My Give-a-Damn is Broken

We went to see family at Christmas a couple of years ago and my granddad dug this article out from 1977!

It’s that time again. It’s Tumblr’s 2022 Year in Review!

Every year, the team behind Fandometrics analyzes, categorizes, and ranks all the most discussed things on Tumblr—that’s a year’s worth of your tags, searches, posts, likes, and reblogs—and packages them up into a little thing we like to call Year in Review.

Tumblr’s Year in Review contains a full 365 days’ worth of data, but it runs from October 21, 2021, to October 20, 2022. Tragically, this means Goncharov (1973), the greatest mafia movie ever made, will not appear on the lists this year. We’re just as disappointed as you are, but that gives us all something to look forward to in 2023—especially if @vancityreynolds’ remake gets a release date.

This Year in Review has all your classics like Movies, Web Series, and Anime & Manga. It’s also got last year’s new lists (because, frankly, what would a Year in Review in 2022 be without Genshin Impact Characters and Minecraft Streamers?). And we’ve added some new lists for you this year, too—a brand new Formula 1 list and a few special editorial deep dives.

Stay tuned this month. There may be a few surprises along the way. Maybe even an exciting launch next week. Who knows! We certainly don’t! Not a clue. For now, here’s Tumblr’s Year in Review for you to dig into.

It's the equivalent of saying "shoot" instead of "shit"

miércoles "Wednesday" starts off very similarly to mierda "shit"

It's very common in some places in Latin America, and I think probably the best known example of it is in the song Camisa negra by Juanes

jope, jopeta, jolines... instead of joder

ostras (lit. “oysters”) instead of hostia in Spain [while hostia means “communion wafer” there are many expressions in Spain involving hostia used in a vulgar way; basically blasphemy in a cursing way]

caray or caramba which come across like “wow” or “whoa” or “geez” depending on context... instead of carajo which is more like “fuck” or a vulgar exclamation
