If the planet recycled as much as Buzzfeed’s writers we might be in pretty decent shape.

Tumblr right now

I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmm

Every time I see a post about updog I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help the poster complete their joke.

okay but what’s updog ?

Updog is a long sausage in a bun often served with ketchup, mustard, onion e, and/or relish.

No, that’s a hotdog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released

You’re thinking of update. Updog is when you end a sentence with a rising intonation.

No, that’s uptalk.  You’re thinking of the fourth-largest city in Sweden.

surely that’s Uppsala, whereas Updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.

That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs

You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.

no that’s an updraft

updog isn’t a noun at all, it’s a verb; it basically means to chew someone out, or harshly lecture them

No, that’s upbraid. An updog is a small dog that likes cuddling on people’s laps.

No that’s a puppydog. An updog is when the Mets win.

No that’s an upset. An updog is the modern version of a henway.

What’s a henway?

Oh, about 5 pounds.

Maybe the ghosts of insects you killed come back to haunt you and that’s why you feel like there’s a bug crawling on you when there actually isn’t.

die Sollbruchstelle

  • sollen = to be supposed to, to be intended to
  • der Bruch = crack, fracture
  • die Stelle = place, position, spot, site, location, point, …

die Sollbruchstelle = predetermined breaking point

I proudly present to you the cause of every linguistic trauma a student of German studies may suffer from:

EIERSCHALENSOLLBRUCHSTELLENVERURSACHER

(= a tool that causes a predetermined breaking point in the shell of an egg)

can you imagine to analyze the morphology of this word??? This was our first example for the morphologic analysis in a lesson called “introductory course of linguistics”

We cried…

  • das Ei (pl. die Eier) = egg (eggs)
  • die Schale = shell
  • die Eierschale = egg shell
  • sollen = to be supposed to
  • der Bruch = crack
  • die Stelle = site, place, position, spot
  • der Verursacher = noun derived from the word
  • verursachen = to cause, related to:
  • die Ursache = cause

der Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher = …

How does it work? You place the device on top of the egg, stabilize it with your finger on the little plastic ball at the top, lift the massive metal ball all the way to the top and let it drop. CLACK!!! Now you have a neat preformed crack around the top of the egg.

Never mind the word, I bet @dduane (the boiled egg fan in this house) would want the gadget…
