<slereah-work> hey Cev
<Cev> mm
<slereah-work> What's up
<Cev> sky
<slereah-work> Not wrong
<slereah-work> unless you're in space
<slereah-work> in which case it may be down
<Isambri> is the sky falling, in your region?
<Isambri> chemtrails, maybe?
<Isambri> flying pigs?
<Karch> flying birds?
<slereah-work> Falling sky is an old French tradition
<Isambri> as you can read in Asterix
<Isambri> https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_ciel_lui_tombe_sur_la_t%C3%AAte

<dhok> and today we were reminded that
<dhok> while [kɔ̃] is the regular *portuguese* reflex of Latin *cum 'with'
<dhok> it is the regular *french* reflex of *cunnus 'vagina'
<dhok> whoooooops
<slereah-work> with vagina
<Isambri> CUM_CUNNUS
<dhok> i ordered a bagel vagina cream cheese
<Isambri> slurp
<Isambri> Lat. vagina gave Cat. beina "sheath, scabbard"
<Isambri> from an older baina (a stressed), from baína (i stressed)
<Isambri> 'scabbard: sheath for large blades'
<Isambri> *malicious-perv smile*
<Karch> after all Czech "pochva" means "blade sheath, vagina"

<Whimemsz> also I see Zompist has a new language out
<Whimemsz> "A scattering of words derives from Hindī, e.g. wala ‘person’." Just call it "Hindi" in English, Zompist, ffs
<Cev> I am offended on behalf of the people of भारत that Zompist didn't write that out in devanagari.
<Cev> Fucking colonizing mleccha!
<Whimemsz> repulsive
<Isambri> well, if that isn't cultural appropriation I don't know what it is
<Isambri> I mean, we shouldn't write such names in their original scripts. In fact neither the transliterated names in the Roman alphabet.
<Isambri> Nor the adapted (anglicised) versions of those names.
<Cev> izambri is right
<Cev> this is that "copenhagen interpretation" again
<Isambri> We should create a completely new set of names (toponyms and demonyms) to refer to foreign peoples, specially former colonies and native peoples
<Isambri> like PIE peoples not referring to bears and wolves with their real names
<Isambri> because, you know, sacred and scary shit
<guitarplayer> honeyeaters
<Isambri> that's a nice one, thank you
<Whimemsz> more creative than "brown"
<Whimemsz> at least

<Cev> there
<Cev> new blog post
<Cev> i hate it
<Whimemsz> I'll read it anyway
<Cev> Thanks Mom

<Cev> Actually nvm.
<Cev> I don't want to feed the balrog.

<Tanaphor> the balrog
<Tanaphor> is it pthag
<pthag> i am come
<Cev> Yes.
<Tanaphor> Sorry pthag
<Ser> pthag is become the fiend
<Tanaphor> no food today
*CUM_SIURAN throws pthag some balrog-food*
<Tanaphor> He am become death, destroyer of worlds
<pthag> wizards
<Cev> War am bad.
<pthag> cev are u using me as a superego again
<Isambri> *pthag confirmed for balrog*

<Isambri> we need to sistematize it
<CUM_SIURAN> *systematize
<Isambri> *sistematitzise, actually
<Cev> Isambri teach me how to speak Catalan.
<Tanaphor> Please Cev
<Cev> How do you say "Hello my name is Cev"?
<Isambri> Cev, just say "lalalalrlrlrlrlrrlalalala"
<Tanaphor> It's hard enough to get Isambri to shut up about Catalan when nobodt asks
<Cev> What a beautiful language :')
<Isambri> the l's always dark. and you get it
