Also, "collège" doesn't mean college but middle school. Graduate school is fac, short for faculté (faculty). Oh yeah, and it's pronounced fuck. NB: shit I forgot an i! It's librairie, actually.

To travel and French travailler 'to work' are notorious false friends. However, they're real cognates, as they stem from the same word: Old French travaillier, which meant 'to toil'. Both labour and travel involved toiling. Travaillier itself had a more sinister origin; see the image for more.

Betrayal

I was going to make this a fun post, but then I discovered that there are Dagur gifs on here and...yeah, that light topic didn't happen. So, here goes a little sad something.

I think these frames of animation are very interesting. Actually, this entire scene is to me. It's in "The Night and the Fury" and is right after Dagur learns that Hiccup lied. I love how this occurred because it would have been so easy to just have him be like, "You have dragons? Okay, now I'm about to kill you." They didn't do that, though. Even as Dagur is connecting the dots, he harps on the fact that a lie was told. "Your father lied to me...YOU lied to me!" If you go back to Dagur's threat from "Twinsanity," he never even said that he'd attack Berk if they had dragons. He specifically said he would if he found out they did after they denied it. Technically speaking, Dagur could have attacked immediately if he wanted to, but he still had the intention of keeping the peace. These expressions in the gif are right after he says, "You could've been my brother, Hiccup. Now, you're my enemy." When he says this, he actually sounds sad. His expressions match that. Dagur, Mr. Gets Angry At The Drop Of A Helmet didn't immediately respond with rage. He's hurt and I think I know why.

Dagur doesn't perceive things like other Vikings to put it lightly. When he has his first episode, he's talking about how he and Hiccup had great laughs after he tries to drown the poor Berkian. He calls Hiccup his old friend when they see each other again in the episode with the gif. I think he genuinely believes this. For the strange things Dagur does, he doesn't see it. So, it's not just someone lying to him, it's his best, his ONLY friend lying to him and making him looking like a cool in front of his tribe. That's why he sounds sad instead of angry. That's why he has to look away and think through what his next move is. Yes, he attacks, but what are his options?

Hiccup doesn't give him any more time to think. He tries to leave with Toothless, so Dagur has to act then. Regarding his options, they all are bleak. If he attacks, then you have war and what we got. The alternative is that he doesn't then, right? Well, that's not great either. As soon as he gets back to his ship, one of the Berserkers says that he wants to kill Hiccup himself. Dagur has to make it clear that no one besides himself will go after Hiccup. This shows how the Berserkers really can be vengeful. They're not even an aggressive group (as shown in "Something Rotten on Berserker Island"), but they have tempers. So, if Dagur holds onto the friendship that he just realized didn't exist, he has to go back with his tail between his legs and admit not only that he was played, but that he doesn't want to do anything about it.

Dagur already was worried that no one would respect him as chief. They never would if they found out he was tricked and didn't even want to get revenge for it. He would be the young chief who was too foolish to see through lies and too weak to defend his people in case the liar decided to lie again and actually attack. So, yes, Dagur attacked. Was it a mistake? Oh most definitely. He could've caused the deaths of many people and was arrested for this. So, I'm not saying that Dagur is in the right for his war, but I'm saying that I don't think it's a black and white as the show tried to portray. We see it from Hiccup's perspective with Dagur being this wild kid who just likes killing. Dagur's so much more than just some angry or deranged Viking. I just wish we got to see more of his side of things.

Staying with the topic of different yet similar is this “false friends” lesson!

In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that looks or sounds similar to a word in a given language, but differs significantly in meaning.

Today’s false friends are Hebrew & Polish. Do you know of any other Hebrew false friend words?

SHTF: Beware of the Trojan Horse

This post came to mind when I started re-watching "The Last Ship" television series. "The Last Ship is an American action-drama television series, loosely based on the 1988 novel of the same name by William Brinkley. The series premiered on TNT on June 22, 2014, and concluded after five seasons on November 11, 2018.

After a global viral pandemic wipes out over 80% of the world's population, the 218-person crew of an unaffected U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151), must try to find a cure and save humanity." [WikiPedia]

In the last Episode [10] of Season 1, the ship and millions of displaced and ravaged people flock to "Olympia" (Baltimore, MD), lured by the promises of a vaccine and sanctuary. Little do they initially know is that the "vaccine" kills and the dead bodies are used to fuel Baltimore's power requirements. Sound a little familiar?

This is an example of why it is so important to be prepare and self-sufficient. Those who are not prepared or those who will take advantage of the unprepared (unarmed and helpless) will use any means necessary to get what they need by coercion or force.

When the SHTF, not all will be benevolent. Government may be the worst of all but many will take advantage of the situation to get what they want. Beware of those who promise the world but want MUCH more in return; the wolves in sheep clothing. Their inviting, and kind, actions may not be so beneficial to you.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Don't be one of the unarmed and helpless.
