why the fuck does english have a word for

but not for “the day after tomorrow”

???

Because you’re not looking hard enough! 😉

Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow

Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday

Example: I defenestrated my brother ereyesterday. I shall defenestrate my sister overmorrow! Because I hate my family and also windows.

english has some of the best examples of stupidly specific words, tbh

Rhotacism (n): excessive use of the letter “R”

Lingible (adj): meant to be licked

Whipjack (n): a beggar, specifically one who is pretending to have been shipwrecked

Yerd (v): to beat with an object with a stick

Roddikin (n): the fourth stomach of a cow or a deer

Balbriggan (n): a type of fine cotton, most often used in underwear

and my personal favorite

Cornobble (v): to slap or beat another person with a fish

This makes the English nerd in me extremely happy.

Who even made these words I’m going to cornobble them

My dick is lingible

there is a dictionary that has all of these stupidly specific and obscure words and a whole lot more. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I forget where it was but I saw jeans for sale and like they were labeled as “girlfriend cut” instead of ‘boyfriend’ and like the irony to me is that the term “boyfriend style jeans” was originally done as this weird way to heterosexualize the dangerous idea of women wearing slightly loose pants so you knew you weren’t a dyke but like apparently the use of the term “boyfriend” was like too much of a gender confusion crisis for the buyer so they had to change it *again* as opposed to just calling it “loose fitting” to begin w and now it has fully no-homo’d itself into a corner and it just sounds like yr stealing yr jeans from some butch girl yr dating

My fave quirk w boyfriend jeans is that time the gap didn’t realize that having jeans that were “boyfriend” cut and “pegged” style would turn out greater than the sum of its parts

I didn’t know any of this, what the hell!

this is less of an au and more of a conspiracy theory but like….. do we have any definitive proof that jack ISNT just the duolingo owl dressed up as a human man? like bitty kept ignoring the owls increasingly threatening reminders to practice his french so the duolingo owl just created itself an appealing flesh outfit that speaks french in an attempt to make bitty so turned on that hes willing to learn french

hey guys i just found the real reason tumblr’s not on the app store

“flesh outfit” is the worst two word combination in all languages but I wouldn’t put it past duolingo

Fuck the queue function. I’m hitting y’all with four straight hours of whirlwind shitposting followed by eight days of radio silence.

I am probably the only 25 year old I know who still gets gifts “from Santa”, but honestly the way my family uses “from Santa” to mean “please don’t worry about how much this cost and just enjoy it” is a saving grace and I wouldn’t trade it.
