When people get a little too gung-ho about-
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
That’s…wild. What was I talking about?
#“chaise lounge” came from a mishearing of “chaise longue” meaning “long chair”#“white rhino” came from a mishearing of “wide rhino” describing their wide mouth#“Pennsylvania Dutch” comes from misunderstanding that “Deutsch” means “German” in German#language is fun#I think “okay” is my favorite though#“orl korrect” was a jokey way of saying “all correct”#that then got abbreviated to O.K.#then it got used in Van Buren's presidential campaign because his nickname was Old Kinderhook (OK is OK kind of thing)#and then became so prevalent that the word “okay” came in to use#so it's a misspelling that got abbreviated only to become it's own standard word

What are y'all's favorite minor DE characters? And I mean REALLY minor characters. Not like Trant or Titus, I want the real small characters who pop up once but still left an imprint on you.
I personally love the old lady on the radio, Yvonne. No idea why but I wanted to continue chatting with her. I hope she's having a nice day <3
Please feel free to add your own characters. I wanna hear all about the tiny background characters

Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".
