I think European Union is weird with some accents. It sounds almost like "Europinyinyinyin"
I am not sober. I just had far too much fun saying "europinyinyinyin" out loud over and over again, so thank you for that. :)
I think I have some extended family who probably say it similarly to that, too. Probably the ones from the deep south.
I'm happy you like it, it's been stuck in my brain for months and I still think it's a bit funny.
Try 'European Piano Player Union'
I tripped on that one and ended up saying "European pianer player union," which made me laugh until I coughed.
Now you just sound like you’re from Delaware
That’s just, like, Europinyin, Man.

An enemy

All right, all right, don't hurt yourself!
Now that's a shower thought I like!
It did, didn't it?
Sixths
I salivated so hard trying to pronounce that word the whole metro is looking at me now
Let me also introduce you to the concept of tongue twisters.
Or, to come to the point:
"Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better."
I actually kinda like how it feels to say.
A D-Day tit
Also "pocketed it."
Edded a tit
Or this monster:
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
The fact that that sentence can even be considered in any way correct is a fucking travesty
I would argue that, without the punctuation, it's not technically correct. The references to James and John saying "had had," at least, should be in quotes. Additionally, unless broken up with a semicolon or a period before the final four "hads," it's a run-on sentence.
If you change the "hads" that mean provided/said in the context of the sentence (excluding the quoted ones), you could write it as:
James, while John had [said] "had", had [said] "had had"; "had had" had [provided] a better effect on the teacher.
And though it doesn't flow right to me to have James and his action verb split by a phrase about John, I'm not sure that's incorrect. Phrasing it to fix the flow, for me, would be:
While John had [said] "had", James had [said] "had had"; "had had" had [provided] a better effect on the teacher.
I guess. But to me the most baffling thing is such a sentence can even be constructed. Even disregarding the missing punctuation. I don't think I could even get close to this in my native language. Maybe 2 or 3 worda at most and even then probably not.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
