all words are made up | Tumblr | Know Your Meme

snuffles005 Follow as someone who studies linguistics, i will never not laugh when someone says "that word doesn't exist" like, my good bitch. if a word is regularly used by a certain amount of people then it exists. if it has its own grammatical rules then its perfectly valid. it's part of their lexicon now, sweetie. "It's a made up word" honey, all words are made up. Linguists didn't just f------ excavate athens and were like BEHOLD!!! VOCABULARY!! "that word isn't in the dictionary" dictionaries are not rule books, they're record books. "Refrigerate" didn't exist 200 years ago and yet here we are. a language that doesn't adapt to an ever changing society is bound to be lost because eventually, it won't be able to keep up with Social progress. you m------------.

homunculus-argument My theory is that ghosts get their energy by sucking the oil out of door hinges. That's how you know a place is haunted. Because the doors creak, even if you've just oiled them. The ghosts suck the oil out.
