I know the holidays can be stressful, so this Threshold Day try to keep in mind what really matters. It's not about the gifts or the shopping, it's about breaking the warp barrier. Threshold Day is meant to be a time of transformation (into a lizard), love (for your captain/lizard wife), and spending time with your family (of lizard babies) before you abandon them on a planet forever and never think about them again.

Happy Threshold Day everyone, and don't forget to leave milk and cookies out for Tom Paris as he travels at warp 10 and exists simultaneously at every point in the universe!

I’m just a person, standing in front of the internet, asking it to only write Hallmark Christmas movie inspired Criminal Minds* fanfic until the end of January (at least)

whenever im sad i just think about how the welsh word for microwave is popty ping

cacen

OH FOR SHITTING GOD’S SAKE

JUST WHEN I THINK I’VE EDUCATED THE WORLD ABOUT THE WELSH WORD FOR MICROWAVE THIS PIECE OF SHIT POST MAKES AN APPEARANCE IN MY LIFE SO LISTEN UP YOU GULLIBLE PLANKS AND GET YOUR SCHOOL BAGS READY BECAUSE I’M ABOUT TO EDUCATE THE ABSOLUTE ILL-INFORMED SHIT OUT OF YOU

THE WELSH WORD FOR MICROWAVE IS MEICRODON WHICH IS A LITERAL FUCKING TRANSLATION OF MICROWAVE WHEREAS POPTY PING MEANS ‘PINGING OVEN’ AND LET ME TELL YOU NOW THAT NO ONE FUCKING SAYS POPTY PING IN WALES AND IF YOU HONESTLY THINK WE EVER USE POPTY PING AS A TERM I WILL PERSONALLY DELIVER MYSELF TO YOUR FRONT DOOR AND SHOUT AT YOU FOR TEN DAYS STRAIGHT

ummm this is obviously a passionate subject and im sorry i was just wondering if anyone knows how this got started? was it a knowing prank, or like someone’s aunt in wales who didn’t really speak welsh panicked when asked “what’s microwave” and said “popty ping” and the lie escaped

Oh damn, this post is old now!

It’s a children’s word. It’s exactly the same as how children in English call a train a ‘choo choo’. And then English people thought it sounded a combination of cute and stupid, which tied in with the whole ‘Welsh isn’t a real/valid language’ thing, and from there it continued because no one listens to Welsh people (I’ve literally had more than one conversation where I’ve explained all this and an English person has looked me in the eye and said “Well I prefer it so I’m going to keep saying it’s popty ping, tee hee”. I also vividly remember an English person on Tumblr - who is otherwise lovely - responding to me on this topic to explain to me that if people start using a word then it becomes a valid word, so actually popty ping now IS the Welsh word for microwave, and I had to explain back that no one is using it outside of nurseries and English people, now please will you actually believe us.)

Basically… imagine if the internet decided that “the English word for a set of carriages pulled on rails by an engine is a Choo Choo” and then either patronisingly simpered about it or sneered about how your language should therefore be wiped out about it and you have the issue

And as a final note, the whole thing is extra ridiculous because Welsh has three different terms for ‘jellyfish’ and every one of them is way more charming and batshit than popty ping on its best day AND are the actual genuine terms, so it’s a missed trick

c'mon Shaharazad, tell us about the jellyfish
