Once a word sounds silly in my head, it’s hard to make it make any sense any more.

Just be happy it wasn’t a “BOOM”.
A smite can very well be a BOOM!
I guess you never mishear(?) a word with a translator chip.
Or never wonder what the words are from a song someone is singing.
Is it possible to be deaf with one?
I’m glad I don’t have one. If I had one, “poof” there goes half of the excuses I give to my wife on why I didn’t do something she asked me to do.
For some reason, the word “snuck” has always become meaningless in the least repetitions – ahead of any other word I know. Snuck snuck snuck.
What was once a boon has become a boon_doggle_! Is she concerned she might be hornswaggled? Worried he might give her the flim-flam, the razamatazz, the old timblerig?
Until they learn chemistry then back to rockets and guns and grenades. The Chinese were first at it and also to mechanical robotic devices too. imagen a rocket weapon that carries missiles on it and fires them off. not a future weapon.
Might as well bring back archaic terms. Without guns, people are going to bring back swords and spears and armor and get medieval on each other.
Speaking of things stuck in one’s head….I now see Monty Python’s King Arthur and the Black Knight in my head(!)….Tis But A Scratch!
Or down right Neolithic!
IIRC, (and I have been known to have crappy memory), Chipu is from Bhutan. So that little bit of sarcasm there might have come from growing up in a monarchy. Even “boon” may come from old speech habits when addressing a government official, the sort of formal speech some places use.
Actually, Bhutan’s a pretty interesting place when you start to read about it. I’m going to go down that rabbit hole for a bit.
I’ve been struggling with “investigator”… it just doesn’t sound right to me. And I listen to a LOT of true crime podcasts as I go to sleep so I hear it all the time.
On this fateful eve, it is meet to grant a brave worm a boon.
@Nemo Might that be “moot”?
Nope. That’s a quotation.
“Once a word sounds silly in my head, it’s hard to make it make any sense any more.”
Good old Semantic Satiation strikes again.
Is Halip losing it?
Does a boon sometimes attach to a boondock?
Halip is a noob when it comes to boons.
I know those are probably supposed to be control switches on the desk, but at first it just looked like Halip was eating cookies at work.
Whoops. Those are gun crumbs. This is what happens when you read the latest strip first, then back up into the week.
Speaking of speech that is irritating, most cops pronounce corroborate as “cowoborate”. Makes them sound like Elmer Fudd.
Other, lesser, more primitive societies say “grant.” Be that as it may.
Was a little fast last time. Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven…
Wait till you find out about “SMITE” the flip side of “BOON” in all its effects.
Reward and punishment may be an easier selection of words.
