  • Kann nicht bestätigen. Bin Kerl, würde höchstens vorgeben, mich zu freuen und es dann dem nächst besten Biertrinker weiterverschenken.

    Ich hab alle möglichen Arten Biere versucht, von Ale zu Lager, Weissbier, Imperial Stout und alles dazwischen und drumrum. Ich mag den Geschmack von Bier/Hopfen einfach nicht. 😐

  • Ich weiss nicht ob ich je eine passendere Antwort auf so etwas gesehen habe als der Gesichtsausdruck des Mannes in diesem Bild. Das ist kein blosser WTF-Ausdruck, das ist ein "meinem Hirn ist der Sicherheitsschalter rausgeflogen beim Versuch, den Idiotielevel des gehörten einzuordnen" Gesicht. 🤣

  • Basierend auf deiner Aussage nehme ich an das könnte Trump sein. Sieht aber eher nach einer verschollenen Cousine von Otto Walkes aus. Falls es tatsächlich Trump ist, entschuldige ich mich schon mal herzlichst bei Otto's Verwandtschaft.

  • Elmo already suffered enough with his mind of a child and getting bullied and gaslit by his "friends", he doesn't deserve having his name sullied by having it used to refer to Musk.

  • You'd be just fine if you remain a decent human being rather than becoming an egotistical and racist pile of garbage.

    Also, Musk was born rich and basically bought his fame.

  • There's nothing about dislike in "homophagic". "homo-" means "same" ("hetero-" means "different"), the root "phag" means "to eat" (compare "sarcophagus", which literally means "flesh eater").

  • I'm not saying they're fancy, just that there are more people on the planet that can't speak English than people who can.

    Also, most people on the planet speak multiple languages. There are even less people on the world that only speak a single language than there are English speakers. So, if anything, speaking just a single language, even if it's English, is the abnormal thing.

    Lastly, it's not about "feeling successful", as you put it, but about being able to communicate with more people and being able to enjoy more things.

    How did the Spanish word "éxito" come to mean "success"?

    The word éxito in Spanish (and cognates in other iberian romance languages) has the meaning of success, but it is a cognate of English "exit".

    According to Wiktionary, they all come from Latin "exitus", which is a participle of "exire", which literally means "to go out/outside, to exit, to leave".

    Also on the Wiktionary page for this word is someone asking about this apparent semantic shift in Spanish, which got me wondering as well. Further googling only told me that it's not just Spanish but also Galician and Portuguese, possibly more.

    Does anyone have information on how this shift developed? Or is the written evidence we have so poor that it might just as well have suddenly acquired the current meaning overnight as gradually over several generations and we wouldn't be able to tell?
