'Puto Detetive' could mean something entirely different in Spanish (Puto Detective). 😂😂😂 But in Portuguese, it simply means 'Kid Detective.'
Language quirks never fail to entertain!

Und #Anomie ist auch nicht #Autonom. Und Autonom hat nichts mit Automobil zutun. Und #reaktionär bedeutet statt reaktionsfreudig tatsächlich rückwärtsgewandt und rückschrittig.
Aber #konservativ kommt vom selben Wortstamm wie Konserve und Konservieren.

"Egregious" in English and "egregius" in Latin (egregio in Italian) have opposite meanings. When English borrowed "egregious" in the 1500s, it meant "remarkably good". By the 1600s the word had flipped to mean "conspicuously bad" which is the only sense that survives today.🤔

French 'attendre' means to wait, not to attend.
'Je t'attends' is 'I'm waiting for you', not 'I'm attending to you'. To attend an event is 'assister à'. Politely misleading either way.

I repeat: It's not a gift if I have to front the cash for it.
You do not get to decide what I should spend money on (the only things I regularly do are rent, bills, food) rather than what YOU want me to spend money on.
So tired.
