A lot of small children say that, so it could be a mistake that she just never bothered to unlearn, like how some people go their entire lives saying "fink" instead of "think" or "somethink" instead of "something".

"Some people" being Cockneys, the Cornish, some people from Yorkshire, a significant number of African Americans and Newfies.

Quite a lot of English speakers don't bother with "th".

My favorite weird bit of irish is "duine gorm", which is the proper phrase to use to describe a black person, except it literally translates as 'blue person'. One theory I read was that it happened because the first irish people to meet a black african didn't want to be rude and call them 'duine dubh' (black person) because that was uncomfortably close to a common term for the devil.

edit:bad grammar as gaeilge

This is a thing in Icelandic as well. "Blámaður" or "Blueman" is an antiquated word for someone from Africa which itself was sometimes referred to as "Bláland". Both of these words are seen as at least a bit racist these days. However somewhat confusingly in some old Sagas "blámaður" is just as often used as a word for troll* or ogre which let to it feeling a bit awkward to read about Saga heroes wrestling trolls that were being called a racial slur. It is possible the Norse picked up the habit of applying this word to Africans from the Irish since Ireland had quite a bit of a Norse presence in the Viking Age and Gaelic slaves were common. As much as 20% of the original settlers of Iceland were Celts of some sort, mostly from Ireland, and almost all of them slaves and/or concubines.

Svertingjar and Blökkumenn are similarly old but are generally considered to be more acceptable to this day. Both basically mean Black men. The latter has been in use since at least the 11th century since there is a Varangian runestone from that time in Sweden raised in remembrance of a man called Hróðfúss who was betrayed by "black men" while working as a Varangian in the south. Most scholars don't think these are actual Africans but rather one of the Slavic or Turkic tribes that lived near the Byzantine empire. Most likely the Wallachians since they are called by that name elsewhere but possibly the Cumans. Both of these groups were just as pale skinned as the Norse but apparently "blakkr" could mean both "black" and "pale".



*Which although now synonymous with ogres once referred to any sort of supernatural creature or practioner of magic. Same goes for "draugr" which now refers to ghosts but is used to describe basically anyone monstrous or scary in older texts. As a sidenote the Icelandic, and Old Norse in general, draugr was a shape-shifting walking corpse that has more in common with vampires and other revenants than it does with the more ethereal ghost spirits more common in most of the world. However in the late 19th century the Icelandic ghost became increasingly less physical and more spirit like as spiritism came into fashion.

Why the Bulgarian mafia though?

Italy is a lot closer than Bulgaria and has several large and influential organised crime groups that are literally the originators of the concept of a Mafia. Heck Corsica is right next door to Spain and they have their own low rent mafia.

Though I fully understand the Bulgarian mafia not wanting to do business at home what with Bulgaria being Bulgaria. It's just that Spain seems to be taking it a bit too far.

Actually thoughts are entirely meaningless as they only exist within your head and are in practice nonexistent to everyone else.

What matters is how those thoughts are put into action and effect the world. Only then are they given any meaning and even then the motivation behind the action is largely irrelevant.

Mary Shelly wrote the story while getting high on laudanum with Percy Bysshe Shelly, Lord Byron, and Lord Byron's dealer who was probably in love with Lord Byron. So maybe.

Well they had to stay inside because it was The Year Without a Summer and the weather was poo poo.

Also Lord Byron made up a story about a vampire that seduces chicks before murdering them and just happens to have the exact same name as the villain from a story that one of his exes wrote. A villain that was very transparently based on Byron.

Then his doctor/possible boy toy wrote it down and fleshed it out a bit resulting in the first piece of vampire fiction, at least in English, and at very least the first example of a vampire that's a suave aristocrat.

So a bunch of young people loving around Europe and getting bored from being cooped up inside all the time resulted in two mega influential works of horror fiction.

The unofficial policy in post-war Germany seems to have been that since basically anyone in any position of power was a Nazi or at least a collaborator it was better to just plug your ears and go "LALALALALALA!" then try to actually go through with denazification since it would be too much trouble.


Two different former Nazi officers ended up as Chairmen of the NATO Military Committee. The third Nazi to be chairman was younger and was only a conscript in the navy..

In some countries Santa only stops by in early to mid December for a parade or to throw a bit of candy at kids and the actual gift giving is handled by Baby Jesus.

Over here we have thirteen mischievous trolls that arrive one at a time from December 12th to put toys or candy in shoes left in windows and all the actual gifts on Christmas , which starts at 1800 on Christmas Eve, are clearly and truthfully marked and have nothing to do with any of them.

also if you don't get any clothes a giant cat eats you.
