“You must pay the jellybean tax.”

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

While I cannot provide his specific jellybeans, here are some for your enjoyment:

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Aww, thank you. I meant he was saying that to you. :P

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Haha, I get it now. Well, it got me to spend 5 minutes looking at jellybean toes so I'm not complaining.

"him's" ... As a non native English speaker. Does this exist?

Folks also like to speak in a cutesy but deliberately incorrect way when it comes to cats or dogs.

So yeah, chalk this one up as another 'smol', 'angy' or 'feetsies'

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago

Oh, that what this 'smol' was for... I was wondering why it was sometimes swaped for 'small' on social media

Cats’ language proficiency usually doesn’t develop past the level of a typical human toddler. There are exceptions, like Garfield, but most will mispronounce many words and often use incorrect grammar.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

No, it's not grammatically correct, it's just cutesy online cat speak.
