i’m beginning to think some of you guys don’t actually like old man yaoi as much as you say you do.
what the fuck do you mean “overstimulated” I acted like that because I absorbed all the noises and stress and textures from the grocery store because I’m an empath
learned the other day that people wrote fanfiction of those two. real. russian guys involved with the containment of chernobyl after the HBO miniseries came out in 2019. the dedication to old man yaoi is insane.
congrats to the happy couple.
have you read this before now ?
Isn't this how it's supposed to work? Initial supply sparks demand, so more supply is made to meet that demad.
i was present a few months ago when my best friend found out that outlier isn’t pronounced “oot-lee-yay” and i haven’t been the same since
“average person thinks outlier pronounced oot-lee-yay” factoid actualy (sic) just statistical error. No person thinks outlier pronounced oot-lee-yay. French Canadian Georg, who has mispronounced word for 39 years, is an ootleeyay adn should not have been counted
This phenomenon (not this *specific* instance, but in general) is *extremely* common in people who read a lot as kids and know a great many words but haven’t actually heard them said aloud.
“oot-lee-yay” makes perfect sense to me since your friend is French Canadian (not Georg). -ier is a common suffix and I’m sure they’re familiar with oubliette and other such words.
But very few people are willing to admit that they’ve been caught up by this, too, because it’s embarrassing and makes them feel foolish or unintelligent (they’re neither).
(I’m only not confessing to mine because my memory is shit and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was. But my father for years thought hors d’oeuvers was pronounced “Horse d’overs”. )
*raises hand* I also thought that was the pronunciation, and that “ord-erves” was an entirely different concept. I loved reading about Percy-phone and when the God of the Underworld abducted her. And so on and so forth. A previous housemate was greatly entertained by my continuing mispronunciations.
So many people I know originally read ‘misled’ as ‘myzled’. I still like ‘myzled’ as a word, although it has connotations of confused/befuddled to me, which ‘misled’ doesn’t.
‘nostalglia’ is not pronounced like I thought it would and I learned the difference in my 20s
Until I was 9 I pronounced “racism” like “fascism”
I'm here.
Earlier in your day you reblog this, the funnier it is
I mean, I originally posted it at like 8:15 in the morning.
Reblog if you are going back to bed now
I’m so glad I have tumblr gold so I can view this post
Tumblr gold users rise up
one time i went up to my friend (also my coworker) and gave him hug from behind and just like held him there for a moment and our one regular client walked in and was like “huh….so are you guys like….winnie the pooh and piglet?” and i lost my fucking mind. what does that mean. i also said yes and that i was pooh.
me and this coworker are now dating and the same client client came into today and was like “sooo winnie the pooh and piglet?” again so we asked him what he meant and apparently those were the only two male fictional characters he could think of that hug
