I was just wonderin whenever i hear slang about dawgs and what not, and trying to learn Russian, and listening to the sounds certain words make, and i kinda think that we Americans have weird words. ie, pelican, rooster, hot dog, movie, caca peepee, slang, Boo, cuz, cheeze, cantaluope, why do we look at a four legged animal with a main and a long neck a HORSE, like hurry fast....look....horse did u miss it, and then look at a cow and watch it Not move and then see its mouth move in a o formation, then we copy and put sound to it and get CCCOOOWWW.

Weird American Words

the english language is based off of germanic languages but somehow more closely resembles french then german (I do not understand how, but I learned it in a linguistics class) so being the mixture it tends to make things weird, I like words that as you spell them you are actually saying the word, like oreo o-r-e-o. I used to have another one but I forgot it...the worst is when you look at an object, like a shovel, and say shovel over and over unitl it completely looses its meaning.

Well, if you put your pig in a poke, you will have trouble taking him anywhere, but if you poke your pig in a bag, will you have the same trouble?
