drgnwr1 posted:What would the direct translation be for mortar as is used in brick walls? iirc the modern one we're familiar with in bricklaying is just a phonetic loan word. They had their own, of course, and called it something else, but I dunno how that one parses. Knowing the way some other Japanese words work, though, I wouldn't be surprised if it's seriously just a compound word that translates to, "the wet poo poo that makes bricks stick together after it dries." It does poetically zen stuff sometimes, I really like the language.

It sounds like these languages use something like kenning, although I guess to really be a proper kenning you'd have to call an air conditioner a "winter-box" or "the north wind of the house" or something e: firetool isn't kenningy enough, call it a pocket-dragon

The White Dragon posted:My favorite is the Japanese word for "mortar," which is essentially an instruction manual. "Gun to be used on those who are armed for close combat" Which word for mortar are you talking about? e: The White Dragon posted:iirc the modern one we're familiar with in bricklaying is just a phonetic loan word.

Woman gives birth, fights off bees, starts wildfire in Northern California http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-woman-lost-forest-20150630-story.html quote:A woman fought off bees, started a fire and survived on apples -- all after giving birth in a lonely stretch of Northern California forest, she told a Bay Area TV station. The woman, Amber Pangborn, 35, of Oroville, made a hasty decision to take an unfamiliar shortcut while driving to her parents house after going into labor Thursday. quote:Pangborns mother, Dianna Williams, told the L.A. Times that her nine-months-pregnant daughter went to a casino on Wednesday to visit a friend and get a respite from the hot temperatures. Pangborn, she said, was also hoping to induce labor.

This is kindof like posting the Vampire Kid headlines or like Alien Autopsy poo poo, though. I'm pretty sure they think up headlines and then just google pictures to fit into their made up poo poo.

syscall girl posted:Something like "washing cat" for raccoon or "electric brain" for computer are funny but "air conditioner" is actually kind of archaic and stupid. I know "electric brain" is computer in Mandarin, I'm guessing "washing cat" is also from there? My favourite direct English translations were kangaroo being the "pocket mouse" and the giraffe labelled as a "long neck deer"
