Haha I know its an endearment, since we’ve all been friends for years now. One thing that got me recently was one of them talking about the new whipper-snipper he just bought and how quiet it was, being electric.
I had no idea what the hell a whipper-snipper was, but know a “whippersnapper” means young person where I’m from.
Turns out a whipper-snipper is the same as a weed-whacker / weed-eater in my part of the world.
Lol damn I guess I’ve gotten quite a few handys over the years. I purchased most of them for myself, but the free ones were nice too.
Lol this reminds me of BBC Pidgin:
And for some of us they’re difficult in our first language. I mean what the fuck does “he wears his heart on his sleeve mean?” He would die.
I would love to hear the actual idiom if anyone out there knows it haha
Haha I sim race with several Aussies and Kiwis and I’m quite happy to be called a cunt by them because it usually means I won. “'Ow in the fack did yiu get tha leed ya cunt!?”
How the turn tables
And here I initially thought politics when I heard climate change and conservative in the same sentence. As in, “Climate change is not seen as a risk to conservatives.”
Haha i am just starting to learn Japanese and I gotta say its challenging but so fun. I love the grammar, at least as far as I understand it at this point. Like Yoda’s grammar it is.
How much hand-balling are y’all doing over there?
Let’s eat Grandpa.
Let’s eat, Grandpa.
Some of them have, they’re just labeled crackpots

Could be that your quality of sleep isn’t great.
Perhaps you’re tossing in bed or being woken up briefly by something (which you likely wouldn’t remember at all). Or, sometimes people have sleep apnea and don’t know it.
If you can, you should get a sleep study done if it’s becoming a problem.
I have a Moldovan friend who does have a thick accent and had a lot of trouble saying “beach” and “beaches” for a bit.
Once he found out why people were laughing, he decided to keep saying he “loved going to Florida for the bitches” anyway.
Also in Spanish, you want to say “Tengo calor” = “I have heat” instead of “Estoy caliente” = “I am hot”, because the latter is used to mean “I am horny”.
Lmao this explains so much, thank you
I love that in my head im reading “poepen” as “poopin’” with a funny accent
This is super interesting and I often wonder how differences in thought patterns, as they relate to a language, affect the culture of the language speakers themselves.
Do those speaking that dialect have like a cultural feeling that they need to “take” or “receive” or otherwise “acquire” a thing (like RDP) to make a connection? This as opposed to what I see as a very american way of looking at things (again using RDP as an example here), where “we’ve already got it, so will give it to you to make the connection.”
It feels like, and I could be very wrong, one comes from a place of not being accustomed to already having what they need, vs taking for granted the things they have and “sending it forth” or whatever.
