Comment on genius

I know the post is a joke but it’s more like “somebody owns a helicopter rental business and they’re bitching about repairs on helicopters they themselves don’t pilot so they themselves aren’t in danger”

    The etymology of helicopter is actually a compound word divided in an unexpected place:
    
    “Helico” means rotating or spiral.
    
    “Pter” means wing, as in the word “pterodactyl.”
    
    So if we’re gonna bring that into another compound word, we should probably chop it in the right place: pterlord.

    Aerolord.
    
    I just realized we will probably have aerolords in a couple decades. I should invest in clean air and stockpile it. Maybe it’s my chance to be a lord.
