OMG.... IM ACYUALLY SPEECHLESS RN AHHHH AHHAHHAFHHHHHHHH

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.

Some of these are fucking wild.

Huh, gonna start using these some of them are pretty fuckin funny

number six lmaoo

I love weird linguistics stuff like this~ I frequently use my weird love for Autological words as an icebreaker so I like having more “English is weird” stuff to gush over :3

sorry, can't today. the narrative forces aren't aligned

yeah i'd love to, but it'd be anti-thematic to my character arc

sounds fun but i'm at the Refusal of the Call part of my hero's journey. yeah maybe next week

Your actions may seem fruitless now, but later on someone may feast upon the treasures of the tree you grew :)

You were terrified when you were sentenced to be thrown into the labyrinth with the Minotaur. That is until the Minotaur charged around the corner and you discovered, to your surprise, that the Minotaur was a calf. You’re not a victim. You’re a babysitter.

Well I guess that answers my last question lmao
