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?“

Canada has you all beat.

When explorers first came here, they basically asked what the land was called and the tribal representative said “Canada”, which meant “the village”, thinking they were talking about their immediate location.

This name got expanded out and out and out until it became the name for the entire nation.

Our nation’s name is based on a misunderstanding.

So, Does this mean Canadians are The Village People?

melancholically beautiful things:

empty perfume bottles

abandoned castles

pressed flowers

old books with dust all over them

walking all alone in a museum hall

languages that humanity no longer uses

stars, the moon, the entire universe and its secrets
