Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

[queenrinacat]

English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.

My expectations weren’t met, they were exceeded.

Playing in the Dark: Neil Gaiman and the BBC Symphony Orchestra

An evening of words and music with best-selling author Neil Gaiman.

12 November, I will read stories. The BBC Symphony Orchestras will play music. There will be special guests and surprises. Tickets are selling ridiculously fast.

[adventuresintheshadeoftea]

Please tell me this is also going to be recorded and put onto the radio.

I never thought I would be annoyed to have already booked a holiday. And the day before my 30th as well. Would have been the best birthday present to myself.

[neil-gaiman]

It will definitely be recorded and go out on the radio. BBC Radio Three, I believe.

Anita O'Day - Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby

[sun-dari]

As of late, I was thinking about how literary translation is absolutely fascinating. It has the opportunity to become a complete disaster at every other sentence but when it is done well it is absolute delight to read and to compare with the original. Like, have you ever thought about how hard it is to translate puns? It is practically a god tier of literary translation.

So, I’ve been thinking about this and I know what my most favorite instance of wonderfully translated pun is: it is the gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide one, from Good Omens.

I’ve read three different fan translations of Good Omens in Russian (when it was published officially I picked it up in a library specifically to look up how had they translated this phrase) and some of them were better and some of them were worse but all of them were centered on the fact that in russian language word blue can mean both color and ‘a gay man’. My favorite vertion of this phrase was something like bluer than the sky on a booklet advertising a tropical island vacation, and others were some kind of generic like a sky in the spring or something.

I’m not really sure where I was going with this except that I’m really curious now how it was translated into other languages. So pls, tell me?
