Chevy Chase is clearly a huge rear end in a top hat but definitely way funnier than Steve Martin I watched an interview from the 70s with Chase on Dick Cavett, and Chase kept looking directly into the camera when speaking and would always glance at the camera after making a joke. I dunno if that was how Cavett's show was supposed to work or if it was just Chase, but he seemed to love it.

He may be the better man but was deffo a different person in his "prime". Meanwhile Martin was kind of always funny. The Jerk especially. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPgurvq6MIU They're old it's comparing apples and oranges that are now rotten.

Put that to my shame pile together with "Yosemite". That which lands me into the same bin as Trump, so thanks for that kick in the face. I ironically call it Yo's might, so don't sweat it.

Superfluous is one of those words that you won't hear in speech very often, I get it. It's been a fair number of years since I figured this out, but I used to think the emphasis in 'deviant' was on the i.

I read Suge Knight's name for years before ever actually hearing it, and I still have to catch myself from saying "Sewj."

Alternate pronunciations are just a popularity contest. If it sounds cool enough you can get yours into the dictionary eventually. Personally I say deluge instead of deluge, which is the correct way according to dictionaries but increasingly less popular to hear in the wild.

It's common to use Jewish ceremonial objects "wrong", to emphasize the difference between those things and the ordinary work you do with ordinary tools. Like when burying a body, those first few shovelfuls are dug with the spoon side of the shovel down, to distinguish that work from other things shovels do. Why then did I need to be told by the internet that a Menorah is not a thing whose light you use to see in a dark place, read or work? It's there "to be enjoyed", not to be put to use.

Twenty years after learning the correct pronunciation, it still bugs me that "sleight" rhymes with "height" rather than "weight" and "freight". (We already HAVE a word pronounced that way, it's spelled without the "e"!)

Cardiovorax posted:It probably does. An actual thing I just figured out, in the horror games thread no less: deer can sound like a hellbeast when they want to get their gently caress on. Relevant for me because of a spooky camping experience I had decades ago where me and a buddy ran back home and stayed the night inside after hearing some spooky monster noise we couldn't figure out. I always assumed it had to be a fighting raccoon or something, but it sounded bigger than that and there weren't any likely larger predators in the area.

Australian possums are cute, stupid, harmless omnivorous creatures that hang out in trees at night.
