Is it vegan when i keep the goldfish in my stomach and drop some pellets in there for the fish? Will my stomach juices potentially absorb some non-vegan kibble?

To really understand the shittiness of this post, you need a bit of context. Many East Asian languages rely heavily on onomatopoeias to imply actions and verbs. Gulu gulu (also often written guru guru) is the onomatopeia that represents a tumbling sound, like something being tossed around in a rotating container. Essentially, it implies the verb, "churning." The post is basically saying that it will make your stomach churn and give you a stomachache.

No, thank you. I'll enjoy it at the lowest brow without prerequisite knowledge.

Slavic liquid metathesis moment

So in Slavonic linguistics, there's a sound change known as the Slavic liquid metathesis, which is what gives us South Slavic forms like grad (town) as in Belgrad, as opposed to East Slavic forms, like gorod, as in Belgorod.

The reconstructed ancestor of gorod and grad is *gord (in historical linguistics, an asterisk indicates a reconstructed form). Due to changes in syllable boundary rules in the Slavic language of the day (roughly 8th/9th century AD), you could no longer have two consonants at the end of a syllable, so *gord had to change. In East Slavic, this was solved by adding an extra vowel to break up the consonant cluster, giving us gorod. In South and West Slavic, this was done by moving the /r/ sound to the onset (start) of the syllable (and the vowel was also changed), giving us grad. The "liquid" part of the name refers to "liquid" sounds, /r/ and /l/, since this particular process applied to them.

It almost looks like this is what's going on here, although not quite. It would have to be gulgulg > gluglug to count as liquid metathesis, but the l and u switched around, which is good enough for me. Plus there's the pun with liquid and water.

Hopefully that at least somewhat explains the joke. I don't know if it's very clear.

Not only explains it but I learned something. I appreciated.

Don't drink water: fish piss in it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Or maybe - don't swallow whole live fish to start with. Seems like this should be in the book of common sense somewhere. On the other hand, some people eat live octopus and then get smothered when it comes up their throats and blocks their windpipes.

So. Ya know, you might not wanna go do that.
