What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care.
Same with astronomy and astrology. "I'm interested in astronomy."
- "ah cool! Me too! My zodiac sign is [who cares].
Bugger means to have anal sex between two men
between two men
lacks ambition
Everything is an innuendo if your mind is in the gutter.
You sound like my wife.
I feel sorry for her...
Because she has to be married to me? So do I.
There are also people who can't distinguish between entomology and enterology.
Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.
@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.
It actually is,
enterology (English) -> entero- (Latin prefix) -> ἔντερον (Greek) -> h₁énteros (PIE) -> intrō (Latin) -> enter (English)
Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn't count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.
Or endocrinology and endoscopy
"I'm going to see my endo! 🤗" "Wut 😳"
The study of entology!
dyslexics: :(
Sexydlics
The quality of that picture copied and compressed time and time again is fitting the age of that joke.
And don't get me started on ethnology.
Entomon and insect both come from 'cut'
Oh. So that's the same tom as in atom.
First time I've heard or read the word "entomology"
Well that's epistemological ephemera for ya
