Reminds me of that story about the teacher or lecturer or whatever who told their class "hey, the ceiling has 'gullible' written on it" and anyone who looked up discovered that yep, the word "gullible" really had been written on a piece of card and taped to the ceiling. And after letting that sink in for a while the teacher said something like "those of you who looked up have just demonstrated one of the most important tenets of research: check the source."

every time a website describes "appetite suppressant" as a feature of a type of food, i kill another hostage

[xenosaurus]

"nuts are an appetite suppressant!" BECAUSE THEY ARE FOOD. YOU ARE LESS HUNGRY BECAUSE YOU ATE FOOD.

[xenosaurus]

the diet industry is so unbelievably fucked and it’s in your fucking walls. “keeps you full longer so you don’t get hungry an hour after lunch when you’re trying to do something” is a neutral statement of benefit but no we have to treat pistachios like crucial medicine in the war against basic bodily functions.

eating disorder recovery is just getting angry over and over again because food is treated like some horrible necessary evil instead of one of the great joys of life. eat some nuts because they taste good and you are a living thing that thrives on pleasure and calories. you need both.

I need to get some sleep but in case you need to hear it: you deserve to eat. your appetite is not the enemy. if you can, treat yourself to a filling meal of foods you love today. throw pistachio shells at people. be free.

[xenosaurus]

DISCLAIMER: if you or your selected victim have a nut allergy, consider throwing rocks instead. I love you.

[grindthebones]

Guilt-free is the most evil thing I have ever seen printed on a food label.

[xenosaurus]

oh god yeah I HATE that. that should refer to things like fair trade chocolate, not “low fat”

Wut-In-Tarnation is really What-In-The-Entire-Nation with southern accent

[aphony-cree]

It’s time for the fascinating history of the word tarnation, which has nothing to do with the word nation

In 18th century America there was a trend of finding nicer ways to say curse words so they could shout exclamations without committing blasphemy. “Heck” and “gosh” originated at this time. “What in Sam Hill” was just a censored way of saying “What the hell?”

Damn and damnation became darn and darnation

At the time the word eternal was mostly associated with God and heaven, so the slang term “tarnal” was created to speak about eternity without invoking God

The new soft-curse word darnation sounded a bit like the slang word tarnal so people mashed them into tarnation (source)

“What in tarnation” means “What in eternal damnation” which also means “What the hell” which also means “What in Sam Hill” thanks to a bunch of Americans in the 1700s wanting to say bad words without incurring the Lord’s wrath 

[antigoneprogone]

Here’s some other fun examples of minced oaths (x)!

“Crikey”, made popular by Steve Irwin, is short for “Christ kill me”.

“Gadzooks” came from “God’s hooks”, referring to the nails used to crucify Jesus.

It’s very antiquated but you used to see “’snails” as a minced oath, also meaning “God’s nails” - not the mollusk.

Similarly, “ods bodkins” came from “God’s bodkins”, a bodkin being a type of arrowhead - possibly a reference to the spear used to pierce Christ’s side.

“Zounds” came from “God’s wounds”, relating to His stigmata and the aforementioned wound in the side.

“Cor blimey” is a mangled pronounciation of “God blind me”.

“Gadsbud” is “God’s body” or “God’s blood”, depending on who you ask.

Another antiquated one, “byrlady” is a contraction of “by Our Lady”, referring to the Mother Mary.

And then, of course, there’s the wealth of minced oaths created to avoid saying “Jesus Christ”, including (but not limited to):

Cheese and rice

Gee whiz

Judas Priest

Jesum Crow

Jiminy Cricket (that’s my mom’s favorite)

Jebusites (that’s not on the list above, that’s just the one I use)

And finally, Jeepers Creepers
