Gisnep

Is this a thing I'm not aware of, or just a very strange typo?

I'll give you the p, but in which world is that a G?

Oh, because things are not the things that they are.

Why not Malt?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Malt Disney, the good version of Walt.

Still looks more like a G than a D to me.

Ain't nothin' but a G thang

That makes no sense. Why would it be read mirrored?

ωal⅂ Әisnep

... or perhaps ⧢al7?

Lol i was one minute slower than you

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That 'y' has pissed me off since i was a child. I was always baffled as to why it was spelt Disnep but pronounced Disney, especially while learning digraphs at school and it didnt fit in with any of the sounds the letter combinations were supposed to make.

Well, that's what their logo says, I don't know what to tell you

Funny, i know the answer because i just recently ran into that meme. Simple meme about how Walt Disney's trademark signature looks like "Gisnep", . I get the "p" part, and i guess the "D" does looks like a backwards "G".

Thank you, I knew I must have been missing something. I can see the P, but the G makes no sense to me. Walp Disnep.

Same here when writing cursive, but Walt's D still doesn't look anything like that to me.

[–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

It’s pretty similar to a hasty cursive g

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd wager they meant Walt Disney.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Indeed, but it was spelled that way deliberately.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I see it now! Thanks for the nudge.
