Phonetic Map of the Mouth.
I remember doing this as a theatre exercise. Make all those sounds, in order, so you can feel it moving further back into your mouth. Then, reverse it.
Oh, *excellent.*
I wish I’d known this in undergrad.
Sending this to my coworkers on Monday.
Also helpful for that fic you read on that one site that time.
stop believing that you ran out of time to shape yourself into who you want to be! stop believing that its ruined! stop believing you don’t have potential! you are not a fixed being! you have endless opportunities to grow.

“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma
and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND
I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody:
zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/
noun
a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).
ISN’T THAT AWESOME??
#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one
She dropped her dress and inhibitions at the door.
What’s this? My favorite rhetorical device showing up on my dashboard?
IT HAS A NAMEEEE!! OH MY GOD!!!
So this is what I’ve been looking for! I knew there was something I could have included to improve my writing. So happy I found this post!
Some of these could be considered paraprosdokians! (One of my favorite things!)
A paraprosdokian (/pærəprɒsˈdoʊkiən/) is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence, phrase, or larger discourse is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists. Some paraprosdokians not only change the meaning of an early phrase, but they also play on the double meaning of a particular word, creating a form of syllepsis.

how did they learn to translate languages into other languages how did they know which words meant what HOW DID TH
English Person: *Points at an apple* Apple
French Person: Non c’est une fucking pomme
*800 years of war*
Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.”
“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.
Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”

I love entomology so much because so many words kind of happened by accident or by a native speaker trying to say “WTF are you saying?“
ITS BACK AND BIGGER THAN EVER!
The first step is acceptance, and this is me saying that i have a problem. All I’ve done ever since school ended is sleep and watch netflix, which is definitely not what i had planned for this summer. So in order to break out of this cycle of laziness I have decided to participate in the 100 days of productivity challenge. Today is day 1, wish me luck!
[1/100 days of productivity]

Hi! just wanna say that your blog is really helpful and appreciated!
Thank you so much friend!! this really means a lot (:
korean sentence of the day #17 - 비가 오니까, 집에 가세요.
Note: when you see an ending like the “so” ending ~(으)니까 (there are weird parentheses in it), the thing in the parentheses (으) is dropped if the thing preceding it ends in a vowel.
bonus sentences from my textbook:
- 날씨가 더우니까, 주스를 마십시다 = it’s hot so lets have some juice - 시간이 없으니까, 택시를 탈까요? = since we don’t have time, shall we take a taxi? / we don’t have time, so shall we take a taxi? - 그 영화가 재미있으니까, 보세요. = the movie was fun so (you should) watch it. (note that this sentence is in the past tense so it goes verb stem 재미 + past tense 있 + ‘so’ ending ~(으)니까 )
