Wuthering Heights

ancient greek word of the day: κακοθερής (kakotherēs), unfitted to endure summer heat

this literally means “bad at summer” pass it on

Reblog if you, too, are bad at summer

Fun linguistic history: When a child touches something bad, Italian parents will warn them by saying, "No, è cacca!" (No, it’s poop!). This perfectly mirrors the word kakka - a global Lallwort - which is the exact baby-talk sound that Greeks evolved into the word kakos, meaning evil, or ugly. So, if you put that together with theros (summer), all I can think about is "poopy summer weather."

you ever just hand things to ur pet to sniff so they can feel included

I know that I am biased, but Italian language is so beautiful. It is music per se…
