Fairly OddParents Truth Explained (WITH PROOF):

Timmy Turner lives in a house with 2 parents. His parents are “odd” but the Odd Parents from the title and theme song aren’t his parents. Because:

If you look closely at the 2 goldfish in his room you will see them turn into the two floating people in this image. THESE are the “odd” parents the title and theme song of the show are talking about. You can see them hidden in every episode of the show.

Vicky is the mean babysitter. She can be seen on the left of the image. She was hired by Timmy’s parents (NOT the magic people — Timmy’s real parents) to babysit Timmy. This means that Timmy’s parents are gone a lot. This is why Timmy has all of these adventures, because he has so much time because Vicky is lazy and wants to all to watch Television all time.

Timmy Turner, the child, is actually not real and he has never been and the universe he lives in is all fabricated. There is proof of this on the opening title if you zoom in:

Timmy Turner and the whole town he lives in and all of his friends and adventures are actually fake and all of it was dreamed up by Butch Hartman, who IS real. He was imagining everything from the beginning and the whole show is just the adventures that he has just dreamed up.

More proof — all these random names come up after the show if you watch to the end of every episode:

These are the names of people who Butch Hartman told to make his dreams real, which is what we see on the whole show. This is proof of what they did and proof of my theory.

If you tell anyone about this theory Please credit me. As far as I know nobody knows about this.

I went to a class on English curse words once, it was pretty epic. The best part was when one student was giving a presentation and the Professor interrupted her, saying “stupid bitch” very loudly, shocking her into silence and cracking the rest of us up. It took him a few seconds until he realised how it came accross and he was quick to explain that he had just added an example to her argument.

[fruity-rumpus-assbutt-factory-d]

Yeah, we were taught this in my linguistics class as well. The point was to illustrate that fluent speakers of a language know the correct way to modify a word even when they haven’t explicitly been taught the rule. Grammar rules even apply to making words which are, strictly speaking, grammatically incorrect. We have an intuition about what is valid.

[jenesaispourquoi]

So at 3:00 this morning when i had not yet gone to bed but was instead going to deal with my 9th or 10th round of reslife shenanigans i hung up the phone and said ‘geez lou-fricking-weeze’, and it got me thinking about the infixation thing because ‘louise’ has the two vowel sounds in a row (ooh and eee), and a glide from ooh to eee is essentially what a w-sound is, but when i pronounce ‘louise’ out loud i don’t hear the w, i hear the two vowels. But, when i added the infix, it sounded really fricking weird to say ‘geez lou-fricking-eez’, so i added the w-sound back in. *shrug* thoughts anyone?

[wuglife]

One of the problems with English “rules” that refer to syllabification is that English doesn’t have very clear syllable boundaries. So, when we have an infix, there is a lot of variability to where it can occur (on a segmental level).

Take the word “balance”:

ba - lance

bal - ance

bal - lance

All three of those options are native judgments for where the syllable boundary could occur. The third option, however seems to be split down the middle of the [l], or duplicates it or something.

I think that’s probably what’s happening in “geez louise”, where “louise” is difficult to split into syllables because of the glide (like the liquid in “balance”).

[lo͡uiz]

lou - ise

lou - uise

I suspect that there isn’t a [w] in the word, but rather there are two vowel-to-vowel transitions, and the syllable boundary occurs in the middle of a transition, giving the impression of a consonant glide.

But this is something important to think about: what does it mean that there is or isn’t a consonant glide there? Would it sound differently? Or would it be represented different in the mind? How can we tell?

[allthingslinguistic]

I’d say that there probably actually is a [w] in “louise”, even though we don’t think of there being one, for two reasons. The first is that English tense vowels tend to be pronounced with an offglide, either [j] or [w] depending on whether the vowel is front or back. This is one of the features that contributes to an “English accent” when speaking many other languages (and conversely to the perception of a non-native accent in English). If you compare English “too” with French “tout” or Spanish “tu” you may notice a difference, or find a speaker of one of these languages to ask. 

The second reason is that it’s really difficult to pronounce two vowels in hiatus like /ui/ in “louise”, no matter what the language. So different languages do different things to get around this pronunciation difficulty, including deleting one of the vowels, changing one to a glide, or inserting a sound like a glide or a glottal stop. Glide insertion is a pretty common strategy to avoid vowel hiatus in English: other examples are “piano” /pijæno/ or “genuine” /dʒɛnjuwajn/. (I’m using glides for diphthongs as well although usage varies here.) 

The [w] in “louise” is probably basically allophonic, not phonemic like the /w/ in “water”, so you could say /luiz/ if you really wanted to and it would mean the same thing, but I think it would sound a lot less natural for English, so I’d probably use /luwiz/ even in a broad transcription. Saying “geez lou-fricking-weez” is therefore totally logical in my books!

After a long day at school I was so happy that it was a Friday . I came home to play a normal game of League of Legends . I opened my client and it said I was permanently banned . I messaged riot games about it and it said Paypal filed something to get there money back . I then found my mom she said she was mad at me and did this for me to get banned and when I asked for my hard earned money she gave me nothing back . I was really sad it took me many months to save up my money and I chose to spend it on League so this was a really sad thing for me . Luckily if i’m able to get the amount of money that Paypal asked for them to refund I can send it back to riot games and get my account unbanned. I ask you to help out a fellow gamer in his times of need . I’ve learned my lesson and now know that I should just buy riot point cards instead of using my moms paypal and giving her money

oh my god ahahahahahahaha

thanks kevin
