Bongs are so fucking precious

>>216032810 (OP)
I look like this and say that

>>216033159
Bongs are closet ouiaboos and try to emulate the French as much as possible. Hence, why they say aubergine and we say eggplant

>>216033988
>>216033026
Thank you Bongs for inventing Winnie the Pooh. I was obsessed with that franchise when I was a toddler :)

Im honestly surprised why we didn’t just do away with the old Anglo Saxon names for animals and just replace them with French ones
>Oiseau, cheval, vache, agneau, ours, renard, etc

>>216035202
Probably because fancy pant nobles using french loan words weren't the ones handling animals.

>A mcdonalds of yankees
>A rape of indians
>A shyness of finns
>An inebriation of russians
>A theft of albanians
VGH imagine if English was this kino

>A mcdonalds of yanks
you dont say this?

>>216035632
I say this, just like I say a neurodivergence of Germans

>>216032980
All of those were mostly made up memes in the 1800s (altho some trace back earlier, they all lost favor until 1800s when Victorians came up with all these silly names)
So it has nothing to do with being well read since they’re barely established in the language regardless. ”A group of” is correct for all animals

>>216032882
