    If you wanna say “hello shark!” in Danish you’ll say “hej haj!”

    Good thing we don’t have sharks in Danish waters otherwise it’ll become pretty awkward when you greet someone at the beach.

    I love these etymologies where it’s just “this word comes from a similar sounding word with the same meaning.” Who would have guessed.
    Me. I would have guessed.

  I posit this completely made up definition.

  Shark is an adjunction of two words

  Sharp; because, well look at them

  and Ark; because they are boats.

  Sharp-Ark > Shark

  Isn’t language funny sometimes

    Ship-Bark. Ship, because they are in water. Bark because they go RAWR before biting you. Ship-Bark. Shark.
