Bugger means to have anal sex between two men

between two men

lacks ambition

Everything is an innuendo if your mind is in the gutter.

Because she has to be married to me? So do I.

There are also people who can't distinguish between entomology and enterology.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.

@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

It actually is,

enterology (English) -> entero- (Latin prefix) -> ἔντερον (Greek) -> h₁énteros (PIE) -> intrō (Latin) -> enter (English)

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn't count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.

Or endocrinology and endoscopy

"I'm going to see my endo! 🤗" "Wut 😳"

Same with astronomy and astrology. "I'm interested in astronomy."

  • "ah cool! Me too! My zodiac sign is [who cares].

The quality of that picture copied and compressed time and time again is fitting the age of that joke.

First time I've heard or read the word "entomology"

[-] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Well that's epistemological ephemera for ya

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?

I don't know and I don't care.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 1 week ago

And don't get me started on ethnology.
