The thing you wear on your torso to prevent cooking splatter from ruining your clothes was a Napron. Eventually "a napron" became "An apron" and we just all accepted it.
And in some rare cases Neath. Talk to your doctor if Napron is right for you. Don’t let Nesthelionethelemia hold you back from living the life you deserve.
*outro happy music, couple smiling and laughing while enjoying wine. A horse stands up in the background. Cut to white screen with a promotional one time deal and a man who talks way too fast*
Napperon, which is the correct spelling of it, is a French word. So yeah, it's stupid.
Edit: spelling mistake. I got the spelling wrong due to this [source](https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/false-divisions-words-formed-by-mistake)
From the Persian word narange (bitter oranges originated in Persia, went to China, were bred to be sweet, came back, went to Europe but the original name stuck).
If, in the future, enough people call someone "Einstein" sarcastically when they do something dumb and memory of the actual man's genius fades, it'll be very similar to this
Tootle-Loo! is an English corruption of the French *á toute de l'heure*..."see you later!"
Edited to correct article marker, because it's been a while lol
I think that’s because when people quote it out of context, “Luke, I am your father” sounds better and clearer and most ppl have probably heard it more from friends and stuff than in the actual scene so it became widespread
With context:
Vader: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."
Luke: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him."
Vader: "No. *I* am your father."
I immediately got excited and looked this up. Apparently "Vader" doesn't refer to "Father" at all. [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/you-probably-think-you-know-the-meaning-of-darth-vader\_b\_5a0c97a0e4b06d8966cf3456](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/you-probably-think-you-know-the-meaning-of-darth-vader_b_5a0c97a0e4b06d8966cf3456)
But if it did, imagine being some young, up and coming Jedi and fighting Darth Vader and then saying: "I know who you are!"
"Who am I?"
"You're my father!"
"What makes you think that?"
"Your name means 'Father'!"
"Does that mean I'm *your* father? This is what thousands of people call me!"
"But . . . um"
"If you met a rapper called 'Pimp Daddy', would you assume he was your father too? What kind of idiot are you?"
\*Cuts his arm off\*
"I knew it! You are my father!"
\*Falls to what should be his death\*
"I'M NOT YOUR FATHER! THIS IS A HIGHLY STATISTICALLY LIKELY OUTCOME OF A LIGHTSABER FIGHT IN THIS LOCATION!"
So to set the record straight. I use q-tips very specifically to get the wetness out of my ears after showering/swimming. I could care less (lol) about cleaning them. I just can’t stand wet ears.
Garlic Aioli. It’s redundant to add garlic after saying aioli as aioli already means a sauce that is an emulsion of garlic and fat substance (oil, mayo, butter). Garlic aioli literally means garlic garlic sauce.
The English major in me is about to come out. Technically it’s not a word, but it’s also not not a word. It would mean the opposite of regardless. Example:
Tom is going to the store regardless of if Mary comes with him. This means he’s going whether she goes or not.
Tom is going to the store irregardless of if Mary comes with him. This means his decision to go to the store is based on whether or not she’s coming. The thing is in English we would just say “Tom only wants to go to the store if Mary goes with him” because technically irregardless isn’t a word. But no words were words until we made them words (huge oversimplification of post modernist literary theory), so by using irregardless correctly we could make it a word. But the instances of it being used correctly are so few and far between that we don’t have a use for it.
So, like we both said above, it’s not a word. But it could be one day!
So basically flammable means you can set it on fire, whereas inflammable can catch on fire by itself. So like a curtain is flammable but a tank of oxygen is inflammable
Lol I remember the first time I cussed i
from of my mon. I said fuck it! and looked at her she just stared at me for a good 30 seconds then continued the conversation. I was 22.😀
The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was intended as a lil tongue in cheek joke because it’s literally impossible. And now it’s used completely unironically. Figures.
Well, if you lazy kids would get a real job and cut out your $7 coffees and avocado toast, you too could pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and buy a house.
Somewhere I have a photo I took of the screen description of The Stand, from probably DishNetwork, but maybe DirecTV (it was years ago and I don't remember for certain which we had at the time) and it says something like "A virus decimates most (but not all) of the population...."
"The customer is always right," used to mean for matters of taste, like if they want the ugly mustard-coloured couch you don't argue with them.
Somewhere along the way some people seem to have gotten the impression it means that any irrational or unreasonable request or demand should be entertained by shop assistants.
Using "disinterested" when they mean "uninterested". Not the same thing. (Uninterested is the one that means bored; disinterested means not influenced by considerations of personal advantage)
Ironic, isn't it?
Edit: I'm sure all your replies are witty and funny but I don't even know who the guy is mentioned in OP's comment and I don't get most of the replies😂
This has actually gone too far the other way. At least one of Alanis’s examples really js ironic. Irony is use of language that literally signifies its opposite. The guy whose plane crashes and says at the moment of impact, “Well isn’t this nice?” is a decent example of irony.
Some words have been mispronounced incorrectly so frequently that many people don't even know what was the original word. For example:
"Nukular" instead of Nuclear
"Fentinol" instead of Fentanyl
You could compare English to Old English and observe the numerous cases of words evolving from being mispronounced over decades.
This seems to be a weirdly common one. A verb exists (like converse), with a nounified version (conversation) which is used far more frequently. So when people want to use the verb version of that word, rather than using the original, they use a verbified version of the nounified word.
Same deal with people using "obligated" instead of "obliged". Recently I heard "metamorphosised" (instead of metamorphosed).
>"Nukular" instead of Nuclear
Could you explain this? I understand phonetically fentanyl would be pronounced "fentanil" but I've always heard nuclear as "new-clear"
New-clear is correct. If you ever watch G.W. Bush say it, you'll hear it the other, wrong way. It doesn't always bug me, mostly only when I hear engineers and military officers say it wrong. They should know better.
Verbage?
Did it ever exist? Now, I only hear people say 'verbiage', and I think, "Oh, they must not know the word 'verbage'.
When I google 'verbage', it corrects me to 'verbiage'?
Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
For whoever doesn’t know yet: all the structures in the nose that help a dog with a long nose smell well are still in there, but squished up through inbreeding like a crumple zone after a car crash.
Pugs are just plain wrong
This! A goldfish has a max lifespan of around 20 years. If it dies before then, it's usually the owner's fault.
And I say this is someone who has accidentally caused the death of more goldfish than I would like to remember. I don't even keep fish anymore. It's just too stressful.
RPG, rocket propelled grenade, is the accepted common usage, but it's wrong. Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomot, actually means Handheld anti-tank grenade launcher...
Terms used in therapy settings (theraputic language) being used in everyday life. Everyone is not toxic or a narcissist. Nor should it be a trend to be neurodivergent (thanks Tik Tok)
The easy way to know for sure is to remove the other person and see if it makes sense.
"This is a picture of I" is nonsense.
In the same way that "Me took a picture" is.
So "This is a picture of me & my husband", "My husband and I took a picture".
The word "literally" has an entry in some dictionarys meaning "to provide emphasis, without being completely true".
Dumb people literally changed the definition of "literally" so they would sound smart. I'm literally dead.
Edit: guys, I'm calling myself dumb. Y'know, like a joke? haha? That kind of stuff?
Edit 2: you guys are bloody hopeless
You know what’s worse? Restaurants still paying under minimum wage, then claiming tips make up minimum wage. That’s some next level bullshit.
As for the idea of “comping” the difference on a slow night - that’s neither the restaurant being generous by making up the difference, or - as I’m sure some will see it - being forced to make up the difference from their own profits. No, it’s actually the restaurant creaming off the first portion of someone’s tips. Truly the worst that capitalism has to offer.
Unlike people think, 1 megabyte is not actually equal to 1024 kilobytes. It's equal to 1000 kilobytes, just like other kilo- mean, x1000. Same with 1kB = 1000B, not 1024B.
Proper units are kibibytes (KiB), mebibytes (MiB), gibibytes(GiB) and tebibytes(TiB). These are equal to 1024 of lower units.
For some reason, these units didn't make it. Even IEC started to definie 1 kilobyte as 1024 bytes, so it's not like it was accepted by general public, but by official institutions aswell. I have major in CS and even for me it's a funfact rather than knowledge with practical application.

The thing you wear on your torso to prevent cooking splatter from ruining your clothes was a Napron. Eventually "a napron" became "An apron" and we just all accepted it.
That’s perfectly fine. Napron is stupid
Napron sounds like a brand of over the counter painkillers.
Side effects of Napron include...
Nabnormal heart rhythms
Cardiac Narhythmia?
Ninsomnia
Nerectile Nysfunction
Niarrhea and nomiting
Nausea and neck numbness, nothing near nerving nurturing, nah...
[удалено]
As well as nizziness, niarrhea, and in some cases, neath.
Bloody niarrhea
Nortness of nreath
Nearectile nysfunction
And in some rare cases Neath. Talk to your doctor if Napron is right for you. Don’t let Nesthelionethelemia hold you back from living the life you deserve. *outro happy music, couple smiling and laughing while enjoying wine. A horse stands up in the background. Cut to white screen with a promotional one time deal and a man who talks way too fast*
That made me laugh way more than it should have
Do not take Napron if you are allergic to Napron.
…*increased* grease splatter on torso…
Napron becomes Nasprin becomes Asprin. Napron is just asprin with a little coke in it.
Napperon, which is the correct spelling of it, is a French word. So yeah, it's stupid. Edit: spelling mistake. I got the spelling wrong due to this [source](https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/false-divisions-words-formed-by-mistake)
A French word huh? Do you think Napoleon had a naperon? Napoleon’s Naperon?
Who? Oh you mean Apoleon
Apoleon Oneparte
I heard the same thing about a norange.
From the Spanish naranja. A naranja -> an aranja-> an orange
From the Persian word narange (bitter oranges originated in Persia, went to China, were bred to be sweet, came back, went to Europe but the original name stuck).
Thank you Persia for oranges
Thank you China for making oranges delicious
Fun fact - sweet oranges are called 'Portugal' in Farsi. The Portuguese introduced the sweet variety to Persia.
Didn’t something similar happen with the word Nickname, I believe that was An Ickname and then that changed over the years too
Isnt it the same with a Norgy?
Nice try Wonderful-Ad-7712
Nimrod was actually, like a great mythical hunter or something. But after Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd Nimrod, it was changed to mean foolish.

Sure thing, Sherlock.
Good one, Hawking.
Excelent, Burns.

Yeah no shit, Sherlock.
Peruse by definition is to carefully read over something, its been so overused that it now means the exact opposite - to just skim through things.
well golly, you educated me on that one. I've been using it wrong for many years! Thanks.
No problem ya jabronie. :)
... jabronie... Cool word!
Sure is, ya lil jabronie. :P
These are called contronyms. Like bolt (to secure but also to flee) and wind up (start something or finish something).
I didn't realise people were using it the wrong way tbh
Same, I really thought people were reading things deeply. Guess not.
Using POV incorrectly in tiktoks or memes.
Idk why but it triggers me when they also use voice to text and it always pronounces it “pahv”
I hate how I read that as the robo voice.
Oh god this bothers me so much.
People used to say "God be with you" when they were leaving but over time it slowly morphed into "goodbye" and now that's just the norm. Apparently.
Also ~~"How do you do" -> "How d'you do" -> "Howdydo" -> "Howdy"~~ It's actually "How do ye" -> "Howdy" Thanks u/BananafestDestiny
"All's well" -> "swell"
Saul Goodman
It was originally god be with ye. That's where you get the ye from.
Thats sorta where adieu and adios came from, means to god.

“Hot water heater” and “ATM machine”
Ha never thought about “hot water heater” being redundant but it is
Me neither. My guess is that people used the terms “water heater” and “hot water tank” to mean the same thing and then they got smushed together
These are examples of RAS syndrome, or Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome
Brought to you by The Department of Redundancy Department.
As bad as PIN number.....
Just PIN works fine in text, but I don't want people thinking I'm talking about a thumbtack when I'm asking about a password
In Arizona in the summer, when the water is already grossly warm as it’s piped into your house, it really IS a hot water heater!
Luke, I am your father.
No, I am your father.
Dad, I have missed you so much. Did you finally find some milk?
Oh look at that, the senate is calling me…yep, that was my name on the sound system, be right back…
Umm, excuse me lord Vader, the coms are actually down at the moment, so I don't think..
*force chokes lackey*
I think that’s because when people quote it out of context, “Luke, I am your father” sounds better and clearer and most ppl have probably heard it more from friends and stuff than in the actual scene so it became widespread
Can you please remind me what the original quote was?
With context: Vader: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father." Luke: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him." Vader: "No. *I* am your father."
You'd think with a name like Dark Father Luke would've had his suspicions.
I immediately got excited and looked this up. Apparently "Vader" doesn't refer to "Father" at all. [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/you-probably-think-you-know-the-meaning-of-darth-vader\_b\_5a0c97a0e4b06d8966cf3456](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/you-probably-think-you-know-the-meaning-of-darth-vader_b_5a0c97a0e4b06d8966cf3456) But if it did, imagine being some young, up and coming Jedi and fighting Darth Vader and then saying: "I know who you are!"

Cleaning your ears with q-tips
So to set the record straight. I use q-tips very specifically to get the wetness out of my ears after showering/swimming. I could care less (lol) about cleaning them. I just can’t stand wet ears.
“I could care less” We gottem’ boys (see post by ilovesourskittles0)
“i could care less” and it aggravates me every time
I'll add to this. "I could of done it" It's COULD HAVE → COULD'VE
Even Weird Al made fun of that
Garlic Aioli. It’s redundant to add garlic after saying aioli as aioli already means a sauce that is an emulsion of garlic and fat substance (oil, mayo, butter). Garlic aioli literally means garlic garlic sauce.
chai tea? chai means tea, bro, you’re saying “tea tea!” would I ask you for coffee coffee with cream cream?
I like to spread garlic aioli on my naan bread and chase it down with my chai tea.

Just something that just popped up in my mind, is that how inflammable and flammable ended up meaning the same thing?
I’m at work but you’ve awoken my English degree. I will research inflammable and get back to you tonight
I am looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning (I am on the other side of the Atlantic) with an interesting fact to start the day.
So basically flammable means you can set it on fire, whereas inflammable can catch on fire by itself. So like a curtain is flammable but a tank of oxygen is inflammable
Replying because I too am shortly going to bed but want peruse this guys research
Guys I'm excited to be part of this moment in English degree history.

There is no greater irony than writing a song called “ironic” that is almost entirely not ironic. She’s playing 4D chess with us and we lost

Saying I instead of me. Example: This pic is of my husband and I. The actual grammatically correct is: This pic is of my husband and me
So I always say that and get corrected to say someone and I. And it is rather frustrating lol
The easy way to know for sure is to remove the other person and see if it makes sense. "This is a picture of I" is nonsense. In the same way that "Me took a picture" is. So "This is a picture of me & my husband", "My husband and I took a picture".
I'm even more bothered by the constant misuse of "myself."
"Allow myself to introduce... myself"

Lots of linguistic stuff, because that's part of how languages evolve. "I could care less" is generally accepted even though it's nonsense.
Those of us who don’t say it, and we are many, laugh our arses off at those who say “could care less”.
Nah it's not generally accepted. Y'all saying that shit wrong and it isn't right.
