Theres A Theory That Early Europeans Started Saying Brown One Or Honey-eater Instead Of Bear To Avoid

There’s a theory that early Europeans started saying “brown one” or “honey-eater” instead of “bear” to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa “the faceless woman” because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber

English has an avoidance register used in the presence of certain respected animals, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s spelling out w-a-l-k and t-r-e-a-t in front of the dog.

I choked on air.

I thought these were PLUSHIES. How does a real animal look like it’s ADORABLY CROCHETED?

Today I learned about the Valais Blacknose sheep. I think I’m dead of cute.

God bless us, every one! 

OOOOOOOOOO.
