing masks' vaccination cards.
I'm fully vaccinated and I'm still planning to wear my mask indoors for the foreseeable future. I have been wearing it less outdoors if there aren't many people around and everyone is moving away from each other (ie on the nature trail), but I've still been staying as far away as possible from others.
Anyways, I just feel like this is a little too soon. My state is nearly to 50% of the adult population being fully vaccinated. I wish they would have at least waited until more people were.
it's a trap. if someone in the states on unemployment puts in an application and doesn't come to the interview, or if they come to the interview but refuse the job offer, that gets reported to unemployment and that person can lose their unemployment benefits. then, with no income, they are suddenly desperate for wendy's job offer. it's sick.
Theyâre also filtering for people poor and desperate enough that a free breakfast sandwich is a big deal. Ie, people desperate enough to easily exploit.
hey fully vaxxed (american) people ur still gonna like. wear a mask right. on account of thereâs no visual indicator that ur vaccinated. and on account of u wanna give service workers and nonvaxxed people peace of mind when ur interacting with them. and on account of vaccines arenât 100 percent effective. and on account of so many antimaskers and antivaxxers are gonna lie and say theyâre vaccinated so they can not wear one and then ur at an even higher risk. yknow. on account of vaccines arenât 100 percent effective.
