that chilling feeling when you find out that words from your language are being used abroad casually as slang in strange ways o_0
#for once anglophones can relate to this Altho i imagine the feeling is not the same as people like me#from countries with high rates of immigration Like as in immigrating from here to elsewhere#are any of you here turkish or romanian or even rromani who speak the language ETC ETC* do U also Know This Feel...#it was so scary to find out how some belgians speak years back because french people are so NOT similar#i was like OMGG How & What do you know about all that O_o ?!!! WHAT THA HELL. but then i Remembered. & it keeps happening#*like because sometimes on wikipedia i find out that certain words & terms are originally from those countries in particular#aside from arabic Which like obviously i can tell when that is the case ( but sometimes the telephone game goes too far & i get surprised )#in different languages BTW i like to look up random countries' slang ( also etymology in general ) even if i do not speak the language
