    It’s like English was built for him to make fun of.

    Knowing Ismo a little, I am honestly disappointed there were no sausages in the trunk.

      He's from LA. People in San Francisco have sausages in the trunk.

      How do you know? Maybe there was. How long do you think they last in Ismo's hands? :)
      He opened the trunk, saw the sausages, went quiet for a while, and the sausages were gone.
      Maybe he was thinking which word tricks he coukd do about the contains of the box, maybe he did a magic trick.
      - but the sausages disppeared for some reason. Maybe they evaporated when he opened the trunk.

      Of course there were no sausages in the trunk... He's a vegan, who occasionally eats lots of sausages. That's why they're not in the trunk: he's eaten them!

    He missed the opportunity to call the trunk a "chest" and tie that back to the human body :)

    Booting a computer comes from bootstrapping, which comes from the actual boot, pulling yourself up from the bootstraps.

    Well played Merriam Webster! I wondered why I was subscribed to your channel and I was ready to leave the building... Then I watched the content featuring Ismo
    I'm still subscribed and, somehow, I feel smarter ;)

    To BOOT a computer is to Start it. Restart of a computer is REBOOT.

    • @HeadHunterSix
      @HeadHunterSix 2 роки тому

      Rebooting means "to boot again", not that we should have to explain that to someone watching a Merriam-Webster video of course. So rebooting is, by definition, booting. Don't take my word for it...

  • @racefrazier7998
    @racefrazier7998 5 років тому +8

    A "butt dial" means you accidentally called them on the phone, A "booty call" mean, to call a "friend with benefits" and well.... you know do things.

    One day, when humans get sick of being separated by a common language, we will invent a new language, and in that language every single word will be unique, and no word will ever have a second meaning. And in this way, we will finally learn to communicate with each other properly.
    I am absolutely positive this will happen eventually, and there is precedent: King Sejong of Korea invented modern Korean and hangul, all by himself!
    And he did an amazing job, too!

    Make Finland great again. So pathetic to see a Finn paying a tribute to English as if there was no one else to do that in the UK or in the US&A
