Kind of a hard book to read but somewhat interesting too. I have been much into the history of English for a while now and hope to read more. Skimmed some of the end part.

Boy, is this a good one to help with understanding a major logical fallacy. And why would we need that given today's political climate? 🧐

There are sooo many viable options these days…

And also — I ❤️ German. It‘s so strangely and perfectly specific.

BiblioLitten Love it! 2mo
Jari-chan Haha, I didn't know about that word 😂 Thanks for sharing! 2mo
AmyG I can think of many more to add to your list. 🤬 2mo

julesG @Jari-chan We hardly ever use it these days, right? Not even "Backpfeife" for a slap in the face. I think I had to explain it to my children because we read it in a Kästner book. 2mo
Amiable @julesG @jari-chan I think it needs to make a comeback! 😀 (edited) 2mo
Cuilin 😦 I needed a trigger warning for this post lol 😑 2mo
Jari-chan @julesG You're right. I know the word Backpfeife, but I guess it's a bit outdated. Even though it's such a beautiful word 😁 It's not used in Switzerland, though. 2mo
CBee This is 🔥 and also I‘m going to ask my German hubby about this word! 2mo
Amiable @Jari-chan @julesG My German teacher used it in class the other day when we were discussing how German words and phrases get “built.” She grew up in East Germany before the Berlin Wall came down. I think she‘s about 50. (edited) 2mo
Amiable @Cuilin Ha ha, sorry! 😬 2mo
TieDyeDude I don't know that a fist would be impactful enough... 2mo
squirrelbrain Love this! 😝 2mo
julesG @Amiable same, I also grew up in East Germany. German nouns are great, you can put nearly any amount of nouns together to make a new one. 2mo

I‘ve been trying to make space for hanging with friends as we start heading into the months of sadness and darkness (yay seasonal affective disorder 🙃)

10/10 Highly recommend just sitting and chatting. 💕

Amiable I love this word —after we went to Sweden, I came back and encouraged my coworkers to adopt the practice of fika! We now have a “fika break” when we are all in the office at the same time. (edited) 2mo
Cuilin @Amiable I love that!! ☕️🍩 2mo

Oh, how true this allusion is.

CBee Love it!! 2mo
lil1inblue 😅 😂 😭 🙃 Ok, the marijuana dispensary one cracks me up. When Michigan legalized recreational marijuana, there were several towns in my area that got all NIMBY and banned dispensaries. After the first year, the cities and townships with dispensaries got their allotment of the tax money, and suddenly the NIMBY attitude disappeared and all the bans were overturned. 😂 2mo
dabbe @CBee TY! 🧡💜💛 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue Well, if that ain't a perfect description of living in a pro-capitalistic society, I don't know what is. 😂😍😂 2mo
