I wonder if speakers of other languages also find English words kind of ridiculous
EvilBit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Gift in German means poison.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they are on the opposite side of “lol German words are compounded like crazy” and look at us as “lol English has a different word for everything now get me a drink from the cool closet before I put you in the sick house, you shield toad.”

Ok, “shield toad”?

Words like comeuppance and conniption? Bunghole? Squeegee? Hoedown? Poppycock?
English has words I’m sure English speakers find funny/ridiculous.

According to google translate this means “lime stuffing” so it kinda just is ridiculous

a “stuff” is a drill core, or other piece of rock that’s used in lab tests. so “kalkstuff” is a piece of limestone.

It’d not actual Swedish, just words related to the product mashed together.
