One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern, or attracted much sustained inquiry. In consequence, we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us.

me: actually, english is not the most difficult language to learn...
right-wing american who almost failed Spanish 2 in high school: how dare you. the past tense of think isn't thinked, it's thought. how much harder can a language possibly be? enough and though don't even rhyme. english is at the apex of linguistic complexity. how dare you.

So you know how you colloquially call a psychiatrist a “shrink” in English right ? Well, in German we colloquially call them a “Seelenklempner” which literally translates to “soul plumber”.

concept: a podcast about an ancient greek, an egyptian, and a norseman who are bffs and argue about whose mythology is the least fucked up

norseman: i mean i think we can all agree here that really the greeks are the worst egyptian: that’s a pretty good point greek: what? fuck you guys, that’s…look, the norse can’t talk norseman: ‘oh here’s our king of the gods zeus, he turned into a swan to bang a chick’ egyptian: *helpless giggling* greek: excuse me? excuse me?? do NOT get me started on loki. y’know, the dude who turned into a horse so he could fuck a horse and then GAVE BIRTH to a horse with EIGHT LEGS norseman: now hang on, eight legs is completely reasonable compared to those, those, what, the hecatoncheires? the dudes with a hundred fuckin hands? greek: YEAH BUT ZEUS DIDN’T GIVE BIRTH TO THEM egyptian: ahahaha keep going guys, i’m taking bets in my groupchat over who’s gonna win the inevitable fistfight greek: yeah laugh it up hatshepsut, at least zeus didn’t become king by jizzing in someone’s salad

In Irish we don't say "Goodbye"

We say “slán go fóil” which means “safe for now”

I can’t decide if this is cute or slightly menacing??

“être dans la lune”

lit: to be in the moon. means to be lost in your thoughts and oblivious to what’s going on around you at the moment. 
eg: comme toujours, elle était dans la lune; pendant le dîner familial, tout ce qu'elle a fait était de regarder par la fenêtre.
ps. note how dans is used instead of sur
