okay but. santos inadvertently picking abby up on the rebound. no one ever told her langdon's wife's name because why would they and he's been gone for months when she hits it off with this woman at a bar. and they're vibing and they go back to the woman's place to hook up and suddenly santos stumbles across a picture of FRANK LANGDON AND HIS CHILDREN
and abby is like oh sorry i know it looks bad but we're separated i promise but santos is just like I Have To Leave Right Now Immediately
ok i unintentionally lied!!! it threw bricks at my head until i wrote it please enjoy it is silly and barely edited and written in a three hour state of chaos: https://archiveofourown.org/works/66206935

Fandom: The Pitt (TV)
Relationships: Trinity Santos/Abby Langdon
Words: 1â916
Summary:
Itâs not Trinityâs fault no one ever told her Langdonâs wifeâs name, or anything else about her. Itâs not like she picked Abby up in a bar on purpose.

Today we were talking about how words can mean different things to different communities, and that people outside the community wouldn't understand. Like how a non-poker player wouldn't understand poker jargon the way other poker players would. Anyway, then my professor said he was gonna show us his "favourite example" and wrote a single word on the board that gave me instant psychic damage: beta.
Apparently sport climbers use this word with a meaning of "technique, method." But for a horrifying, horrifying second there was the possibility in my mind that we were gonna talk about ABO in my fucking linguistics class
Professor Betas Georg, who writes 50k omegaverse fics during office hours, boldy wrote "beta" on the board while observing which of his students went dead. still.

things english speakers know, but donât know we know.
WOAH WHAT?
That is profound. I noticed this by accident when asked about adjectives by a Japanese student. She translated something from Japanese like âBrown big catâ and I corrected her. When she asked me why, I bluescreened.
What the fuck, English isnât even my first language and yet I picked up on that. How the fuck. What the fuck.
Reasoning: It Just Sounds Right
Oooh, donât like that. Nope, I do not even like that a little bit. Thatâs parting the veil and looking at some forbidden fucking knowledge there.
How did I even learn this language wtf
I had to read âbrown big catâ like three times before my brain stopped interpreting it as âbig brown catâ
Iâm kinda reading âbrown big catâ as âbrown (big cat)â, that is, a âbig catâ - like a tiger or lion or other felid of similar size - that happens to be brown. âBig brown catâ, on the other hand, sounds more like a brown cat thatâs just a bit bigger than a regular housecat - like a bobcat or a maine coon cat or something like that.
yeah, a brown big cat is almost certainly a puma. a big brown cat is probably a maine coon.
yeah, if you put the adjectives out of order you wind up implying a compound noun, which is presumably why we have this rule; we stripped out so much inflection over the centuries word order now dictates a huge amount of our grammar
Just looked up why we do this and one of the first lines in this article is, âAdjectives are where the elves of language both cheat and illumine reality.â so I know itâs a good article.
Things this article has taught me:
This same order of adjectives more or less applies to languages around the world. âItâs possible that these elements of universal grammar clarify our thought in some way,â says Barbara Partee, a professor emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Yet when the human race tacitly decided that shape words go before color words go before origin words, it left no record of its rationale.
One theory is that the more specific term always falls closer to the noun. But that doesnât explain everything in adjective order.
Another theory is that as you get closer to the noun, you encounter adjectives that denote more innate properties. In general, nouns pick out the type of thing weâre talking about, and adjectives describe it,â Partee told me. She observes that the modifiers most likely to sit right next to nouns are the ones most inclined to serve as nouns in different contexts: Rubber duck. Stone wall.
Rules are made to be broken. Switching up the order of adjectives allows you to redistribute emphasis. (If you wish to buy the black small purse, not the gray one, for instance, you can communicate your priorities by placing color before size). Scrambling the order of adjectives also helps authors achieve a sense of spontaneity, of improvising as they go. Wolfe discovers such a rhythm, a feeling-his-way quality, when he discusses his childhood recollection of âbrown tired autumn earthâ and a âflat moist plug of apple tobacco.â
Brain scans have discovered that your brain has to work harder to read adjectives in the âwrongâ order.
TL;DR: No one knows why we do this adjective thing but itâs pretty hardwired in.
@deadcatwithaflamethrower Linguistics tidbit.
Since itâs never credited, this is from Mark Forsythâs The Elements of Eloquence, and just one reason why I think itâs required reading for anyone interested in prosecraft. Every page is this useful.

Is what my wife said apropo of nothing as we were silently drifting off to sleep
Uh oh
Is what she said when I immediately reached for my phone and opened Tumblr instead of responding
@everything-you-feel-is-real I know by tumblr tradition that I'm to say "impossible, my posts never blow up like that," or "please don't do this to me."
But I feel in my bones that you are right. If this is to be my wife's moment of glory, I am willing to suffer notification overload, that the world may know she is funny. #MyFunnyWife
