For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Larruping is a perfect cromulent word.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

transitive verb:

  • To beat, flog, or thrash.
  • To beat or flog soundly.

TIL!

I feel embiggened.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, larruping. Obviously.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

See, that's what sold me. So many playing cards get this part wrong.

Can't get enough of the stuff.

Something about the paragraph sense always has me coming back

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey I think we have the same picture. Unless I'm confusing a different account, but I have certainly used that picture somewhere.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, so I guess all potatoes look alike to you!?

I actually only changed it recently by Googling "potato" and clicking the first, best potato I saw. So you're surely right.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Hey, they're the same variety!

And obviously not the same exact potato, although I have that one on my laptop. And similar on my desktop. And my reddit profile is a different but also similar potato.

I'm just a big fan of potatoes.

"Chirmany" just sounds like "Germany" said with a German accent. So it's like, even more German. Cherman.

yes I know they say Deutschland no one needs to say it

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't Germans say Deutschland, though?

[–] Findus_Falke@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ja, aber zometymes we zpeik forren längwedge

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I'd argue that "Chirmany" sounds like a person from New Zealand talking about Germany

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago

I think they call it Deutschland in German.

I love Chinglish and this is a great example.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For those that might not know, engrish.com still exists.

Many class hours wasted in high school on this site. ratemypoo.com was also incredible to 15 yr old me.

[–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

wow. a ratemypoo drop in 2026

[–] wizblizz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Larruping is the new gooning

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Honestly, I wonder how well they fan... with a description like that, I expect great things on par with artisan cardistry decks

I don't understand the word they're even going for.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

That's where they gave up pretending to know English.

My favorite Chinglish example is on a brand of earbuds that I use every day. They're actually great.

FWIW Blon BL03 punches well above its weight class

[–] tuckerm@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

I have the BL-A8 Prometheus, but I've heard good things about the BL03s.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

The trusty BLONs

It's the worldly best and you know it

"flatness and folder-proof". Is literally bent in the picture.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yes, but you will sure as hell not be able to put it in a folder

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Ah, damn it, you are right. I've been bamboozled.
