John Carvalho Here's your answer: It's fake and you found the holes in it. Michael put a deliberate fake fact in the video as a nod to the practise of putting fake facts or words in something as a way to trap copiers he mentioned in the video.
That would make sense, but languages don't work that way. English decided to take a lot of suffixes from the vikings, but words used too often never got the change. This is why we have 'rabbitS', 'cowS', and 'oxEN', and why first, second, and third are all different, but everything after that ends with 'th'. English started out as one of those weird tribal languages with way too many rules, and has been fighting against the streamlining process ever since.
Though quite a few weird things in English have to do with Vikings, "third" probably isn't one of them. It comes from Old English _thridda_ (or _þridda_), which is roughly equivalent to "threeth", but along the way the _i_ and the _r_ got switched around (something linguists call "metathesis") making into "third". Interestingly (if you're the type to find historical linguistics interesting), the same thing happened with "bird", which was _bridd_ in Old English. (The same thing happened with "burn" and "burst" among other words.) Also interestingly (again, ymmv), these words are just part of a whole pattern of such metatheses which generally began in the Northumbrian dialect of Old English and worked their way south until they became part of the standard language. (So, it is possible that the metathesis was somehow related to Viking influences, taking us full circle...)

1:58 Yes, borange is a word. It's a term used to describe a celebration where people enjoy commitment without being married. The term was coined by someone who noticed that there was no word in the English language that rhymed with "orange". Borange Meaning A celebration where people enjoy commitment without being married How it works People stay boranged as long as they want, and can end the relationship by saying "We're durpled!" -google ai, I also saw this word when I was younger
In german we have "Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach". It loses some fun in translation but its still funny: "when flies fly behind flies, then flies fly after flies" I love this video :)
Oh, of course! Because in German all nouns have capitals, and the word for the noun fly is the same as the verb flies! It does kinda lose it's flare in English though...
@@LulfsBloodbag yeah, but even if you dont capitalize, everyone gets the meaning. There is also the "Wenn Vögel mit Vögel vögeln, vögeln Vögel mit Vögeln." Which is really not translatable other than "when birds fuck with birds, then birds fuck with bird" which loses almost everything in translation, but in german (even more for teenagers) its hella hilarious ;)
6:28 That particular instance could easily backfire even if copyright traps _were_ enforceable, for the simple fact that esquivalience is an actually-useful word describing a scenario that a lot of people relate to. Not some niche jargon that nobody outside of a very specific field would ever even think about using.

@@TheDutchCreeperTDC Haha :)
is the S or C silent in "Scent"
Neither, because SC has a /s/ phonem when put together. Just as PH has a /f/ sound in telephone.
@sosig bruh you dumb it’s the f
smb963 both
I believe it’s c but idk
According to my aunt, the letters 'sc' specifically in this word make the sound '/s/', so none are silent.
Sorry I had to be that person.

3:44 what about “bluffing and nothing”
ff and th are *slightly* different sounds and don't count. Perfect rhymes are very strict.
I always thought it was ironic that a song called "isn't it ironic" contained no irony.
guess it's up to interpretation what about it is ironic
@@luisp.3788 I dont think that's how Alanis Morrisette intended it, I really think she had no idea what irony was.
@@dcrenshaw42 Maybe.
Either we've got a paradox on our hands (kind of like 'This statement is false.') or we've got ourselves an idiot.
Is should have been called "It's totally not ironic"

Or we could say: "I then tickle." in a brooklyn accent.
I den tickle.

1:58 Yes, borange is a word. It's a term used to describe a celebration where people enjoy commitment without being married. The term was coined by someone who noticed that there was no word in the English language that rhymed with "orange".
Borange
Meaning
A celebration where people enjoy commitment without being married
How it works
People stay boranged as long as they want, and can end the relationship by saying "We're durpled!"
-google ai, I also saw this word when I was younger

In german we have "Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach". It loses some fun in translation but its still funny:
"when flies fly behind flies, then flies fly after flies"
I love this video :)
Oh, of course! Because in German all nouns have capitals, and the word for the noun fly is the same as the verb flies! It does kinda lose it's flare in English though...
@@LulfsBloodbag yeah, but even if you dont capitalize, everyone gets the meaning.
There is also the "Wenn Vögel mit Vögel vögeln, vögeln Vögel mit Vögeln."
Which is really not translatable other than "when birds fuck with birds, then birds fuck with bird" which loses almost everything in translation, but in german (even more for teenagers) its hella hilarious ;)

@@21st.streetbeatsproduction54 so you know the german language?
6:28 That particular instance could easily backfire even if copyright traps _were_ enforceable, for the simple fact that esquivalience is an actually-useful word describing a scenario that a lot of people relate to. Not some niche jargon that nobody outside of a very specific field would ever even think about using.

at school there was a book about saving trees written on paper and we had to take notes on it with a pencil
Finally, a real example of irony.
Waaay too many people don’t understand irony and they confuse it with simple coincidences.
Lol. That is irony!
Larry Berg true irony right here.
You guys should have wrote those notes on your iPads instead.
