      Words from other languages that are way more logical than their English translations. For example, "turtoise" in Dutch is "schildpad" (don't you dare to pronounce SCH as SH), which literally means "toad with a shield", which I think is awesome.

      The two etymologies of "tattoo". One is markings under the skin. The other is a type of drumbeat (US) or also a type of military parade or demonstration (UK). The story goes deep, and even involves a difference in bugle calls in the US Civil War.

    🎼The root word for ladle, LADEN, meaning heavily loaded or weighed down, was featured in a TOP 10 song in 1969 called, "He Ain't Heavy; He's My Brother," whose lyrics stated:
    … If I'm LADEN at all
    I'm LADEN with sadness
    That everyone's heart

    I don't have a tortoise, but I used to help my friend care for her rescued Bearded Dragon and Green Iguana while she was fostering them, and they ate a variety of greens that we'd rinse... in a colander! Including dandelions when we could find them, but mostly collared greens, chard, kale, mustard greens, and the tops of carrots.

  • @HalfEye79
    @HalfEye79 4 дня назад +5

    The german names of these utensils are completely different.
    The spatula has the descriptive name (a compound word) of "Pfannenwender" with translates more into "pan-flipper".
    The ladle has the very simple name of "Kelle".
    The tongs have the name of "Zange", which can be found on things in the toolbox like pliers. Therefore, there sometimes is a specification to each of it.
    The colander has, too, a descriptive name for the most purposed use: "Nudelsieb" ("noodle-sieve").

    spatula German: Pfannenwender oder Bratschaufel. But the spatula (Spachtel) can immediately come to mind. This is how you spread cement.
    ladle German: Kelle. As a German word I think of load -> laden
    tongs German: Zange
    colander Ger: Sieb
    utensils German: Utensilien oder Gegenstände

    In Dutch, a colander is called "vergiet", similar to the word for watering can: "gieter". They both come from te verb "gieten", which means "to pour". I think this is a way better word for it.

    I'd been used to thinking of 'lade' as the present tense of laden. A weary man is laden down with cares, and a bill of lading is a list of whatever stuff you've loaded onto a ship.
    ...also one of those words I get annoyed when a word game won't let me use them.

    That spatula, I'd call it a pancake turner. I use it for a lot of other things, but still, pancake turner. Spatha and Spathe are the origin of Spanish espada and French épée (sword)
    Never heard of a bill of lading? Also think larboard. And laden.

    I have an idea for a video. How about words that your audience thinks should mean something else. For example, I think that the word "dopesmoker" should mean "roughly an hour". Because of the album Dopesmoker by the band Sleep, which has only one song, called Dopesmoker. The album is a little over an hour long. So, "dopesmoker" should mean "about an hour".
    Usage example
    "How long till you get here?" Your Grandmother
    "I'd say a dopesmoker" You
