this video singlehandedly restored my christmas spirit

the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ has only been actually typed once by a single person, everyone else who has ever used it has just googled “shrug emoji” and copy-pasted it

why repaint the mona lisa

Listen, I don’t want to be That Person™ but I’ve made the important and entirely unfortunate discovery that el anillo “ring” is just a diminutive of el ano “anus”

Have fun putting a little anus on your fingers, if you need me I’ll be kinkshaming the entire Spanish language

ok to be fair, the anillo derives from ānulus, which is the diminutive of ānus, which means ring in latin. spanish ano is BORROWED from latin ānus, and so is the english anus. so anillo is a cognate/descendent of latin ānus meaning ring, while ano is a borrowed term.

however, anillo can also be the diminutive of ano. but the meaning of anillo of “ring” doesnt come from ano, it comes from the original latin word for ring.

heres a flowchart cuz i feel like im making no sense

ānus (“ring”) -> ānulus (“little ring”) -> anillo (“ring”)

ānus (“ring”) -> ano (“anus”)

Not quite, no. Anillo derives from ANELLU(S), which also yields Italian anello. If it had derived from ANULUS, which it doesn’t, given regular developments, we would have got *ánulo, with stress on the antepenultimate syllable.

Crisis averted guys

I pray this is true but I’m finding so many conflicting sources. It also doesn’t help that I have no idea how Latin works

…I’m sorry I unleashed this nightmare

what’s funny is that ‘ring’ is often used as slag for arsehole in Ireland. 

Well, I mean, we don’t have to have a name. We could have no name.

Can you believe Thor says this to someone other than Loki?
