Reply to There's a perception that you can't just invent a word, and yet hundreds of thousands of them have been invented by pufballcat
I think you are confused with the statement that we cannot invent things without a reference.
The very core of language and words is based on the concept of creating symbols as reference, putting those together and assign a generally accepted meaning to those symbols we now call "words ".
You can put any of the existing symbols together to create a word. All you need to do is get people to assign a collective meaning to it.

I was originally toying with the idea of “if something illegal or unexpected…” but in the end decided to keep it brief.

Reply to comment by Juzofle in The word 'Crisps' has a questionable number of syllables. by SANCTIMONY_METER
I learned it that syllables count the number of times you say a vowel sound (even if that sound is not produced by an actual vowel, as in “example”, where the “ple” sounds like “pull”)

Crisps is one of my favorite words because it sounds like you're trying to get the attention of your friend Chris

He's trimming the hedges in broad daylight. Sure it sounds like a euphemism, and it could be.

I think it’s actually the s at the end that’s the problem. A “p” is easy to say without opening your mouth. But you literally can’t make an s sound without parting your lips

Reply to That 90s Show is farther from the 90s than that 70s Show was from the 70s by islandofcaucasus
I hate it so far. That 70's Show had memorable characters, because they were stereotypes. Every single cast member reminded you of someone you knew in highschool.
That 90's Show? All the kids are just clones of "self absorbed naive teenager".

Reply to comment by Perfect_Variation_ in People who stop talking to you when they're in a relationship do it because they're secretly more in love with you than the person they're with by omissionpossible
I’m thinking they did not respect the relationship so the person had to walk away. Had a friend that kept saying I should date them, instead of my spouse, so I had to walk away. They were fun, and a good friend, but they couldn’t accept that I wasn’t interested in dating them and it made the friendship very uncomfortable.

It's really hard to get a good swing on my own arse. Can I practice on my wife before moving on to the general public?

I was referring to HSV-1 and HSV-2 specifically should have said so so that’s my bad.

Of course you have to starve the piggies for a few days first, but then the sight of a dead body, will look like curry to a piss head.

Reply to comment by Crux_AMVS24 in The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24
Except we know there's a lower range for temperature (zero kelvin). We don't know really know the upper range. Being impossible to reach zero isn't the same as infinity, and I don't know how you'd scale heat increases as you get exponentially hotter.
As an example, the hottest theoretical temperature is Planck temperature, which is 10^32 kelvin. How do you scale that in reverse? Assume 10^32 is 1, so our regular temperatures start at 10^31.9999...? I don't know how you'd apply an inverse scale like this in a realistic way. Its nonsensical.
