That's just forced perspective.
This cow is small, that cow is far away.
Trump: cowfefe!
I didn't know what it meant to be hit so hard in he feels until this.
I was walking down "roading lane" yesterday and i thought that was bad enough.
If it helps, "monosyllabic" has five syllables. (Last time I mentioned this on lemmy I was bombarded by people who had a lot to say about it, though)
I mean yeah, I guess it helps empower my suicidal ideation. ta!
Do you happen to have the link? It's Sunday here and I need fun.
The link to someone criticizing my use of monosyllabic?
Well the context made it look like it was about people having a "short vs long" this-thread-ish freakout on the fact that monosyllabic has five syllables, but sure why not.
Gotcha, sorry if I was unclear. It will likely take me a bit to find the link (it was a long time ago), but I'll see if I can find it for you.
They actually the same size, it's just latin alphabet is stupid and doesn't have a letter for sound SH.
Long is actually longer, imo.
Say them out loud and see which takes longer.
It's more like [lo:ng] than [long] like [bong]

Anyway, short in Estonian is "lühike" and long is "pikk" so we have the same issue
Hahaha, "pikk" means penis in norwegian
And the word you use for salmon in Norwegian means “spank” (noun not verb) in Estonian
Also I’m craving some røkt laks right now, could you mail me some?
"Pik" in Dutch is also penis.
Pikk even sounds small, just like words have a certain phonetic sound.
long is "pikk"
Incidentally, "dick" in Danish is "pik" regardless of what dimensions you're packing
Well I think ideally you would want a pikk pik. You may additionally want it to be jäme.
Jäme is thick? Delicious? Mighty?
Thick. But of course a mighty cock sounds good too
Poland chiming in. "Długi" and "Krótki". Same problem.
Doesn't the same apply for "ng"? That seems like it could be one letter.
Yeah, but ng could easily be one letter, it’s just not in English.
That problem disappears when you stop speaking English
Many problems do. Unfortunately, other problems, some if them worse, might START as a consequence of the same change, so not really worth it IMO
Is there a term for words that are self-descriptive?
Yes but when you say them out loud you can adjust the lengths
And the word "cum" is actually thinner than the word "water" but cum is still thicker than water (it's a saying)
Viscous is the word you’re looking for.
Yeah, that IS longer than "water", well done!
Suburban Starkiller is right.
