Les mots

Never underestimate the ability words have to:

hurt;

inspire;

perpetuate lies;

fulfil fantasies;

breathe life into subjective perceptions;

and haunt the halls of your mind.

Love:

Something that starts in heaven, and ends up as a relationship status on Facebook.

Dear believer

Your writing is so pompous.

Fuck you.

I don’t need to use big words to sound cool.

Fuck you.

If we use too many words, the meaning will be lost, and fall into the depths of ambiguity until we are forced to fish them from the deep sea of monotony and equivocality, and all that shit.

Your writing is so pompous.

Fuck you.

Fun fact of the day

The Dutch word for dull or boring is ‘saai’, which is pronounced like the English ‘sigh’.

Etymology of the day

Word: Noon

From Old English non which means “3 o’clock p.m.”, also “the hour of nones”. From Latin nona hora - ninth hour of daylight, which Romans thought to be about 3 p.m. The meaning shift to 12 p.m. came in the middle of the 1100s when the time of Church prayers shifted from the ninth hour to the sixth, and the time of the midday meal was likewise changed.
