      ​@@whyamideadindiscord3081I'm replying to a year old comment because I'm sick and bored but: Heel turn is already an established phrase, generally for when a heroic character becomes villainous. It comes from professional wrestling where a "heel" is a wrestler who plays the villain in a match or story, usually by doing things such as cheating or scheming. When a good wrestler, or a face, becomes an evil one its called a heel turn. And the reverse, a face turn, is also a thing.

      SAME. I literally did a project on memes for my degree too, so this video was AWESOME. Some stuff I knew, a bunch of it I didn't (like I didn't realize 90s pogs were indeed part of the etymology of "pog", I thought it was JUST a "play of the game" reference! :O)

    18:08 The etymology of the word "Gibberish" is actually really fun and interesting too! Romani/Gypsy people in the UK always faced prejudice and hatred, mainly because they looked different to everyone else and lived life differently. People had all sorts of stereotypes about them, one of them being that the language that they speak (Angloromani, often the only other language some English people would hear in their entire lives besides English) is pure nonsense. Since "jib" is Romani for "language"/"tongue", the Romani themselves often simply referred to their language as "Jib", which amongst the Brits came to be synonymous with "nonsense", i.e. "they're speaking jib" or "they're speaking Gibberish" meaning they're speaking nonsense. So yeah, this word that's completely innocent in the modern day and has no real synonym to its modern meaning is actually rooted in xenophobic racism! Etymology is fun

      Yeah, us Brits can be really horrible. We used to call them 'Irish travellers', and would leave signs on shop doors saying 'No dogs or Irish'...
      To this day Irish is another word synonymous with gibberish, despite being an accepted language spoken in Ireland that has nothing to do with gibberish

    I feel stupid now for having used "poggers" when it's so stupid and meaningless. I love that it was a drink at some point and that's where the actual Pogs come from. Nostalgic. You should look up the etymology on that word actually. I'm pretty sure nostalgia has a weird ass etymology, if I know it right. I think it's in relation to Homer's Odyssey.
