where can i get more fake slang origins like:
- we're called zoomers because of online school during covid
- it's called a johnson because LBJ used to whip his out in meetings
i want to start a collection..
@a Also, here's a collection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_false_etymologies_of_English_words
@mjd omgg thank you
@a It is my privilege to be able to assist you.
@a wait that first one is BS? where tf does it come from???
@spv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z#Terminology
supposedly via "generation z" x "boomer", which i can't verify but im confident it predates covid and widespread use of the zoom software
@a Are you only looking for "where can I get more" or are you interested in individual contributions?
If the latter, my (least) favorite is the claim that the female genitalia are called "pussy" after the French _poisson_ == “fish”.
