I've been showing my young'un some of the classic Looney Tunes. One of my favorites was "Knight-Mare Hare", the one with the knight and the dragon and Merlin getting turned into a horse.quote:Sir O of K: Surrender, varlet. Thou art the prisoner of me lance. Sir Osis of the Liver. Cirrhosis of the Liver.  Granted, I would never get that as a grade school student, but I'd understood when Bugs replied with "Duke of Ellington", "Count of Basie" and such. Go figure. Mezzanine has a new favorite as of 08:23 on Feb 15, 2016 |

One of these days I need to go back and watch as much Looney Tunes as I can to catch jokes I missed as a kid.

I thought to myself, "you know, cenotaph is like an empty tomb, and cenote is a kind of hole in the ground, they must have similar etymology". I literally couldn't have been more wrong. Cenote is from the Mayan, and cenotaph is (kenos = empty and taphos = tomb) from the Ancient Greek. :tmyk:

I didn't just realize it, but it's definitely a Duh Moment that has come to a head again recently since I'm now getting a shoutout on a podcast I support: My nick here comes from my irl nickname, Bibs. Pronounced as its typed. Lobster bib, MisterBibs. It took me maybe a few years to realize that such a pronunciation was loving with how people guess-pronounce my full last name. The Bib in my last name is pronounced Beeb. My only defense in not putting two and two together is that nobody has ever guess-pronounced my last name right in the history of my life anyway, long before I had the nickname. Linguistically, 'Bibwhatever' isn't assumed to be Beebwhatever'. MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 09:21 on Mar 1, 2016 |

Two word-related realizations: Seldom means a lot less than I thought it would. It's synonymous with hardly or barely. This whole time I thought it meant sometimes, like nearly half the time. It's usually used as a negative. Amalgam has an accent on the second syllable, not the first. This entire time I've been pronouncing it A'-mal-gam, and I've never heard otherwise. In my defense, this pronunciation totally sounds like its definition, meaning a mixture of stuff (like it's a mixture of random syllables).

I listened to a ton of Primus in the mid-late 90s. About 7-8 years ago, I got into Tom Waits and still listen to his music all the time. I just realised that it was him singing on the song Tommy the Cat. It came on randomly earlier today on Google Play and I had a very much  moment.

That sound in "Jump Around" by House of Pain isn't a distorted scream, it's a squeal on a trumpet or some other brass instrument.

Inzombiac posted:I pronounce it "Uh-mal-gum" though I knew someone that said it, "Aye-male-gum" but he was from Minnesota. I have a theory that the guys from MST3K/Rifftrax deliberately mispronounce words to get angry fan letters or that the Midwest is just utterly horrible at pronunciation. Every single ep has some horribly mangled words or the emphasis is just so far off that they may have never spoken or heard spoken the words in question.

I never watched it growing up where I did, but if they were nerdy like me, they read more words than they heard & so a bunch of those words would just end up being pronounced however their brain would think it made sense. It's not like spelling makes sense in real life once you get past the really old words.

I still remember reading the one where he's angry at feminists or something and it turns into this weird unbirthing thing where he's crawled all up inside a woman and makes her run around and destroy buildings. I read that poo poo when I was 10. Not into unbirthing.

The jingle for a shoe store here (the Shoe Shed) is very roughly to the tune of Footloose. And moments after I realised that, it's probably a roundabout pun. (Shoe/Foot)
