@Karla Most of those have to be deliberate.
At least I hope so, the alternative - people designing it and not realising how it looks - is too depressing.

The main part of the costume...I made.
Did you make the floating severed cat head?
No, I did. That one was for the notification noises.

The British are the only ones that have worked out a way to beat speed cameras. They use old tires and petrol.
A bit of tar and a paintbrush work well too. It also takes longer for anyone to notice. Just sayin' and not implying that it is a lawful act or anything…
Maybe. But it wouldn't be nearly as fun and extravagant.
You can do it right, or you can do it twice.

I lied!
On account of rest of my nation, I apologize. Most of us do know better, I swear!
Yes, I'm pretty sure it's from here, I don't think that word for onions is used anywhere else. Oh, no, excuse me "bow". Wait, how do you even...
So "luk" (which is a word for both onions, bow (the one you shoot arrows from), and an arch (look, we're poor, there was a word shortage!)) gets translated to "garlic".
But when they use "kapula", which is red onions specifically, then they translate it to "bow"? What in the...
Ok, I retract my apology. And smallpox is the least of WTFs. So fail all around!
-
@Onyx It also seems that the Croatian variant of Centar has cheese on it while the English one doesn't. Ripping off tourists again!
-
@Onyx said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

I'd guess all Slavic languages. In Russian it also means both onions and the bow.
Despite the order, it seems it wasn't luk that got translated to smallpox, but kozice - no idea what it could be, google translate suggests only smallpox.
-
@blek Sir means Cheese?
-
-
@obeselymorbid I think kozice is shrimp. It also sounds kinda like goats (or, for some reason, boobs) in Czech (kozy).

Every language appears to have tried to name everything using simplistic words first, then they run out of those and the remaining objects are named in a scheme of "whatever the fuck this is"

Our nobles smell, yes. Did I mention we're poor?

Correct. And smallpox is called "vodene kozice" (no idea why the "water" part is specifically mentioned). No idea why it's called that, I always found it weird as well.
-
@Onyx apparently the same word can mean shrimp or smallpox? According to Google Translate...
It does a halfway decent job on the other one too...
Regular Google suggested that 'čevapi' is grilled meat and 'ajvar' is a red pepper sauce, and it's probably served on flatbread.

@anotherusername said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Kind of... but no one with any freaking sense would equate them. As for the name, it's odd, but then again, seahorse...
@anotherusername said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Pretty much what you'd make a hamburger from, just not in a patty form and grilled, yeah.
@anotherusername said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Yup.
@anotherusername said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Usually, yeah. Not necessarily here, I'm not familiar with that dish, if it even is a thing past that one place the photo was taken at.

I tried to make a joke about your grammar but couldn't come up with anything even remotely funny, so I won't bother. I'll simply be an unfunny and say that you formed a possessive instead of a plural. I'll take "Extraneous Apostrophes" for $100, Alex.

@dkf Here's my British colleague's idea:
- Get his car from the UK to Sweden.
- Borrow a skeleton from the medicine department and put it in the passenger seat with an extra steering wheel.
- Speed past a stretch of speed cameras.
- ???
- Profit!
It is wicked! You should do that while still you can.

This appears to be one of the ignored threads.Besides, I wear the group tag "DISCOURSE TOUCHED ME IN A NO-NO PLACE", certainly I'm no longer "untouched"?
Bah. I'm too tired for this...
