credburn posted:I played the entirety of Serious Sam: BFE unsure what the acronym was about and I kept expecting that eventually I would just get it. When the game ended, it never revealed it, I don't think it ever even said "butt loving Egypt." I tried to look it up online but I thought BFE was specifically a Serious Sam thing and so... well, anyway, eventually I learned it. BFE in Serious Sam is "Before First Encounter" because its a prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter or am I getting whooshed.

Your brother learned a new word the other day: Triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number 13. He's afraid of 13 because that's the age he feels he's going to peak as a man and then it will all go to poo poo after like it did for you.
We're only here to un-do the damage you've done to our family name.

I accidentally posted this in another thread, and since I can't delete the other I'm just gonna crosspost at the risk of me looking like a jackasscaspergers posted:Saw some scandinavian goons in the thread, found something recently about the nordic languages. Y'all probably know but it's still really fun.

I don’t know the IPA symbols but if you’re going to use it verbally I believe that should be pronounced “stell-teed”.

Just saw this word in a PYF derail and drat if I'm not going to add it to my posting vocabulary:Soul Dentist posted:While we're anecdyodeling I just want to say that Atlanta drivers are the worst in the US. It so perfectly sums up how/when a derail subject comes up and everyone needs to holler out "when I was a kid/in my country/my personal experience that doesn't extend to everyone", I love it. Anecdyodel-ay-heee-hoooo!

Say what you will about their music and especially their earlier lyrics, but as people ICP own p hard and were actually really popular amongst the queer youth I volunteered for in Michigan. ICP fur suit is a surprisingly wholesome google search

I'm an Icelandic speaker I can read and understand a lot of old Norse sources without too much effort. I can also kinda sorta get the gist of Old English because it's often pretty close.

My landlord (who lives above me and is a really cool dude) replaced my janky door knob today. The old one had a sticky latch, so we kept coming close to "locking" ourselves out even if the door was unlocked. I texted him to tell him thanks (he'd done it while I was at work), and that the new knob/lock worked great, and he said: No problem. Should be slicker than owl poo poo. Anyone ever heard that one? New one to me.

Para inglês ver - Literally Portuguese for 'so the English can see (it)' Metaphorically means something that is done to satisfy another person's requests without actually having done anything. Depressingly, comes from the time period when Britain was cracking down on the Atlantic slave trade, so Portugal passed a whole bunch of laws showing the British that they were complying with their demands... But then doing nothing to enforce said laws.
