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”.
This stupid stupid programming language is trying my patience lol... everything about it seems designed to be as incomprehensible and inconvenient as possible!!!
Realizing so many people just fully do not realize that Hozier's music is deeply political is so insane to me. His newly released deleted track from Wasteland, Baby (which is excellent) has multiple people in the comments talking about it as like. A breakup song. And dear GOD is that seriously all ppl are getting from it??? I feel like I'm going insane.
