I forgot that was the name of a film when I read this and thought you were desperate to show your 5 y/o sister some sort of cursed artifact

the common name "fools gold" for iron pyrite is funnier than we give credit for. imagine scientists discover a new metal and they're like "We're calling this Copper for Idiots"
me: my ear tingles
the internet: YOU HAVE 35 HORSES, 58 MINUTES, AND 27 MINUTES LEFT TO LIVE
I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.
*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.
Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so
Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).
Did anyone notice the fun thing?
Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!
so what do u think about plays
i like how in a theatre time and space are necessarily metaphorical. i don’t like how plays always have to begin with someone walking onstage and talking. too many directors try to work around this by having someone walk onstage and brood in silence for a moment before talking. this is worse.
If you were directing a play, how would it begin?
bagpipes at the back of the auditorium so everyone turns their heads and when they’ve turned back around the play has already begun
PSA to make sure that you're always feeding your bird an appropriate and nutritious diet, even if that means rethinking their current one!
When I was in the hospital, they gave me a big bracelet that said ALLERGY, but like. I'm allergic to bees. Were they going to prescribe me bees in there.
everyones got that homie who, within the depths of the dungeon, found a cruel facsimile of that which he desired most, and was corrupted absolutely
everyone should be able to go whale watching before they die. everyone no matter how far they live from the ocean should be allotted at least one government subsidized whale watching trip. if u don’t at least see dolphins you get a redo. i would be proud to have my tax dollars fund this instead of frivolous and silly things like the military
cackling at this, can NOT believe it's a real, actual quote. it reads so much like one of those clickhole pieces
sorry but this ai expansion of the descartes portrait is literally so swagful
this post leaves out the funniest part of this interaction
how is it that this is like *exactly* how Marvel and Disney Star Wars fans talk about movies
do you think when they release the anchor it bonks a fish on the head sometimes . sorry thats probably sad to think about. maybe jf we imagine the funny coconut bonk sound and the fish is only a little annoyed. lets keep it PG no blood. they have a date at the anemone fields tomorrow it wouldnt be fair. oh fuck a second anchor
