Impossibru!

Not in the UK itself (hence I distinguish them with “mainlanders”), just someone who has lived a commonwealth/territorial upbringing and has moved around a few times. The debate with said mainlanders sticks out because people within the physical UK differ largely in how they say things, and when you emulate them and fail from the perspective of someone from a lesser part of the anglosphere, you can’t make the case as well that it’s just a matter of different equally valid uses for the same vocabulary.

Neither would be wrong.

Fortunately the encephalitis part didn’t happen in the UK but abroad.

My inner cryptographer tried to find a meaning in this and I couldn’t detect any. I’d be surprised if Lambchop would try.

If you don’t believe me, you could always show up locally and test it out. It is true.

I’m actually learning this now. I thought it was pronounced like the “semite” in “anti-semite” but with a “yo” in front instead of an “anti”.

TIL something I’ve always experienced has a name.

Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

As they say, live by the swordultimate, die by the swordultimate.

Very similar to this, on multiple occasions I’d try to make macarons and accidentally make macaroons and vice versa.

I made a… similar mistake due to Sonic Allstars.

Often I do see it used that way, many times a “remix” of a song will be labelled a “redux” on YouTube.

Encephalitis has many causes, yes, but HIV is the one that sticks out. If you go to someone and talk about it, they’re going to have the same “assume the worse” or “out of context” mindset as if you were to talk about mononucleosis (to give a distant analogy). Sure, mononucleosis can be caused by several things, such as sharing a toothbrush or having someone cry on you, but everyone associates it with what it’s famous for, being spread through liberal usage of intimacy. Same with encephalitis. So when you go to a random neighbor here and say “how is the kid with encephalitis” they’re not going to take it well. People here are prudish like that.

No it’s true.

I thought something similar about the word “campy”, as in something so dry it becomes its own style.

I mean they are technically related.

I mean I do see it used that way more often than not.
