Thoughts of a BookBat

@my-abibliophobia / my-abibliophobia.tumblr.com

Abibliophobia- Fear of running out of reading material. Or that thing that ensures that I always have a minimum of one book on my person at all times.

why the fuck does english have a word for

but not for “the day after tomorrow”

???

Because you’re not looking hard enough! ;)

Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow

Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday

Example: I defenestrated my brother ereyesterday. I shall defenestrate my sister overmorrow! Because I hate my family and also windows.

english has some of the best examples of stupidly specific words, tbh

Rhotacism (n): excessive use of the letter “R”

Lingible (adj): meant to be licked

Whipjack (n): a beggar, specifically one who is pretending to have been shipwrecked

Yerd (v): to beat with an object with a stick

Roddikin (n): the fourth stomach of a cow or a deer

Balbriggan (n): a type of fine cotton, most often used in underwear

and my personal favorite

Cornobble (v): to slap or beat another person with a fish

This makes the English nerd in me extremely happy.

Updated on the tie-dye shirts.

I made the shirts. One with 3/4 length sleeves in pink.

One t-shirt in a blue and yellow spiral

And the last in a bullseye design with all three colors.

Here they are hanging up to dry after being rinsed. We’ll see tomorrow after they dry how they turned out fully

What do you do when you are a grown adult who finds a tie-dye kit on sale for $2.

Trick question.

You buy it and have some fun.

Will update in 6-8 hours after the colors have set. :)
