RT @Sigdrifr@twitter.com: Bought Kingdom of Verse for my niece's young'uns, but I'm enjoying so much myself I'm reluctant to give away! https://hell.twtr.plus/media/dadb5bcd02cc529e73b454cb6a246d687966297cbecba3f458afceac25ae2cc8.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/969953f7db106e1bc274fe94f552b23fd08603c83d09e34245be872c31d471f8.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f0601aaca187f0735bc50f8620916189a0eccada2156592c6cad784ad34a17b0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6d79c6ddf7a8a0a151c15ecf344a10feb9722f569006e3d2076aafcb45cd0768.file

sometimes you can notice kids doing this if you look for it, such as in the above example. 'peter and paul' to 'peter and jamal', if there were a celebrity named jamal, then his last name might be substituted, rhymed with, and so on. i suspect many odd phrases originate this way

this naturally happens when words been to be avoided. in drug world, for example, LSD is acid, shortened to sid, so your friend might say, text me about sid vicious, then you text each other about "sex pistols", then "records". sounds stupid but is a real linguistic phenomenon: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/24785a1c61abe4b4bbb0f212200f302863a62cc755c5530f88b2797b23c0a61e.file

kids naturally partake of a kind of english rhyming slang. to "blow a raspberry" comes from "to blow a fart", "to blow a tart", "to blow a raspberry tart", then finally, "to blow a raspberry". adults often retain this cultural instinct but use it for taboo / sex / drug words. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/209506e213662bfecd27eed52b59cbd41842c3c24ac198c572562fe0796f63db.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4ddb7a29c74362055049118a7fd5cfd00d052f0754d462c940374d8271dce76d.file

in retrospect, from a graphic design standpoint, it wasnt possible to make this look any cooler https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c07e391917e221dac27194fecd5f6c53d7bf96c699a081ba43ae1d2822f558c2.file

odd situation at a party where a pastor i met told me his conversion story in front of some of his congregants, which was him taking drugs and praying to survive. then he asked about my background, which involves way more drugs, but i didnt want to make it seem like a competition
