My hip new communications theory is actually that millennial/gen z/internet native humor is so weird and abstract because of the sheer amount of words we’re exposed to daily. we’ve heard a lot of words in a lot of different orders so if you wanna get a reaction out of us you usually gotta put words in an order we haven’t seen before
So like normally structured jokes aren’t as funny anymore but “lemon lime spine” is a one-hit K.O.
((If I see a picture of a cat, I either think about how cute it is or something, or I think about Roth being in the situation of said cat in said picture
Roth is a memetichazard….. or is it cognito.. idefk. Honestly.
The word “moist” is the Number One universally reviled word in the English language due to both its definition and the way it sounds. Similarly gross words include
chunks
curdling
squirt
munch
bulbous
pustule
sink
squirm
slippery
Which got me wondering, can I elicit the same emotions with words that have no meaning? And the answer is “Yes, yes you definitely can.”
So here it is: words and phrases that elicit “thanks, i hate it!” by sheer negative sonority
scrungo
beesechurger
mingus
hurgling
tungus
Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus
slurm
chungus
crungle
gunch
But did you know you can make it even worse by combining them??
I hate this. I fucking hate this. This is essentially a fucking hieroglyphic. I see that picture and I immediately hear a combination of sounds in my head with a very specific and comprehendable meaning. Like, I hear it. It’s not even a fucking video, its a still fucking picture but I hear it and know exactly what the OP was trying to convey because this picture has a word inherently attached to it
Anyway that’s not what hieroglyphics are. Egyptian hieroglyphics were letters they were just fancy letters
So whatever this person is talking about they can’t even be a nerd correctly
The thing about this is that sculptures like these in art history were for the male gaze. Photoshop a phone to it and suddenly she’s seen as vain and conceited. That’s why I’m 100% for selfie culture because apparently men can gawk at women but when we realize how beautiful we are we’re suddenly full of ourselves…
“You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.” ― John Berger, Ways of Seeing
I know I’ve reblogged this before but it’s so important.
