@mashedradish I just read your article "Emojiology: 🙏 Folded Hands" I understand that emoji are no longer culturally bound, but you all are missing out on a lot of key etymological information by not talking to anyone Japanese about the origins of emoji. 1/2
@mashedradish For example, while 🙏 is used for itadakimasu, it's main use is/was onegaishimasu. In other words, "Please!" Depending on context it can be similar to 🥺 The reason for the action lines was because people often make a show of clapping their hands together when asking. 2/2
🗣 In our latest #podcast episode, @Dictionarycom's John Kelly (@mashedradish) gave words of encouragement for anyone working to be more gender-inclusive in their everyday communications. Be patient with yourself - it's a learning process! ➡️ bit.ly/3pS28fI
@mashedradish @GrammarGirl @Dictionarycom Thanks @GrammarGirl and @mashedradish for bringing out such an amazing and informative episode. Learnt so many new words and their journey to Dictionary. 😊
@GrammarGirl This is a GREAT episode! Language lives…
For more in this vein, may we refer you to @mashedradish’s "A matrix of -shits,” from 2017. stronglang.wordpress.com/2017/11/07/a-m…
"This metaphorical extension of climate (prevailing opinion) has been been in use since the mid-1600s—and I hope, as Earth’s climate continues to heat up, so, too, will the political climate on Trump’s fateful choice." 2015 @mashedradish #Etymology piece mashedradish.com/2017/06/02/how…
We've got @bgzimmer of @americandialect, @PeterSokolowski of @MerriamWebster, @mashedradish of @Dictionarycom, @La_Ladybug of @OED, Wendalyn Nichols of @CambridgeWords, @RWTHistory of @ozworders, and @lynneguist of Separated by a Common Language. It's a full house! #ThatWordChat
"Allyship" was just added to @Dictionarycom this year, which speaks to the Zeitgeist around it. @mashedradish #ThatWordChat
What's interesting is that "allyship" is an abstract concept. @Dictionarycom is seeing it give its users an "aha" moment, putting a name to a thing that they're grappling with. @mashedradish #ThatWordChat
Thank you to all our fabulous guests: @bgzimmer, @PeterSokolowski, @mashedradish, @La_Ladybug, @CambridgeWords, @RWTHistory, & @lynneguist! We love you all! #ThatWordChat
@stronglang @KoryStamper @mashedradish I also explored "apeshit" for Slate in 2018. slate.com/culture/2018/0…
Good question! We've looked at animal-shit terms in English: 1. Add -shit and stir: The intensifying affixal -shit, by @KoryStamper: stronglang.wordpress.com/2014/12/31/add… 2. Ripshit bonkers, by @bgzimmer: stronglang.wordpress.com/2017/05/19/rip… 3. A matrix of -shits, by @mashedradish: stronglang.wordpress.com/2017/11/07/a-m…
Do you ever get to thinking about how 'shit' is a pretty universal swear word, but the defining the species changes the meaning? Like batshit is crazy, apeshit is angry, horseshit is lies (is horseshit the same as bullshit?? I dunno!) Do those carry across other languages?
@stronglang @mashedradish A matrix of shits is what my life needs, along with, perhaps, a collective noun for multiple types of shit that aren't on a matrix. A pile? A toilet? Does one already exist?
And yet still no word for "the day before yesterday" and "the day after tomorrow" #englishamirite
