One of my favourite bits of linguistic trivia is that in Ancient Greek, the word ἰχώρ (cognate to the modern English "ichor") is attested in extant literature to mean both "the bodily fluid which gods possess instead of blood", and also "gravy", which implies several things about Ancient Greek culinary culture's attitude toward gravy.

English and Italian languages

Dante Alighieri English and Italian languages, an article that shows the reciprocal influences and contaminations between the two idioms, with a particular focus on the Italian language and culture. The Italian language is truly "infested" with English words, which have now entered common use. But even staunch "purists" should remember that 60% of the Anglo-Saxon language has its origins on this side of the Alps. Very often we hear Italians lamenting about the great number of English words in their vocabulary. Many people don't like the mass media's insistence on using such words as bestseller, look, personal and lotion , and they often ridicule their elitist friends when they hear them attempting to pronounce the latest "in" English words. In England one reads the same story in letters to The Times and The Telegraph , denouncing foreign words and expressions, particularly "A-mericanisms," as intrusions on the purity of the English language. People who make such criticisms should realise, however, that one of the reasons why English is so rich in vocabulary is because it has borrowed so many words from other languages. An Italian using the words yacht, bungalow and robot might well be forgiven for thinking that these words are English, when their true origins are in fact Dutch, Hindi and Czechoslovakian. Many words which Italian has borrowed from English are of Latin origin: camping, design, dispenser, leasing, privacy, schedule, sport and jeans are corruptions of campus, signum, pendo, laxus, privo, scedo, porto and Janua (Genoa) respectively. It was not, however, Genoa's own Christopher Columbus who brought jeans to the shores of the New World; rather, it was Levi Strauss.

Italian town Rome The first invasion of England, after the Celts had settled there, was indeed by the Latin-speaking Romans. Yet their linguistic influence was small and was limited to place names, e.g. Manchester (Latin castra). There was a stronger Latin influence when Christianity arrived under the auspices of St. Augustine in 597 A.D.: a host of Latin ecclesiastical words were introduced and the majority of religious words in English have Latin roots. Later, after the Norman Conquest of 1066, the originally Anglo-Saxon language had to withstand 300 years of French rule and take third place to French (the language of administration) and Latin (the language of the church). Probably the greatest Italian influence came with the Renaissance, during which the enthusiastic English borrowed as many Italian, Latin and Greek words as they could lay their hands on. In Shakespeare's day, for example, Signior was a common term of address in England. In this period Italy was a major center of culture, art, and learning. Many English writers and scholars, such as Geoffrey Chaucer and John Milton, were influenced by Italian literature, philosophy, and art. They often borrowed words and ideas from Italian works, which contributed to the enrichment of the English language. The English scholars and authors so discovered the great Italian literature, particularly the works of Dante Alighieri (author of "The Divine Comedy"), Petrarch, and Boccaccio, had a profound impact on English literature. Translations and adaptations of these works introduced Italian words and expressions into English. For example, the word "sonnet" comes from the Italian "sonetto." So, the Italian language and culture have had a significant influence on the English language over the centuries. This influence can be traced back to various historical, cultural, and linguistic interactions. Here are some key ways in which Italian has impacted English. We can think of Musical and Art Terminology for instance. Italian has been the language of classical music and art for centuries. Terms like "allegro," "fortissimo," "soprano," "piano," and "crescendo" are just a few examples of Italian words used in music notation and art descriptions. We can also refer to scientific and medical terms. Italian has also contributed to English in the fields of science and medicine. For instance, the word "quarantine" comes from the Italian "quarantina," referring to a 40-day isolation period during the Black Death. Additionally, various anatomical terms, like "femur" and "cornea," have Italian origins.

Italian art and style Then we have the influence on art and architecture: Italian art and architecture styles, such as Renaissance and Baroque, have influenced English architecture and design. This influence is evident in the design of buildings, sculptures, and paintings. Italy has also left its mark on English through geographical names. The names of Italian cities and regions, such as Venice, Florence, Tuscany, and Sicily, have been adopted into English. Furthermore we must not forget the world of fashion and esign, in fact Italy is known for its fashion and design industries, and many Italian fashion brands and design concepts have made their way into English terminology. Words like "couture," "prêt-à-porter," and "fashionista" are examples of Italian fashion-related terms used in English. If you read through an English dictionary you will find hubdreds of Italian words. Amongst the more general are: fiasco, graffiti, gusto, imbroglio, mafia, influenza (or "flu") and stiletto; from architecture and art come fresco, loggia and chiaroscuro; from music we have adagio, opera and pianoforte ; and more recently there has been a deluge of culinary words such as broccoli, espresso, lasagna, ravioli, spaghetti and, of course, pizza. The story is told of the little American boy who saw a pizzeria on his first trip to Italy and exclaimed: "Look Daddy! They have pizzas in Italy too!" This just goes to illustrate how quickly foreign words are absorbed into a language, so that they soon seem to belong at that language. Italian cuisine therefore has had a substantial influence on English culinary vocabulary. Words like "pasta," "pizza," "espresso," "cappuccino," and "lasagna" are widely used in English to describe Italian dishes and beverages. Try telling the average English person that very "English" sounding words like attack, cash and racket have Italian roots and he probably won't believe you. Having absorbed so many foreign words, it is only natural that English, now spoken by nearly 450 million people as a first language, should begin to exert its own influence on other languages. Beyond specific words, Italian has also influenced English grammar and syntax to some extent. For instance, the use of the definite article "the" in English was influenced by Italian usage. It's important to note that while Italian has influenced English in various ways, English has also influenced Italian, especially in the realm of technology, business, and modern terminology. Language is continually evolving through cultural exchange, and the Italian-English linguistic connection is a testament to the rich tapestry of language development.

Italian fashion and style Italian has taken over English words in four main ways. First, there is the direct borrowing of words to describe an object or idea for which there was no existing equivalent: club, disc-jockey, flash, hi-fi, know-how, punk, stuntman, test etc. Second, there is the adoption of an English word with an Italianisation of the spelling. This is generally a positive thing to do as it helps to indicate the new word's pronunciation: the best examples of this are bistecca, boicottare, dribblare, gol, rosbif, sniffare and to-stare. Third, there is the borrowing of a word from English with the subsequent translation into Italian: grattacielo (sky-scraper), guerra fredda (cold war), lavaggio del cervello (brainwashing) and pagine gialle (yellow pages). Lastly there is the tendency to take words from English and use them in a totally different context: golf is only a game in English, pullmans are special trains and spiders are merely insects. On the whole then, Italians should not regret the presence of English/American words in their vocabulary. The benefits to English from Latin words have been considerable. They have undoubtedly helped to create one of the most expressive languages in the world, giving it an enormous choice of words with subtle shades of meaning, from the warm, colloquial, down to earth Anglo-Saxon elements (hug, childish, luck) to the more refined Latin ones (embrace, juvenile, fortune). A language needs to grow and it must adapt to changes. If events dictate that English/American is becoming the international language of the future (of commerce, cinema, music, science, sport and technology), Italians can at least console themselves with the fact that English is already full of Italian words and they should welcome, within reason, English words adopted by their own language.

This was a ride.

Lmao this American girl walked up to a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) register with her drink and really, really loudly (I was at the other side of the place) proclaimed: “I asked for Lemonade, you gave me Sprite” in a really bitchy, entitled voice.

The cashier (and everyone within earshot) just looked at her like “the fuck is wrong with you”

In Australia, Sprite IS lemonade as far as we’re concerned.

Enjoy your 90c refund you cheap ass ho.

My hcs for mystreet people's jobs!

Aphmau has a night time security job as of season one, but in season 3 she actually works as a business advisor (A nod to how Jess went to college for business.)

Nana has been trained as a culinary chef and after angels fall she actually starts working back of house instead of waitressing in the maid cafe.

Zane, Garroth, and Vylad, are heiresses enough said.

Travis is an improv actor at night and during the day is a bartender.

Aaron works as a programmer, which allows him to work from home most days. (House husband Aaron canon frfr)

Dante is absurdly high up in the chain of command in his boring office job. He does not in fact know what exactly he does.

Katelyn aside from waitressing as a side hustle, also is a professional fitness advisor and is working on her law degree. (A nod to how she was part of the jury of nine in MCD)

Maria is a rival fitness coach of Katelyn, one of them is slightly more professional than the other. (Katelyn put up posters for advertisement once, and Maria bought a whole build board. (she is still in debt from it))

Dottie runs a Ross dress for less like it's the Navy. She has in fact fired Daniel and Ryland on more than one occasion.

Blaze is a professor in ancient werewolf linguistics, because of course he is.

Laurence was a minor league Soccer player until he got an injury during S2 (hence why he wasn't at love~love paradise) After wards he works in the maid cafe.

Kim is a barista at Starbucks and has cried on the job on a weekly basis, everyone in town has probably gotten a latte with 2% of unethically sourced Kim tears™. HOWEVER after acquiring Ghost, Ghost threw a particularly complex order the temperature of lava at a customers car, so they now run a library.

Sylvana worked as a realtor during Aphmau's childhood, but nowadays owns a gym where Derek trains at for his professional wrestling matches.

And finally, after getting fired from Ross dress for less, Daniel used his nepo baby skills to become a receptionist at his mom's clinic.

"It would make sense that the person who owns or manages a restaurant would be known as a “restauranter” or “restauranteur.” But, neither of those are correct. The proper spelling is restaurateur. "

Just asking, uhh, how many subjects seem to be in nrc? because it seems like a lot but at the same time is like no one talks about it (or maybe I'm just a little bit crazy about this nonsense...)

We don't have an exact number of subjects offered at NRC. However, I'd imagine that NRC offers a wide selection so that students can choose to study or specialize in the kinds of magic they are most interested in. Judging by the generous spread of industries mentioned in book 7 for fourth year internships, it'd make sense that NRC would have many courses to prepare students for various career paths after graduation. The subjects are not usually mentioned in main stories and events (where the bulk of dialogue would be), as academics are (ironically) not that relevant to the plot. In fact, it's actually in the vignettes where we often hear about the more obscure subjects, hear clarification on what certain classes involve, and other details.

The subjects we explicitly know about right now are:

Alchemy

Ancient Curses or Incantations/Ancient Magic

Animal Linguistics (it's not clear if this is separated by animal type such as Cat or Mouse being in separate variants of this subject)

Art (as in, visual arts)

Astrology

Abbreviated Spellcasting in Ancient and Modern Magic: Changes and Comparisons (an elective; have to choose between this or Poison Refining)

Biology (might be considered part of the magic science courses rather than biology being its own class)

Chemistry (might be considered part of the Potions courses rather than chemistry being its own class)

Defense Magic/Protection

Flying/Flight (might be considered a part of P.E.)

History of Magic (implied to be taught in segments; there is History of Magic I for first years, History of Magic II which covers new material for second years, etc.)

Magical Analysis/Enigmics

Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles (an elective)

Mathematics (not specified; not sure if this is its own separate course or if it is just integrated into other coursework)

Music/Musicology

P.E./Physical Education

Poison Making/Poison Refining (an elective; have to choose between this or Abbreviated Spellcasting in Ancient and Modern Magic: Changes and Comparisons)

Potions or Magical Pharmacology/Potionology

Practical Magic

Summoning

Swimming (might be considered part of P.E.)

Technomantic Engineering/Magic Energy Engineering

Perfect linguistic/culinary co-evolution of Germanic and Turkic peoples in which one party has an ancient god named Donar, after whom they name their Thursday, and the other party creates Döner, the most delicious thing on the planet, which I can now buy for cheap every week. Because it's Dönerstag. Peace and love

Words mean things. This is unquestionable, incontrovertible, uncontroversial. Words mean things, or what’s the point in having words? They may mean different things in different languages, but when people are speaking the same language, they should be able to comfortably assume they’re understanding one another. That the words they use, identical and clear, should mean the same things.

Enter Geoff.

Geoff, who will be happy to offer you a delicious treat, still steaming and warm from the oven, soft as a promise, enchanting as a sigh…if you’re only willing to call it by the proper name. Thank Geoff for the biscuit, get showered in sugary joy. Thank Geoff for the cookie, find yourself unfed and uncontented. Because some gods are very regional in their delights. Some gods exist within the lee of a single meaning.

Some gods hold no truck with blue fuzzy monsters, and don’t understand why anyone would choose to do so. “Biscuit is a satisfying word,” says Geoff.  “It has snap and crunch. It feels delicious in the mouth. What is ‘cookie’? ‘Cookie’ is mush, it’s mostly vowels, the consonants it has are all doing the same job, it’s a lazy word. Leave it be, and come and have a biscuit with someone who knows what they’re talking about.”

Geoff is always glad to offer you a biscuit. Just not a hot, fluffy, buttermilk one. Those are for other gods and other hands, and less complicated culinary linguistic climes.

Warning: Cringe Sebek moment (we go to the Malleus church every weekend to sing him praises)

Although I, and a lot of people in the fandom really, like exaggerating Malleus as this lovable idiot who fucks up basically everything he does because of his lack of common sense, I looked through NRC's courses and am 90% sure he's their batch valedictorian. And that probability is being modest because his GloMas vignette shows us he's very strict at making sure he does everything perfectly.

Alchemy, Ancient Magic, Animal Linguistics, Art, Astrology, Abbreviated Spellcasting in Ancient and Modern Magic, Chemistry, Culinary Crucible, Defensive Magic, Flight, History of Magic, Enigmics, Musicology, P.E., Poison Refining, Potionology, Practical Magic, and Summoning.

Most of the above are subjects the game doesn't forget to remind us that he's great at, which isn't surprising as he's both a genius and an extremely hard worker. Top it off with genuine curiosity and openness to criticism, and we have the perfect student. Even his random school lines are arrogant wherein he says he doesn't even need to look at textbooks to ace a subject. The only subjects I could see that others would be better than him at are: a) Chemistry because he doesn't seem to care much about science; b) Animal Linguistics as I've never seen him converse with animals? But maybe a dragon has a bit of affinity with talking to them?; c) Culinary Crucible, but this is an elective and one he performed decently at; and d) Flight, because he admits that Lilia is better than him at this. Maybe Art could be listed here as his tastes are rather... unconventional, but I think any competent Art professor could evaluate his particular hyperfixations as truly works of art and passion lol.

The only way he wouldn't be the top student is if his idiotic zero-common-sense flaw takes over his life and he doesn't show up to exams. Which isn't unlikely, tbh. Anyway that doesn't take from the fact that he's extremely, extremely capable, and I find the dichotomy of his raw intelligence versus absolute lack of wisdom to be very interesting.
