>>216033159Bongs are closet ouiaboos and try to emulate the French as much as possible. Hence, why they say aubergine and we say eggplant
>>216033988>>216033026Thank you Bongs for inventing Winnie the Pooh. I was obsessed with that franchise when I was a toddler :)

>>216035632I say this, just like I say a neurodivergence of Germans
>>216032980All 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
