  Just remove the space and suddenly birdleaf becomes evocative and Beowulfy.

    lol, very poetic. i like it though, like how in some languages, the word for toes would translate literally to “fingers of the feet” or “foot fingers”

      Yeah dedos-do-pé in pt. But if someone’s taking off your sucks you can tell him to put the dedos in his mouth and he’ll know from context.

      I did wonder if this is a translation thing. Like maybe not automated translation but the author.

    In my language it was erotic vs perverted but it’s nice to see the joke is more universal

  Bird leaf is less upsetting than tree feather.

    Both are superior to the words normal people use.

  Please tell me there’s a language out there that actually calls them “bird leaves.” Like how there’s a language where the word for green is “leaf blue.”

    In Spanish the word for pen can also be for a feather.

    Pluma

    I think its more of a Latin America thing as textbooks prefer to use bolígrafo

      In Spanish the word for pen can also be for a feather.

      In English, too, with the word quill. Though the word now specifically means a pen made from a feather rather than a pen in general, and calling a feather that isn’t being used as a pen a quill is very archaic.

    In English, orange is essentiall “orange red,” as in “red like an orange.” Prior to oranges making their way to Europe, the color we refer to as “orange” was red, or yellow-red. Hence people with orange hair being called “red-heads.”

  Because crediting sources is cool.

  Screenshot of the same Twitter posts OP posted, but without the usernames censored out. @yunqky posts, “do you know how sexy it is when he teases you in bed with a bird leaf” @CptnClout replies, “Bitch you mean a feather?”
