yeah I eat rear end posted:Yeah but not THAT small. Now it seems like (based on what I see in the stores anyway) you're extremely lucky to get a half-size bar, where back when I did it only the lame houses gave out half size and it was always a race to get to the full size bar houses before they run out. Now it's pretty much all "fun size" candy for ants. There's nothing "fun" about that size. https://youtu.be/3iYM-lJXMDw&t=12m42s I know you now, yeah I eat rear end Elissimpark has a new favorite as of 18:47 on Oct 29, 2019 |

Someone put home-baked cookies in mine once, I could only presume it was one of the old fuckers that hadn't left their house except to collect yard decorations since 1975

we had a neighbor who always made homemade popcorn balls (or sometimes they'd be in gloves so they were popcorn hands instead) but our parents knew her so we just ate them. she did it because she was old and on a pension and popcorn is much cheaper than candy

I get about six trick or treaters a year, so you better believe they get king size candy bars. And if I don't get rid of them all, I get king size candy bars.

Another Hallowe'en peeve bc it comes up at work surprisingly often, people who take their kids Hallowe'en candy away from them (without an agreement with the kid). Sometimes it's 'hurr durr I'm teaching them about taxation', sometimes it's simply 'yeah I let them have a bit the night of then throw the rest out when they're at school' but, your children are people and deserve your respect, Jesus christ?? What do you think you're modeling to them about how to respect other people's possessions?? Also, teeth and pancreata are not so fragile that Hallowe'en will ruin your kid e: and to those who would say 'have kids first before judging someone's parenting', a) no, b) gently caress you, c) I'd make a way better parent than you lmao Killingyouguy! has a new favorite as of 05:33 on Oct 30, 2019 |

Helios Grime posted:Well I've never seen it before and it irritates me now. Hallowe’en is a contraction of Hallows’ Eve as it’s the day before All Hallows’ Day, or All Saints’ Day as most people call it now. It was the time that you remembered the dead and as with a lot of western Christianity a good dose of paganism got mixed into the festivals.

The ‘v’ is replaced by the apostrophe, and the ‘n’ probably comes from the Scottish pronunciation of evening which they shortened to ‘even’ and other dialects shortened it to ‘eve’, so Hallows Even(ing) became Hallowe’en. People get lazy pronouncing words and they get contracted and worn down over time.

Brawnfire posted:Uaz, ðec hæuut krüci 5i nnòi ᚦauudz I always find it amusing to hear "THis is England, speak English" due to english only existing due to imported cultures. If you want to whine, learn to speak British, ie old english Beowulf style, then you'll have a leg to stand on. Also I find accents interesting because they are basically one language spoken using the phonemes of another. Like Japanese with an English accent is Japanese spoken with English Phonemes and vice versa.

lol just lol if you don't only speak proper proto-indo-european. Actual pet peeve: people insisting english is based on latin and/or greek. I can only assume these people have never seen french or german (or any of its cousins) written down or spoken cuz I'm fairly certain an uncontacted andaman islander could figure out what english is derived from by experiencing those three together for like a week. e: my german is Very Bad but I cannot think of a basic german word I've learned that isn't either cognate to basic english or translated into something we use a basic french cognate for. "dog" doesn't go to either but we also have hounds and canines so. e2: where the gently caress does the word dog come from? some celtic language?

SA related Pet peeve. The headlines for the threads is funny instead of descriptive. I want to know what the thread is about. I guess people think it reads like "Clever funny line that is relevant to thread, huhuh". But it reads more like "LOOK GUYS I AM BEING FUNNY, I AM BEING FUNNY GUYS!".

I always read it in my head like "hallow - wee- en" with an extra syllable and keep repeating it internally over and over getting more annoyed at it each time. It's one of those things that people learn about and use excessively so they can post "well actually that's the Correct way" when people ask them why they're typing it like that. To generalize this, my peeve is smug correctness. You're right, but I badly want you not to be because it's annoying.

Words like that are most likely remnants of earlier tribal languages spoken in certain areas, similar to the word "sea" which displaced different words in different languages. In German See means lake, Meer means sea in German, but Mer means sea in French (think of Mermaid) and lake is Lac, in Dutch Zee is sea, but Meer is lake. "Lake" and "Mer" is a purely indo-european word but "sea" probably weaseled its way into various languages and came to mean various things over time because, like dog, it's a short easy word to pronounce and points to something really common and everyday. Dog is probably also from some tribal language that used to exist in northwest europe but went extinct and passed some words into the indo-european languages

I always thought mer vs sea was just a latin/germanic thing. Languages are neat.

People who claim to be "weird". If you commit public, homoerotic ritual suicide in the name of an obscure political or religious cause, I'd say that's pretty weird. If you are a guy who got knocked on the head and suddenly only speaks Chinese and no other languages, you are also eligible to call yourself weird. The fact that you dabbed in your holiday photo, on its own, does not mean that you are weird.

The general decline in quality content among youtube videos, forums, news, and blogs, etc. around holidays. I don't want the internet to be filled with CURRENT HOLIDAY. I can go out there and experience it. Especially April fools is not really that funny. It just means I have to reluctantly avoid the internet for two days. Sort of the same thing with Christmas, Easter and Halloween. I am on my phone to ignore that poo poo for two seconds.

Shibawanko posted:People who claim to be "weird". see also: claiming to be eccentric because you bought a monocle or something. Some personality labels are inherently things that you can't place on yourself, because they imply a lack of self-awareness, hence why you're being so "weird". You can't wear a personality, no matter what hot topic has tried to tell people all this time.
