Like Joe for coffee.
Water?
Never touch the stuff.
Fish fuck in it, doncha know?
It’s got a 100% mortality rate too - think about it
So does every other drink for that matter.
That is also true
Never drink anything and you’ll be immortal
Killed by your own saliva
In Finland we call it “non-alcoholic vodka”
In Dutch its gemeente pils, which translates to municipal pilsner.
Water is the nickname. We forgot its real name
Just like bears
I fucking love the etymology of animal and food words. My favorite is deer, which is related to the German Tier, and originally meant “animal,” because I imagine early Germanic speakers looking at a deer and thinking “this is it, the quintessential animal.” I get it, honestly.
Not really early Germanic though, because every other Germanic language kept the meaning of “animal”. It’s only modern English (since the 1500s) that narrowed it all the way to one specific species (or family of Cervidae).
My guess would be that the language gained the word “animal” from French and “deer” was pushed from its niche and forced to specialize?
Go on…?
The modern English word “bear” originally came from a proto-Germanic word meaning one of “brown one” or possibly “wild animal”. There was an actual name for bears, but speaking it was taboo in case it caused a bear to appear, so the euphemism eventually replaced the real name.
When I learned this originally, I was taught that the true name was lost to time, but Wikipedia just says it was “arkto” so whatever.
Shhhh! Do you want bears? That’s how you get bears. The name was lost, never type it again.
Dihydrogen monoxide
I prefer oxidane
I mean, *wódr̥ sounds a lot like water doesn’t it
A nice tall glass of raw ice, please.
I prefer my ice medium rare.
You’ve never tried ice til you’ve had it poached
I dunno, man. I’ve heard it being referred to as “aqua-cola”. I’ve also heard it’s incredibly addictive, which makes sense because not a lot of time has to pass at all before I start to crave more of it. It’s practically impossible to resist.
Should’ve never been started on that shit. I dunno why it’s so normalised in society…
The ultimate gateway drug. EVERY addict of any kind started by drinking water. They should ban that shit.
100% of water addicts have died
Sky Juice in Malaysia
In Germany das kühle Nass. The cool wet.
I only know that term when referring to a lake or similar. Something like: It’s a hot day, let’s jump into the (kühle nass).
OG German nickname is Gänsewein - the goose’s wine.
Over here we call it Council Juice
I love that one. I’m right in thinking it’s specifically tap water, right? (As in the water provided by the council, you wouldn’t use it for Evian or whatever).
Yes specifically tap water
Council pop.
Morning brown, morning brown
Get yourself a cup of morning brown
Morning brown, morning frown
What the heck is morning brown?
Well, morning brown is great, you get it
in a cup
Add cream and sugar, then you stir it all up
It comes from beans, have it hot or with
ice
In a day, I’d say, only drink it thrice
Morning brown, I’m still not sure
Can you please explain it some more?
It’s coffee, ya fuck
Oh, right, yep
Man I fucking love aunty Donna
For anyone interested. Maybe so.eone can provide the non-YT link… I just woke up and am lazified
…can someone get this guy a history book? Shakespeare alone used 14.
Fourteen is a terrible nickname for water
O(16) - 2*H(1) = 14
Sublime
Namely?
Well how else would you use synonyms for a noun?
I was corrected in that he used allegorical terms, but still. Stuff like that can also be considered a nickname.
Even without Shakespeare I can think of “agua,” “souse,” “sky nectar,” and “wet” all of which are nicknames I heard in the Chicago area in the 80s and 90s.
I didn’t know “souse” also referred to pickling brine or a drunkard until literally 20 minutes ago.
Edit: and “souse” was pronounced like the name of the fat guy in Gravity Falls.
Name 5
Bo’oh’o’wa’er
As opposed to the American Boddle’a’Wardder?
