That's a myth. What uneducated moron put this sign up?

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Probably one just making a joke. If you look up, you'll see it flying way above your head.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 1 points 10 hours ago

It's a pretty popular etymology myth, not a joke.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is it going over their head? It’s just a fake story.

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't that what jokes are? Made up stuff that's amusing to some people.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago

Yes, that is what jokes are. You have a keen grasp on the human concept of humor.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

To be specific, it's a prank. It's designed to fool the gullible and make them feel stupid when they find out the truth

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm so angry after seeing this post (which is OBVIOUSLY full of FALSE information 😠) that I'm gonna look up sources and cite them in the shit posting community so everyone knows I'm smarter than them and totally understand what's happening

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago
