Necrogamy was the practice of marring a dead person, also called posthumous marriage or ghost marriage. This was legally recognized in France in 1804 to allow marriage to fallen soldiers, but was practiced extralegally elsewhere in Europe.
funniest adhd thing is when you're like ugh. doing this simple task would be too hard. guess i'll do a difficult one instead
The only thing immune to inflation
Now make it a slutty croptop
"creepy or wet" being the lasting impact of the gym copypasta is funny because that wasn't like... a fully bot-generated post. the only things being changed from the original greentext were two words,
based and cringe
what do you mean the original wasnt creepy or wet
someone in a fanfic: s-stutters in embarrassment
me, closing the tab: sorry I must go
Unrealistic Stuttering: “S-sorry I-I d-d-didn’t m-mean t-to…”
Realistic Stuttering: “Sorry, I uh… I didn’t mean- I didn’t mean to do that…”
When people stutter, they usually reword what they’re saying as they speak, and subconsciously insert “filler words” such as “uh, like, you know,” and etc.
*puts on speech therapist hat*
ACTUALLY! It depends on why they are stuttering.
A Nervous Stutter results in what is called Mazing, or rewording the sentence. That is the classic “I, um… well I… look it’s just that… so we…” that @hellishhues is talking about. When someone is mazing their words you’re seeing a form of Speech Apraxia where the brain is having trouble forming verbal speech. This can be brought on by brain damage, memory loss, anxiety, nerves, and several other things.
The root cause of a nervous stutter is a disconnect between the mouth and the brain.
With this you will also sometimes see the classic “S-s-s-sorry…” especially if the person has been training to speak clearly and is now at a point of fatigue or stress where they are not mentally capable of forming the words.
The other kind of stutter is a Physical Stutter, sometimes referred to as slurring, and another facet of Speech Apraxia. This stutter is caused when the muscles of the mouth, tongue, and throat are physically unable to form certain sounds. This is most often seen in the very young and victims of brain trauma.
Sounds are acquired at different ages, so a 2-year-old will probably not be able to clearly pronounce certain words (which is why toddler sound so off when they’re written with developed dialogue). These mis-pronunciations are sometimes referred to as lisping, but only if the sounds are run together. If the person starts and restarts the sound because they got it wrong, it can also sound like the classic sound stutter.
But it all depends on why the character is stuttering!
Do they have Speech Apraxia, Audio Processing Disorder, muscle dysfunction, or another medical reason to stutter? (1)
Are they stuttering because of anxiety, stress, or fatigue? (2)
Does the stutter stem from intoxication or blood loss? (3)
All of those will sound different!
1 - Will have mazing, repeated sound stutters, and be the classic stutter that annoys OP.
2 - This is where you’ll see the repetition stutter, mazing, rephrasing, and filler words.
3 - This is where you are more likely to see starts and stops and slurring of words.
My mum has apraxia and I just wanted to say that’s one of the most concise and clear ways I’ve seen it explained, thank you!
This is like the people always mocking “X let out the breath they didnt know they were holding” as an unrealistic cliche. Just because you dont realize its real doesnt mean its not real
I have a physical stutter and was in speech therapy for 10 years and @lianabrooks hits the nail on the head with her explanation. There are many different types of stuttering, with different causes. Thank you!
I experience all of the above to some degree. I developed the classic s-s-s-stutter that everyone thinks is fake when I was learning to talk and spent a long time in speech therapy to correct it. ADP likely played a role to some degree, though we didn’t know I had that until a few years ago. (I also went through elocution lessons to make me sound less Scottish because my parents thought it would make me more hirable. (It’s a thing.) This actually made my stutter worse when trying to speak in my native accent. Probably because it gave me a mental hang-up.)
By the time I was about 7 or 8, it was mostly under control, and you’d never know I did the s-s-s-stutter thing, but that was because I’d developed a habit of mazing to get around it. Sometimes it’s just easier to let your mouth make other random sounds when you can feel the ones you need to make tripping you up.
Ironically, the mazing still got me in trouble with some people (teachers) because it made me sound too uncertain or, as one teacher told my mother, “ditzy.” (That is not the word they used. The word they use is a lot meaner.) So really, there’s no winning with some people when it comes to trying to modulate your speech to accommodate a stutter.
I did more speech therapy after some nerve damage in my jaw made it pretty bad again, and that helped a lot. But you’ll still sometimes hear me spit out the wrong word on a phone call or on @theayesphere when I get stuck on the occasional s, r, th, or p that just doesn’t want to get off my tongue.
Sometimes you just gotta say nonsense to get your mouth back under control 😅
can we all pretend i didn't say that and instead said something much cooler and more interesting also
Sometimes I see someone on here I think is a bit cringe and I check their blog and see they’re like 15 & the bit of cringe is undercut by a slight fondness. Like when a baby’s being noisy in a store. This still isn’t pleasant but I hold no ill will towards you. Blessings upon your travels
[ID: a reply from @unexpectedyarns that reads “Ah but the 15 YOs think we’re cringe for breathing, let alone being on tumblr” /end ID]
This is also the nature of children. They’re a little bit annoying and they often think you’re uncool. I remain unbothered. A 15 year old’s opinion of me is generally of little personal relevance
On the topic of English people being shitheads towards Welsh people - This fucking dude today on AITA
Yeah pretty sure we're all hoping for a divorce on this one lol

how did this fucker say it's "not as bad as it sounds" and then somehow end up being even worse than it sounds by the fourth sentence
Further updates, I couldn't resist looking this one up.

The thing is that I don't want to be employed but I also don't want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that's not really a feasible option right now
