“The Most Popular Girls in School” is BACK and it’s STILL FUCKING GREAT.
Warning: This video contains probably every swear word in the English Language.
“…OK well, good luck.”
Oh, you have to see the final product:
And that glorious woman even wrote the whole process here: http://www.laramiserrano.com/industrial-desk-diy/
Bilingual culture is having to write a word in a specific language for a test and remembering it in every language you know except in the one you need it.
————————————————————————— ( submission by @gwendolynlerman)
This becomes worse when you’re quadrilingual.
Idle curiousity @intj-girl-things , what are your 4 languages?
(In order of skill)
- Brazilian Portuguese (high proficient/native language)
- English (proficient)
- French (upper intermediate/advanced)
- Spanish (upper intermediate/advanced)
I plan on learning more though! Hope the number doesn’t stay at 4 for too long.
I’m jelly. My language skills are pretty pidgon, with smatterings of, in no particular order mind, Russian, Choctaw (Native American, started learning with my gf before we started dating), Japanese, Mexican Spanish, American Sign Language (which I used to be barely fluent in but I’m rusty) Italian, German, like 3 words of Hebrew, and a single word of Arabic (“Let’s go”). Most of those I barely know, on average, 25 words. In addition to English.
*sigh* Guess I’m better with computer languages.
I know English (native), a few words of Spanish, a word or two in Portuguese, a word or three in Irish, a few phrases in Japanese, a few words in Dovahzul, a few phrases in Enkien, and a few phrases in Na'vi.
Write what languages you know!!!
I grew up speaking 4 languages more or less.
Spanish (Native language. Very fluent. Don’t ask me about accent marks. I’ll strangle you. Jkjk)
English (fluent. Self taught bc my best friend was from Jamaica and we would speak English all the time, but I’m not great at it)
Dutch (Intermediate. I was born in Aruba, and every child learns Dutch starting Elementary school. But I moved to Peru after 6ty grade and never spoke Dutch again until last year when u moved to Amsterdam (5years later).
Papiamento (native. fluent but not great. Same issues with Dutch. I stopped speaking it when I moved to Peru, and I only speak it with my dad through the phone and I’ve forgotten plenty of words and grammar. )
Japanese (beginner. Recently started learning it so I don’t consider it my native language (duhhh))
Polish (native)
English (i can understand most things but sometimes find it difficult to speak and say what i mean; b2)
German (i’m half german, i understand a lot but can’t speak well. i only know basics)
Russian (i just started learning, i understand a lot since it’s really similar to Polish, but can’t speak well)
Japanese (i know some basic phrases, i know hiragana, katakana and ~40 kanji, but i haven’t used it in like a year)
Osoba z Polski! Cześć!
Native Brazilian Portuguese, Fluent English, I can get by in Spanish and French and currently i’m living in Japan so also Japanese
SHE DID THAT
me at the family dinner, sometime in 2036
Every time I see this video, it renews me
Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move
Gotta try it
I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.
Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.
Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”
I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.
Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.
Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.
I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.
I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.
Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.
WALK LIKE YOU’VE BEEN SENT TO MURDER CAPTAIN AMERICA
It’s called the Murder Strut.
IT’S BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldn’t find it. I’m so glad IT’S BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!
A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.
This post went from Scientific to Feminist to Educational to HILARIOUS!
#make men get the fuck out of the way 2k17
I do this now. Stand my ground. Men look flabberghasted that i wont move out of the way. The most annoying thing is when i’m walking along holding Superpups hand (he’s 2.5 years old), and people walk right up to us and expect to go between us… so for me to let go of my toddlers hand for the sake of them. One person i actually had to put my free hand out and onto their chest to block the person to stop before they ploughed into us.

You don’t get to look at me the way you did that night and not kiss me.
You don’t get to make me feel this way and not kiss me.
You don’t get to hold me the way you did and not kiss me.
